He's also turning the ball over far too much. The one moment the Tahs looked threatening on Saturday, Mitchell got to about 5-10m out from the try line and then lost the ball. If we'd controlled the ball then, we would have had our best opportunity to score.
I still like Mitchell and can see improvement in him the more he plays, but I highly doubt he will get anywhere close to where he was in 2010.
I would love to see Betham get a run soon (is he fit again yet?). He's 24 and showed massive improvement in the ITM Cup last year. I would prefer to see opportunity given to someone on the way up rather than someone on the way down.
It would be a different story if Mitchell had lost his explosiveness but was a steady, no-mistakes figure at the back. Then he could be forgiven a fair bit while he tries to regain that athletic capacity. Right now, it's getting harder to justify his place.
