“We were never going to get beat,” said Mitchell, who was in Darling Harbour for the weigh-in for the Paul Gallen-Justin Hodges clash. “It was more, ‘How do we win?’ and make sure we make the team click. And we did. Mitchell has been one of the biggest supporters of the Indigenous All Stars fixture and is certain to make himself available for the pre-season clash against the Maori All Stars. New Indigenous coach, but Mitchell said there were better ways to promote the team.
“That’s probably the best chance we can get. We [could] do [other things while playing] for Australia, getting an Indigenous jersey to play in or start doing the dance, performing or something little. We can get everything to tie in and be proud of the country.”Mitchell has achieved every conceivable goal in the game, from winning premierships to starring at State of Origin level. However, he rated the Kangaroos’ World Cup win up there with any other sporting experience.
