'He takes it personal': Panthers know Latrell influence a big factor

Penrith co-captains Nathan Cleary and Isaah Yeo are well-aware of the influence Latrell Mitchell brings to the Rabbitohs but insist they will not be flustered by his presence in the preliminary final on Saturday night.

The pair have been Mitchell’s NSW teammate at Origin level but missed the opportunity to line up against the Souths fullback in last year’s grand final due to his suspension.

The Panthers will host the Rabbitohs at 9.50pm Saturday while the Cowboys will face the Eels at 9.50pm Friday.
