So Thompson denies saying what he very cleary said on camera.
"I don't think I would've said that". Pretty pathetic.

The fact that nothing has or will come of this says to me that the players are totally fine with that kind of language being thrown about.

Not good enough from Thompson and not good enough from the NRL.

I was thinking I might go and.. do something.. this weekend.

Calm down mate, none of us want a cardiac.

[I am basing this off Lomax having a 35 average at FB.]
If I were to trade Lomax to Havili I would need to spending 27K so Havili would need to make 27K more than Lomax by the time I trade them out (Havili would be in R16 and Lomax would be in R17). Base on my calculations, Lomax with an average of 35 would make roughly 140K by R17. As it costs me 27K to get Havili, he would need to make 167K by R16 to make the trade valid. To make 167K Havili would need to average somewhere between 49 and 52 I think. Ideally I would obviously want Havili to make more than par as everyone wants a profit so I would want Havili to average more than 52. Bear in mind this is also only accounting for Lomax’s one game at FB with a 35. Against the dogs he could post a big score, making his money growth potential greater. Havili probably has at least till R15 so a guaranteed 4 weeks, Lomax could be back to CTR/Wing next week. Then there are also the points I would be getting from Havili for R12, who would then become a R16 player, which would add to that.
Pretty much;
Havili
45 x 4 = 180 (traded out in R16)
+ 150K
+ whatever R16 player he becomes
- 27K
- 1 trade
VERSUS
Lomax
35 x 4 (traded out in R17) = 140
+ 140K
+27K
+ 1 trade
It is super tight but I think Havili wins that battle as I would get a R12 and 16 player and probably higher possibility of a bigger average, meaning more cash gain?

Strange quotes in that article, but maybe they are being taken out of context. He tweeted after the game that he said "faker". Not sure why he wouldn't stick to this, even if it wasn't true.

Out of curiosity, I re-watched the replay a number of times, at the time, and its really hard to tell, with a mouthguard in.

Yeah saw the response tweet days ago. Don't know the circumstances but calling someone a faker for milking a penalty or such is not hard to believe. I'm vehemently against Folau's homophobic muppetry and also unjustified witchhunts

If you think they will make the same amount of cash why would you burn a trade....

With Havili I would get a R12 and a R16 player so that is a potential extra 80+ points?

Read the post you quoted? lol

So he is being charged. You guys are quick to throw away the key. (and yeah yeah, it doesnt look good). But just take it easy on being the executioner. Surely we are civilized enough to wait for judgement.

So now you’re a lip reader as well as the ruler of all things LBGTP and virtuous here.

In my opinion, I don’t care what he fucking said. Couldn’t care less. It’s a tough game, you’ve obviously never played. What happens on the field stays on the field. I’m sick of this virtue signalling shit for 1 % of the population. Harden the fuck up.

What are you lads thinking about doing with 18th man?

Looking at my trusty old spreadsheet, I have almost enough cash to afford my final team plus Burns as 18th man (gives WFB/CTR and HLF cover - through Ponga).

If I pull the trigger and trade Lomax and Xerri this week chasing points it'll halt my cash generation pretty significantly. Especially since I'm not leaning towards Havili. Will need late/r16 cows to find another 500k for a good 18th man (pushing Burns to 19th).

What round are you expecting to run out of trades. If you are looking at rd 20ish i'd prefer to carry a good 18th man with Burns 19th

Lomax has hit 35 once all season and im pretty sure while named at FB he didnt stay there the whole game (i cant remember seeing a FB make 24 tackles before). Id be aware that Lafai got injured and most likely means Lomax back to centre with Dufty recalled

I can't find a way to get Bateman in for this round if he ends up playing without trading out another keeper or round 12 player.
I'll be trading Rein to Bateman after this round

Bateman might have to wear a protective mask

I think it's pretty funny too. I admit I use inappropriate language all the time, especially in the workplace haha. Sometimes words are just words. I've never played the game but if I speak the way I do in the workplace, the footy field with 25 other blokes on the field, it would be fucking on in the way of obscene language.

How many times do we hear swearing over the refs mic's during a game? I admit racist slurs are a no go, but the likes of what Thompson was saying is never used in the context that the word actually means, it's just a word. If someone wants to be homophobic towards someone, one would know about it. This was just slagging on the field, nothing more.

Just because he was caught on camera to what seemes to be what is said via lip reading, pfft. If the camera didn't pan on him during that time, nothing would come of it. Move on, it's pathetic IMO.

I'm not sold on Lomax to Havilli as i was thinking the same thing. But mary can't keep going back to Dufty. It's proven he's not a fit. If Lomax is in the future plans, he has to stick with him.

I'm more wary of Norman coming back and playing FB, or moving Field back there.

Gee wiz it was Sele to hold Silly all this time.

Just noticed I have no Worriers players in my team. And that makes me Happy.
