Latrell Mitchell has been recognised for his contribution to the NSW State of Origin team both on and off the field by being named the recipient of the 'True Blue Award' for 2021.
The award annually goes to the player that best displays the team’s core values and helps build the culture.
After being overlooked for the 2020 series, Mitchell was dominant in the Blues record-breaking series, won 2 games to 1 with a for and against of 94-26.
The Biripi and Wiradjuri superstar crossed for four tries and posted 452 running metres across his three matches.
Many pundits believed he was worthy of claiming the Wally Lewis Medal for player of the series, which was awarded to fellow centre and Brad Fittler Medallist Tom Trbojevic.
Isabelle Kelly claimed the Sky Blues player of the year while Trbojevic was named People's Chocie winner.
