Player Mitch Barnett

[Classicrockdave]

What's up with his son?

Ever heard of the Privacy Act 2020!!!!

Gutting news from the big man, but he's brought so much to the club and given it his all. Hard to ask for more.

Haven't seen this posted. Not in this thread, which looks to be the best spot.

Will Bennett be focused this season. Would rather trade him for a good player from Australia or England

I think he’d be different to AFB, but it feels like a similar situation where AFB was released with an ill family member, but stuck around for the 2024 season anyway. You’d think that Barnett would want to get to the place that’s best for his child’s health pronto? Is this where the player offered from another team comes into consideration for us to release him this year?

I would say so, the player swap would be for this year.

In terms of leaving asap i think his son is with him now so the support is there its more the help from the extended family and them seeing him that prompts the move. Unless its some weird medical procedure surely Auckland would have the ability to treat

Fells like "Here we go again" but family always comes first...
For his credit anyway, he really matured with us... first gig @ SOO and Roos ... and obviously a great team captain ... Be sad to lose him

Off to the Broncos officially on a 3 year deal, richly deserved and best of luck.

No talk of a replacement unless released early.

Feel given Mitch's injuries, age that it might work in our favour?

I think they'll be hoping to get out of Barney, what we got out of JFH.

A veteran who amps up the forward line and provides a good role model for developing front rowers.
