Clear red Barnes has bottled it

Not the first time he's done so in this tournament when looking at a dodgy tackle

[No Quarter]

Tip tackle landed on his head = red. Why didn't he refer that??

[Toddy]

Only reason it wasn't his head is because he stuck his arm out. Clear red there

[Nepia]

Barnes went a bit hysterical when he ran in there, it didn't look like the players were going to kick off.

[Stargazer]

He landed on upper arm/shoulder (first contact with the ground). That's yellow. Landing on head/neck area is red.

Thompson did

[Rembrandt]

Extremely surprised he didnt review that. Thought that was a red for all money.

[ACT Crusader]

I like that Barnes didn’t waste 20 minutes reviewing but in that circumstance he should’ve had a check.

[Chris]

Gutless by Barnes should have been Red

No review!?

[No Quarter]

Christ SA dodged a bloody missile there

Elbow out gives the officials an out.

Beast basically ran off the pitch in gratitude

Disagree, head made contact at the same time. Didn't even review it, what a shocker.

[canefan]

I wonder if he gets cited after the match. Dangerous

[ACT Crusader]

Wow. Big collision. Leitchy a touch lucky aye

[Tim]

Penalty against Leitch?

[Siam]

Anyone remember all the red cards in pool play? Yeah

[Rembrandt]

You'd think a review with a crowd reaction would be difficult to not make it a red. Barnes saved himself a lot of grief.

[sparky]

Slow Motion footage of the incident that led to the yellow card. Can't believe Barnes didn't at least review it:
