He’s off contract then. How much do you pay for a 33 yr old prop coming back from an ACL?

Now we have another reason to win big this year. We play for Mitch.
That could go one of two ways. Either the boys use this as motivation or the gap left by Mitch is too big and it affects them.
Devastated man 
Rapidly pivoting here....
Ok....truth is we were never much of a chance of winning the competition this year.
Our realistic best case scenario would have seen us go deep into the finals then get smashed as soon as we ran into the like of the Storm or Panthers reloaded or having to beat one too many of say a Raiders and Sharks finals draw back to back.... you feel me....
So this need not derail the best case scenario for this year at all.
Think about it, the team consolidates from here, keeps doing what it has been doing which is basically sharing the work load and being honest toilers.
Big challenges ahead now but hey lets be brutally honest....what do we have to lose?

Yeah I agree with you. At most with Barney we had a slim chance to potentially upset one of the other T4 teams on their bad days but it’s clear as rain the difference in talent and firepower between us and let’s say the Dogs or Storm and even panthers. I think this all but ends our premiership chances this year, but hopefully we continue to build on what we have going this year and retool for next year. Barney might not even play next year and have him rested for 2027.
Going to be tough. With all due respect I don’t think that hole left by Barney in replaceable.
Injury blow: Warriors' Barnett sidelined for rest of NRL season
He ruptured his ACL during the Warriors' win against South Sydney.
If we're doing that, I think his NRL days are done and - if he'd want to do this - his future is NSW Cup/NRL Injury Cover...
Poor bastard. That sucks on so many levels.Yep.
Minimum 6 months out.
Then rehab for ages.
Then a test of the ACL which apparantly 90%+ of players fail (I recall Nathaniel Roache talking about this test, not sure if failure is a good sign or bad sign for the ACL's future, actually!) so that makes rehab a month longer.
So it's No Mitch Which Is A Bitch until at best Pre-Season 2026 Part 1 ie November...
All the above coming from someone who's never had/treated that kind of injury, just going from what I've read/heard, talk to a specialist before taking anything as The Truth...
Wow, Luke Covell. Played for the sardines as I recall, on the wing?
The Undertaker posted it before... "We play for Mitch." I like this
He played similar to Steve Price, a Leader of Men leading by example. It's a fu(k^n Hard life Rugby League and I/We wish 'em All The Very VERY Best!Rehab ASAP Barney, we're climbing to #2.
All Arms, you're up.
All Arms Marata.
Fuucckk I'm so devastated for him I can't even imagine the way he feels right now
Recover well MB. Devastated for you and the team.
Reality is that we've had 22 mins of all first team players available for selection this season which now cannot change. Crazy to think of it that way.
