Henry, who captained the Magpies in their Ron Massey Cup grand final win over St Mary’s last year, was charged with grade one contrary conduct. The 30-year-old accepted the early guilty plea and the one-match ban that will go with it. Had he not had previous carryover points, he wouldn't have missed a single game.
Commentators Jamie Soward and Shaun Timmins were initially unsure why the 30-year-old half was given his marching orders, believing it was punishment for backchat.“Beau Henry, some ill discipline. Not what you want when your side is under the pump at this time of the game,” Timmins said in commentary. "Is it 10 [in the sin bin] or is it the blood bin?”
“That sort of behaviour is unacceptable at any time, but was dealt with in accordance with the rules,” said NSWRL CEO David Trodden. "The NSWRL have worked really hard to get the footy back on … so they would be very disappointed," he said.
