If Barnett gets 16 weeks that's a complete joke. Even considering they might want to make an example of him, that's overboard.

It was bad but it was not premeditated nor particularly forceful. I think it could be anywhere from 6 - 12 weeks.

Matty Johns on Sen this morning reckons 6 weeks but if he was Adam O’Brien he would give Barnett 10 weeks off for costing the side a chance of a 3 and 0 start to the season.

Got off fairly lightly. Prior offences and carry over points were wiped though.

I suspected it wouldn't be a huge suspension given the category he was charged in and the new suspension/grading system.

I'm pretty happy with that considering it's on the low end of the range I was expecting.

Jirah and Jones will have to step up big time here.

Can’t complain about that at all- was honestly expecting 10 weeks with the judiciary’s love for our club.

During this difficult time I just want us all to spare a thought for certain poor fellows from Canberra whose only real joy in life is seeing our club get punished. Would you all please join me for a minute’s world’s smallest violin playing session for those who have the misfortune of living near Fyshwick, Tuggeranong and Queanbeyan and were hoping Mitch would have gotten 16 weeks at no pay. Our hearts go out to them.

6 weeks for reckless dangerous tackle mate.
How do you like them apples?

I think @God-King Dean is feeling a bit sourdough right now. 6 weeks is going to get a rise out of Deano.

His loafing of Mitch probably stems from the fact he had the Knights to win in his SportsBet Multi-grain and Mitch ruined it for him. His plan to make some money went a rye.
