Barrett facing 6 week ban

[Mr Saab]

He has been charged with striking on Carney from the friday night game....anyone see it?

 

[RainMan]

Nope?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

No.

But deadset he couldnt of f**king done it a week before could he.

Bastard.

 

[Hutty1986]

F*ck!!

It must be pretty serious if he's looking at 6 weeks, I didn't see it

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Was it from that Tackle that Carney stayed down for ages after??

6. Mark Gasnier

 

[Danish]

The NRL dishing out a lengthy sentence for an offence that had no media coverage??

I dont believe it!

Anyone know when this was? Must have been quite a wallop to get Barrett 6 weeks

 

[hotsnow]

wtf didn't even see anything on Friday and haven't heard anyone mention....anything.

This is strange.

 

[Mr Saab]

14th minute mark.

 

[Nuffs]

i didn't see anything and i thought that previous offences must have increased the suspension period

but it's a grade 5 striking charge so it must have been serious

FMD

Things were looking so good for a few days there for Saints.

[The Colonel]

I watched the game and didn't really take much notice of anything to warrant a grade 5 striking charge. And for it not to attract ANY media attention? WTF???

 

[aids]

how long did he get for molesting pj marshs scalp last year?

 

[RABK]

14th minute mark.

It's funny that because the Dragons were in possesion for the entire 14th minute.

 

[The Colonel]

A week at the very most I think.

Barrett faces six-week ban
May 29, 2006

ST George-Illawarra captain Trent Barrett faces six weeks on the sidelines after being charged by the NRL match review committee today.

Barrett was hit with a grade-five striking charge after an incident in the 14th minute of the match against Newcastle on Friday night, won by the Dragons 38-12.

He will be rubbed out for six weeks if he enters an early guilty plea, and eight if he unsuccessfully defends the charge.

Barrett's forearm is alleged to have come into contact with Knights wing Brian Carney's head when an attempted shoulder charge went wrong.

Melbourne forward Ian Donnelly has also been charged, but not for the eye-gouge alleged by Penrith opponent Frank Pritchard during the Storm's 17-16 golden point win over the Panthers yesterday.

Donnelly faces a grade-one charge for contrary conduct and unnecessary contact with the head and neck in the 54th-minute incident involving Pritchard.

He will miss one match with an early guilty plea, and two if he unsuccessfully challenges the charge.

F**k the early plea, I hope the Dragons fight the charge. 6 weeks, 8 weeks, big deal. A grade 5 striking charge for an incident no-one remembers or made an issue over sounds dodgy and beatable to me.

 

[RABK]

Just watched the replay, happens in the 13th minute.

Carney on a kick return was met by Barrett who had his fist cocked and swung an arm with his wrist smashing carney in the face.

Can't believe everyone missed it, not even a penalty even though Carney stayed down. Scrum to the dragons it was.

I don't think it was striking, though the replay i have only has one normal play view of it, looks more like a swinging arm to the face.

Just because it was missed on the night doesnt mean it is beatable. If his fist was clenched then it wont help him

Obviously not RABK.........charged with grade 5 striking (alleged shoulder charge gone wrong-hit irish with forearm)
