Latrell Mitchell's NRL season is all but over with the South Sydney superstar facing up to nine matches out for the hit that floored Joey Manu.
Mitchell was on Saturday charged with a grade-two reckless high tackle, meaning he can accept a six-week ban for the shot.
The only way he can play again this year would be to try and downgrade the charge at the judiciary, but that would risk the ban extending to nine games.
