Latrell Mitchell's dominant return to the Origin arena hasn't gone unnoticed by Queensland legend Greg Inglis, who believes the Blues centre could be the next captain of New South Wales.<\/p>\n

Throughout the first two games of this year's series, in which the Blues have outscored the Maroons 76-6 in total, Mitchell has reminded fans just how valuable he is to the team after missing out on Origin last year during Queensland's 2-1 triumph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The South Sydney star had been in Origin exile since being dumped from the side after Game One in 2019.<\/a><\/p>\n

Coming off a Game Two performance that nearly saw him take home man of the match honours<\/a>, Mitchell, who in total has three tries and two try assists to his name this series, has been lauded by Inglis and touted as a future Origin captain<\/p>\n

"He was obviously a bit nervous in Game One," Inglis told Nine News Sydney. "But coming back and dominating Game Two is remarkable."<\/p>\n

\"Greg<\/p>\n

Asked by Nine's Danny Weidler if Latrell's "the next generation", Inglis replied with: "Down the track, he could be the captain of the side."<\/p>\n

Mitchell was humbled by Inglis' comments and admits he too has seen a growth in his own game.<\/p>\n

"It's a privilege and honour coming from him (Inglis)," Mitchel told Nine News.<\/p>\n

"I think I've grown into being a leader and I enjoy that.<\/p>\n

"It gives me a sense of belonging in a team. I get to not talk as much, but lead with my actions."<\/p>\n
