MARSH:I hit Barret in the chest

[El Diablo]

clearly :lol:

could you get a grainier picture?

 

[shadow grinder]

all these dragons fans agree'ing with what barret did...tisk tisk...you people should hang your head in shame!

 

[NPK]

here is the point of contact. the right forearm clearly connects with the chin.

The first contact was with Barrett's arm.

And no, he did not clearly hit his chin. He may have, but that photo does not show it conclusively.

 

[El Diablo]

Okay since you have taken me incorrectly... Marsh's elbow -clearly- hits the point of Barret's chin. I don't care how Hard it hit, but it definitely did. As for being knocked out, what a load of sh*t. You don't need to get knocked out for it to have connected.

given the pace he was going if he hit him "flush" on the chin with an elbow or forearm he WOULD'VE been knocked out.

I'm not disputing that Barret acted like a cat, just pointing out that Marsh did hit him high, on purpose or not.
Barret looks like the devil himself in his reaction stills... could you get a more twisted in rage expression. What an angry bastard.

not necessarily. just because he copped a hit to the chin, doesnt mean he'd have been knocked out. obviously he wasnt. at the end of the day, like i have said over and over again, barrett reacted upon circumstance. he felt contact with the chin, and wasnt happy at all.

Wake up to your skeepe you sook

How is Marsh 'tackling' style different from what Hoppa did?

Neither will get suspended

Evereyone can sit there & be keyboard heroes all they want

LOL, & I bet if it were the other way around people will still put the blame on Barrett, ebing a glorified pretty boy & all

If you disagree, please explain to me the difference between hitting a guy in the head while he's not looking, which is what Williams did, and hitting a guy in the head while he's not looking, which is what Barrett did.

There is no difference. It's indefensible.

 

[hitman82]

The top photo looks pretty conclusive to me.
Okay, my bad terminology. He may have only glanced the chin. Either way, he hit it.

 

[Kelly Patrol]

The Temora product deserves 10 weeks for his act of cowardice.Punching someone from behind is never acceptable.

Gee those Stgeorge supporters can whinge much like idiot Manly supporters.

and that is what barrett reacted upon.

I never defended it. But I find it amusing that you see it as Danny Williams, when Hopeate came in nearly the same way Hopoate did, yet there no mention of that

huh :?

 

[God-King Dean]

Correction: Marsh came in nearly the same way Hoppa did

 

[choc_soldier]

I will merely echo what has already been said countless times in this forum about the incident...

BARRETT IS A CAT!

 

[Southernsaint]

What a bunch of sooks...

 

[Saint 60]

Just said in a post-game interview, said that he won't hold a grudge on Barret, and "Thats Footy"


Look how good he handled this


Barret on the other hand said he wont say he'l regret what he did

Gee, I wonder what I'd do if someone came sprinting at me with the forearms, hitting me on the chin?

Hmm

Barrett was pissed off from kick off.

PJ Marsh obviously went to charge down the kick. You can look at it if he was there half a second earlier, he would have successfully charged it down as he would have made contact with the ball.

Marsh didn't go high at all. And if Barrett had any brains he would have stayed on the floor, milked the penalty for St George and instead got momentum for St George. Instead, he gets up and king hits Marsh from behind. Look I've got a lot of time for Dragons fans and I say it frequently that they are more knowledgable in the league but the way Barrett carried on was just rediculous.

But as both players involved have said, this sort of thing happens and you just leave it on the field. Besides Barrett was booed everytime he touched the ball and at one point in the game there was a very loud "Barretts a wanker" chant going.

 

[God-King Dean]

Dry your eyes princess. Look at the pics, you clearly see his fist hit his chin. Or was it neuro defect that his head snaped back?

Don't go blind from your support
