The Bulldogs dodged a bullet with two head-high tackles escaping punishment during the game, leaving fans in an uproar.
Stephen Crichton is facing a one-game ban for his questionable shoulder hit on Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, sparking controversy in the NRL.
The inconsistent officiating has drawn criticism, especially after Manly's Haumole Olakau'atu was sin-binned for a similar incident in a recent game.
Tuivasa-Sheck's absence from the game due to concussion protocol left the Warriors feeling cheated, while Barnett's post-match image with a cut from a head-high shot added fuel to the fire.
Despite the outcry, Crichton can appeal the ban but risks facing a two-match suspension if unsuccessful.
The Bulldogs may have escaped major consequences, but the contentious decisions have left a sour taste in the mouth of NRL fans.
