He should be referred straight to the judiciary. 10 weeks.

Anything less than something with double digits sends the wrong message.

it was bad but there has been far worse. Danny Williams in 2004 I think it was, the Hoppa one from around the same time

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.
Latrell's suspension was influenced by priors. Seems all priors have now been wiped. I think this is more along the lines of BJ Leilua's hit on Edwards a couple of years ago, but worse. He got 4 weeks for that. I'm thinking 8 weeks for this.

It's gotta be a pretty significant one i would think
Deliberate elbow to the face of a player... reminded me a lot of the Luke O'Donnell elbow on Michael Monaghan that broke his jaw, think he got 10-12 weeks for that
Barnett getting lucky and not causing serious injury shouldnt work in his favour. I would expect a similar 10-12 week sit down for him.

Very typical knights behaviour though, isnt it?

It’s 100% in the DNA of the club.

Adam O’Brien confirmed that when he not only refused to criticise Mitch and play the old “I didn’t really see it properly” card, he then lashed the media and said that Mitch needs support and care because nobody is doing it tougher than he is (I’d suggest Chris Smith may have something to say about that).

Filthy stuff from Barnett - once again vindicating Ricky’s decision to give him the chop - but even filthier from O’Brien and the Knights since.

Everyone knows you should use the Mum line after a double eye-gouge

Ricky Stuart

“I’m really disappointed in some of the comments that have been aimed at Hudson because it might sound funny to you but he’s got a mother out there who is really in desperate need for her son - she’s very upset.

“Hudson is very upset. We’ve got to think about the person here as well.
