Latrell Mitchell may not be able to play in the opening round of the NRL season, but it seems the South Sydney fullback is raring to go already.
The representative star was caught on camera in a training bust-up with teammate Jacob Host at Redfern Oval today.
Getty Images captured the incident, with the two players squaring up and grabbing each other by the collar.

News Corp reports Mitchell fended off Host during a training drill, which fired up the forward and kickstarted the altercation.
South Sydney teammate Siliva Havili is seen getting between the pair in an effort to break them up.
Mitchell is missing the first game of the season as punishment for his high shot on Joey Manu last year, which broke the latter’s face.
Mitchell surprised viewers in a 9News interview recently when he claimed he does not need to curb his on-field aggression, rather the game needs to adjust its attitude.
