South Sydney powerhouse Latrell Mitchell sent Sydney Roosters rookie Toby Rodwell crashing to the turf with a heavy tackle during their NRL clash at Allianz Stadium on Friday night.
The collision came as Mitchell, who returned to the Rabbitohs’ starting side at centre, confronted Rodwell in the Roosters’ attack. The force of the contact left the young halfback on the ground as play continued.
Rodwell, 20, made his NRL debut for the Roosters earlier this season and was named at halfback for the round 27 fixture. ([nrl.com](https://www.nrl.com/players/nrl-premiership/roosters/toby-rodwell/?utm_source=openai))
