The date for Latrell Mitchell's return to the spotlight has been set after the South Sydney fullback was included in the Indigenous side for the return of the NRL's All Stars to Townsville.

The inclusion of Mitchell - arguably the game's biggest name - is significant after a 2023 campaign dominated by his fitness and the Rabbitohs' failure to make the top eight.
