Barnett alleged racial slur

[NoSchitSherlock]

He'll be out next week at least. It'll be based on "he said...".
"The NRL Integrity Unit will review audio and footage of an incident in the Gold Coast Titans' win over Newcastle on Friday night, involving Knights lock Mitch Barnett allegedly directing a racial slur at Tyrone..."

Half our team isn't white. Barnett seems to get in fine with everyone, surely he didn't say it.

 

[Zoidberg]

I really think Peachy misheard him. It makes complete sense to say “I’ll get you back c***”.

 

[newyboy]

joey said the same about Inglis didn't he?

What part of What Barnett said is wrong in these BLM times.

Does Peachey identify as Black?
Is he a C***t?

 

[AusKnightRKO]

In the end, if he is found guilty of it he will be sacked, so might be on the look out for a new Lock for next year as well.

Unless there's audio it will be a case of he said she said, if he did say it I'd be very disappointed but I have my doubts

lol righto.

Hard to know if it was misheard or whether Barnett did say it. Hoping he didn't but Peachey is pretty adamant he did.

It would be an extremely dumb thing to accuse someone of, as character wise it could destroy Barnett in the current climate.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

If he said it then coming out with an apology might save him from the hammer.

There's a likelihood that Peachey misheard, as has been mentioned already it's plausible he said "I'll get you back c***"

Now, now... an immortal of the game would never have said such a thing.

So.. Have the NRL found anything yet or are they just going to drag it out until the end of the week?

 

[myrrh ken]

“I’ll get you back c***”.

Is that what he says he said?

 

[Zoidberg]

Is that what he says he said?

Yes.

 

[myrrh ken]

Yes.

I can't find any sauce

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

I can't find any sauce

Do you keep it in the fridge or cupboard?

That's where I keep my sources.

I want sauce

Barnett is in the clear due to lack of evidence...

Someone told me Peachy has made unsubstantiated claims like this before ? Not sure if thats true.

I just couldnt imagine Barny saying it. His best friends are the Saf's and over half our team isnt white.

Horrible thing to be wrongly accused of and unfortunately some mud will stick.

Yeah I'm just happy we're moving on from this. It's hard to make a judgment when you've only got the word of Tyrone and Mitch to go off with no further evidence available.

I've never been a fan of Tyrone Peachey ever since he wanted out of his Titans contract not long after joining them. He's the anti-thesis of the sort of player I'd want at my club. If you're going to play for a football club, you have to go in there 100% and commit for the entire duration of your contract. Not just go there to save your NRL career and make an easy dollar. You need to be passionate about the club you're joining or you're just wasting everyone's time.

But I'm not going to say Tyrone made it up, it may be what he genuinely heard. Whether he misheard or not I agree with the sentiment that racism has no place in our game. But unlike the court of social media I don't believe in guilty until proven innocent.
