Barrett has until today to decide whether to accept a two-match ban for a grade one-reckless high tackle or risk a three-game suspension, which would include Origin III, by challenging the charge.
This means if he goes the early plea he wont play again till Origin III if selected, or if he fights the charge and loses he will be out of Origin III , either way I cant see him making game 3 selection now unless he fights the charge and wins.
I watched the game from half way up high
Gallen was crap
Benny Creagh was heavily marked and perhaps took a look a couple of time especially the knock-on that was potentially a try
Barrett’s passing was superb and his kicking pretty good too. He played with heart and unfortunately without his head when he belted Inglis
Did you notice that Gidley BTW was pushed off exactly the same was as Sowie in rd 1 when Inglis scored.
Stewart wasn’t that bad and I’d have him again at lock instead of Gallen
Watmough was really good. I hate the guy and put him from the same stable as Bird, Boyd, Gallen and Co but he played outstanding footy last night and deserved his spot
Laurie Daley couldn’t pick his nose and therein lies the problem with the Blues
Bellamy has NFI and should walk away
Barrett should play in O3. If for no other reason than to watch the toady fans drown in their own enraged spittle when he takes the field
JMoz and Astro could have had a quiet beer on the sidelines and has as much impact on the game
Weyman and Poore should have been on the field together as they really work together as a team
