Because he could have said sit this one out, we are going well, its a busy schedule for you barney.
Come back for the sharks game and go again.
You are right, he was good to go, im just saying they could have given him the game off.
I get it, you want your best on the park all times. I just think with the position the club is in, they could have taken the cautious route.
I will also Caveat that my opinion is all in hindsight.
Ahh the wisdom of hindsight strikes again.
He asked to play, he is the Skipper, he plays.
He asked to play, he is the Skipper, he plays.
There it is, typed at the same time.
It's alright. We're all gutted that it happened.
How do you predict those injuries bro?
By waiting till the injury happens and then having an opinion on it!
We have two byes in quick succession coming up. It would be extremely rare if a player was 'rested' prior to that. And i dont understand the point that just because he didnt play many mins that 'we didnt need him'. Who is to say his replacement didnt leave a gaping hole or dropped the ball in the initial mins that handed Raiders points/ascendency which could have led to a different result. We only won by 6 points.
Awesome that's why these places are great to vent our frustrations eh all the what ifs,By waiting till the injury happens and then having an opinion on it!
At the end of the day I guess Barnett wanted to play it is such a devastating injury though.
I think the answer from most people is still going to be no. Really this doesn't have anything to do with Webby, as I would almost guarentee that if Barney wanted the week off, it would have been given to him.
Sadly, just one of those freak happenings with no one to blame.
Although, I did see them mention on Levels podcast, that Barney shifted himself to prevent injuring an opposition player and did his ACL that way. Not sure how true that is, but really annoying if it's the case.

never mind guys..it is what it is...i've still got a positive vibe about how we'll go ATM..LOL
Disagree completely. Yes we did need Barnett to play - the vast majority of other SOO players also backed up.
And certainly Mitch would have been jumping out of his skin to get out there.
Watch the incident again, Webster wasn't actually on the field. Pretty sure you'll find it was the collision.
We were coming off a loss against the Raiders, it was a statement game.
Damn I should have read the rest of the posts
Yeah I don't see how he wouldn't play so no issue with that
Are we all completely sure fatigue had zero impact? I get it that done things like muscle strains are overtly more fatigue linked but if your muscles are knackered then maybe it's harder/ less likely you can brace yourself in collision?
A part of me just can't completely rule out that a battered and tired body / mind makes for an increased chance of these things

Potentially was a factor but that’s sport.
Do we start sitting out players if we have a 5 day turnaround game? After long flights? Towards the end of the season?
If a player is injured early in a game and your asking another player to play long extra minutes it’s probably a worse fatigue and injury risk than what Barnett was asked to do.
