South Sydney coach calls Latrell Mitchell ‘stupid’ after he’s put on report twice in loss to Warriors

South Sydney coach Jason Demetriou has labelled Latrell Mitchell's behaviour as "stupid" as the fullback stares at a suspension after being placed on report twice in the Rabbitohs' home defeat to the Warriors.

The Kiwi outfit claimed a 34-4 victory at Accor Stadium but the big talking point in Sydney will be Mitchell's availability over the coming weeks as Souths fell to a 1-4 start.

Mitchell appeared to lead with his elbow, making contact with the head of Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson as the Rabbitohs No 1 brought the ball off his own line in the 18th minute.

He was also cautioned for a dangerous throw in the 31st minute on Tohu Harris after lifting the Warriors captain through the horizontal.

Demetriou says they are both stupid things and they have got to be better, simple as that.

But the South Sydney coach refused to condemn the fullback, whose track record is starting to count against him.

It leaves Mitchell facing suspension ahead of a testing run for the Bunnies, who face Cronulla, Melbourne and Penrith over the next month.
