Rabbitohs defeat Titans in Latrell Mitchell comeback

Luttrell Mitchell wasted no time showing off his footy brilliance in his return from a long injury layoff. Playing at left centre, Mitchell helped the Bunnies snap a nine-game losing streak and jump off the bottom of the table, beating the Titans 20-18. After a lengthy absence, it was only fitting Luttrell Mitchell was involved in the Rabbitohs' first try. Mitchell away to Johnston, and as quickly as that, Johnston notches up number 208. And he stopped the Titans first. Off the right foot, steps into space with his father leading out the team, oh boy! Oh boy indeed, Jaden Campbell way too casual, but just minutes later the home side got on the board, though the pass from Jojo Fafita to Jalen DeGroote was questionable. Used to flick out the back here, oh jeez. The side made it back-to-back try through Bowe for more, but eventually the Rabbitohs evened the score. The Titans were testing in the second half. Pass, open the door and he goes straight through it. Gray in front of him, stumbles, he runs towards the Rabbitohs' fullback. Luttrell Mitchell showed his brilliance finding the Johnston link-up again. Mitchell is there, comes up with the ball, fires it out the back, Johnston for the corner. Campbell came across, Johnston beat him. Sam Beryls managed to sneak through for Gold Coast. They go from dummy half, Beryls caught them out. And things started to get fiery. Jojo Fafita put his body on the line to keep the Bunnies out in the final minutes, but they got him back at the opposite end. Gives it to Jojo Fafita, getting there to take him into touch, a tremendous tackle. With the Titans two behind, it was a nail-biting finish, the Rabbitohs holding on. Chloe Amanda Bailey, 10 News.
