The 2024 Koori Knockout is slowly approaching andย Zero Tackleย will keep you apprised of all the information about the tournament and which past and present NRL stars will be competing.
South Sydney Rabbitohs star fullback Latrell Mitchell has become the first current NRL player to confirm his availability for the tournament despite not playing since Round 18.
Currently embroiled in an off-field scandal, Mitchell has been ruled out of selection by Mal Meninga for the upcoming Pacific Championships, meaning he is free to play in the Koori Knockout.
In confirming his availability, Mitchell announced on theย Koori Knockout Podcast that he will represent Taree after playing for the Newcastle Yowies last year.
