Murray said for the Rabbitohs it's business as usual with a 'next man up' mentality, meaning youngster Blake Taaffe is expected to step into Mitchell's shoes.<\/p>\n
"What's done is done," he told Nine's Sunday NRL Footy Show.<\/p>\n
"It's a great opportunity for whoever comes in. Looks like it might be young Blake Taaffe.<\/p>\n
"We always said at the start of the season if we go all the way it'll be a squad effort and we're going to have to rely on the squad .<\/p>\n
"Having Latrell out we're going to have to have other people step up into different roles.<\/p>\n
"I'm really excited to see what Taffy can do for us."<\/p>\n

South Sydney have won five out of six games without Mitchell this year but they were not against top-six teams.<\/p>\n
Peter Sterling agreed that Taaffe was a good choice to replace Mitchell.<\/p>\n
"He was really good when he played there a number of weeks ago," he said on the NRL Sunday Footy Show.<\/p>\n
"I think when you've got Alex Johnston doing what he does, you don't want to interfere with that."<\/p>\n

Fittler was sympathetic with Mitchell despite the damage he caused Manu with a fractured cheekbone.<\/p>\n
"You've got to give it context," he said on the panel.<\/p>\n
"The thing about the tackle is its very unusual to be side-on in our game. He's come across and he's saved the try and sometimes to save the try you've got to come in pretty hard.<\/p>\n
"After that, it's all on Latrell – he's hit him high and his mate is now in hospital and wont be able to play.<\/p>\n
"But you've got to give it balance why the tackle happened, and the end of the day he was shielding the try-line and that's how it ended up. It gives it context."<\/p>\n
