Warriors' Mitch Barnett ruled out for rest of season with ACL rupture
NZ Warriors co-captain Mitch Barnett has been ruled out for the rest of the season after it was confirmed he ruptured his ACL during Sunday's victory over the Rabbitohs. Scans revealed today he had ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee early in the 36-30 win over South Sydney at Accor Stadium. The injury occurred when Barnett was involved in a tackle with teammate Chanel Harris-Tavita on South Sydney's Jayden Sullivan during the first half. He fell awkwardly while making a tackle and his right leg buckled beneath him. The Warriors' co-captain tore his right ACL during the team's victory over the Rabbitohs on Sunsday. (Source: Supplied) ADVERTISEMENT Barrett would meet specialists in the coming days to determine a timeline for surgery. In a post to Instagram, the NRL franchise said: "Thoughts go out to Barney and his family at this time, but we all know skip will be back soon and better than ever." Confirmation of the season-ending injury will come as a blow to the Warriors, as well as the New South Wales State of Origin team. The Warriors are next in action on Saturday against the Cronulla Sharks.

Photo: NRL Photos/Photosport NZ Warriors co-captain Mitch Barnett will miss the remainder of the NRL season, after suffering a knee injury in their win over South Sydney Rabbitohs on Sunday. Barnett left the field about halfway through the first half, after falling awkwardly making a tackle, as his right leg buckled underneath him. He tried to hobble back into position, but left the field soon after and never returned. Scans on Monday confirmed he had ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and would be sidelined for the remainder of their 2025 campaign. The injury will also rule him out of the State of Origin series, after he was one of the stars of New South Wales victory over Queensland in the opener last Wednesday. More to come...

NSW Blues and Warriors rocked by major blow as Mitchell Barnett suffers knee injury
NSW coach Laurie Daley will be sweating on the fitness of Mitchell Barnett after the enforcer was forced from the field with what appeared to be a serious knee injury during the Warriors' 36-30 win over South Sydney at Accor Stadium on Sunday. The 31-year-old's knee appeared to collapse inward as he attempted to tackle Rabbitohs halfback Bud Sullivan midway through the first half.

After being helped from the field by two trainers, the Blues enforcer went straight up the tunnel and was later seen on crutches in the dressing rooms. While confirming that Barnett had hurt his knee, Warriors coach Andrew Webster claimed he didn't know the extent of the injury. 'He's definitely done a knee injury of some description,' Webster said post-match. 'We're waiting for scans… we honestly don't know what it is right now. 'There are different grades to each different injury and until you look under the hood, you honestly don't know.' Barnett's absence would be a horror blow to a Blues side looking to wrap up their second-straight Origin series at Perth's Optus Stadium on June 18. In the Blues' 18-6 win over Queensland in Origin 1 last week, in just over 40 minutes, Barnett ran for 110 metres and made 26 tackles. However, if Barnett is to be ruled out of Origin 2, Souths' Keon Koloamatagi couldn't have done more to put his hand up to replace the Warriors star. Despite being in the losing side, the Bunnies forward couldn't have done more, scoring one try, running for a whopping 197m, made 8 tackle breaks and 39 tackles.
