Barnett elbow to the jaw

[some11]

What the hell was this lunatic thinking???

How many weeks?

 

[roofromoz]

More than 6

 

[soc123_au]

Needs a 12+ option. Worst dog shot I've seen for a while.

Hopefully Smith is ok, poor merkin gets his shot in a docent team and gets taken out like that.

 

[some11]

I was just basing the weeks off how much Mitchell got for breaking Manu's face.

Maybe they will be stricter this year on deliberate attempts to injure someone.

 

[Perth Red]

Old school

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

I'm thinking 6 weeks but if the NRL are actually serious about head injuries and generally thuggish behavior, they would throw the book at him with a 10+ week stint.

 

[wittyfan]

20 weeks imo.

Anything off the ball should be double. Absolutely inexcusable from Barnett. Should be 10 weeks.

 

[Pugzley]

4 weeks and a $50,000 fine to Jason Ryles

 

[mozza91]

6+ and the merkin can walk home.

 

[yobbo84]

First test of the new MRC system. If he doesn't get referred straight to the judiciary, due to everyone being on a clean slate the worst he can cop is Grade 3 striking, which is 3 weeks with an early plea. Surely he gets referred.

Yeah, he's no star, go hard.

 

[macavity]

They will make an example of him, and even though it hurts my team it’s hard to argue.

One of the dumbest merkin things I have seen on a footy field. How did he think that would end up?

 

[SBD82]

12 weeks.

And Jayden Sua gets sin binned.

 

[Captain Apollo]

It was bad. He deserves a dougle digit match suspension for that in my opinion.

 

[Exsilium]

It’s just such a dumb move. Deserves 8 weeks.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

While it killed what was looking like a great game, I was just glad the officials sent him off. I know many will say that they had no choice, but I think we have all seen past incidents where they have taken the easy option.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Not that bad really. Panthers bloke milked it well.

 

[forby]

Milk is all he might be drinking. Suspected broken jaw.

 

[Vee]

Old fashioned cheap shot. Like he forgot we've got a million cameras these days, and super slomo.
