See the telling sign under-fire Latrell Mitchell has finally got his priorities right after making a heartfelt apology to his teammates

Suspended Souths star Latrell Mitchell appears to have gotten the message from the Rabbitohs as to whether his inactivity on social media means anything after he issued a sincere apology to the team.

Mitchell is currently serving a ban for elbowing Shaun Johnson, following a series of controversies on and off the pitch.

The 26-year-old is usually very active on social media, especially Instagram, but the Rabbitohs full-back has not made a single post in three weeks.

Mitchell’s radio silence comes after he addressed his costly suspension by apologizing to teammates.

Mitchell, who is usually very active on social media, posted the above on Instagram three weeks ago – and hasn’t been heard from since

He also reportedly had a conversation with coach Jason Demetriou and CEO Blake Solly later that day to tell them he was all in.

Two people from Mitchell’s inner circle, his advisor Matt Rose and his agent Wok Wright, reportedly told Mitchell that he should leave the sport if his heart was no longer in it.

Mitchell told the pair he was determined to carry on – and that he still had unfinished business in footy and with Souths.

News of Mitchell’s apology came less than 24 hours after Phil Gould questioned whether the suspended fullback still had an interest in playing in the NRL.

NRL great Brad Fittler also went out of his way to suggest Mitchell should stop getting into fights on social media as it saps his energy.

Mitchell was criticized for his vocal protests against Spencer Leniu after the Roosters star admitted calling Ezra Mam a ‘monkey’ during the opening match in Las Vegas last month.

Leniu was banned for eight matches for the racial slur and ARLC chief Peter V’landys warned the Bunnies star against trying to influence a judicial outcome before the hearing after he posted on Instagram that the NRL would ‘do better with this s** *can handle’.

Mitchell also interacted with Anthony Mundine on social media during the saga.

Mitchell issued a sincere apology to his Souths teammates and told coach Jason Demetriou and CEO Blake Solly that he was all in.

Origin coach Michael Maquire has left the door open for Mitchell to be called up to the Blues

“It started after Las Vegas this year,” Fittler told Wide World of Sports’ Freddy and the Eighth.

‘They got beaten there (by Manly) and it really strengthened from there.

“He’s being held there as one of the indigenous leaders and that, I’m sure, takes a lot of your energy.

‘That’s what happens when you delve into social media and play part of your life on social platforms. It takes up a large part of your life.

“He doesn’t need to touch his social media – people understand his position on the indigenous struggle, and the more and the better he plays football, the better his message will always be.”

Origin coach Michael Maquire has left the door open for Mitchell to be called up to NSW, but has urged him to be in the right headroom if he is to be selected.

“Everyone knows Latrell’s capabilities, but it’s about making sure he’s in the right headspace,” Maguire told the media on Tuesday.

‘Right now I know one thing: in big games you have to concentrate on where you are going. Souths are going through a tough patch, but Latrell has the chance to bunker down and really help the NSW team.

“He’s still got a few months to get himself into that shape, but Origin games are some of the biggest games of your life.

“I want to see that focus from all the players, making sure they’re in a good head space and feeling good about where they are. This benefits the composition of your team.

“We need all our guys to play their best, including Latrell.”
