NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 25 years without parole for Payne Haas

Kobe instead of Koula? Not very tempting.

Although I do feel like just Amone to Penisini has benefits.

- Average of 33 with no tries yet. I’m gonna say the 9 against the Storm is a blip.
- Eels should score a lot of points and at some point he should cash in with a huge game.
- Position seems pretty secure.
- If he can back up last week with a good score against the Titans this week then makes a bit of cash hopefully

Tuilagi or Walters?

Feel like Walters probably scores more and hits a higher $ value, but it’s going to be much bumpier and less secure ride to get there. Does that sound like a reasonable summary? Any divergent views?

Removing Leniu from the menu and 1 of those 2 will be bought and playing in 17 this week (or at least looping)

It’s that or play with 16? Or just do Amone to Penisini for the reasons above ^^

Not condoning racism in the slightest and yes what he said was bad.

But I reckon what was worse was the way they effectively gas lit the poor girl and made her out to be a liar after their "thorough investigation" in which they cleared him of any wrong doing, only for him to then admit it later.

Both the Roosters and Tedesco should have definitely copped more from the whole thing than they did.

Yep. He is a racist cunt and that sucks but the way he and the Roosters handled it was so, so disgusting.
NRL and clubs just protect their assets as best they can will use money and power to discredit anyone who gets in their way without really being held to account.

Honestly if you think you could spend the cash better elsewhere I’d get James Roberts. I think for 100k less you might get 0-10 pts less than Penis, but also that 100k could be the difference between a gun or having to make another punt on a midranger in future weeks.

I would get rid of Amone for sure, maybe take a punt on A Davey or D Moale, or you could bring in Koula, but I am now unsure of his role going forward after injury, it does appear they are trying to get him involved.

They don’t really help me with WFB/CTR this week

Wow all that fuss for the wham bam I told you so moment of 1-2 weeks suspension. Big deal.  

The bigger issue is consistency, Tedesco copped 0 weeks for being a racist for instance.  

Yes, using the terms "squid games" when you are on the drink and see an asian makes you a racist (as a one off as well mind you).

Tedesco probably would have been apart of Hitlers SS 80 years ago.

Pull your heads in idiots.

Haas should've just simply called himself a role model despite having no tangible evidence to back up that claim. Or maybe gaslit Kelly into thinking he was in the wrong before finally admitting fault 2 months later after it had all blown over. Or at least get the club to systematically deny any wrongdoing then fessing up to it. That's what role models do right?

I don't know how racist you need to be to try and justify calling an individual of Vienamese descent "squid games" (a Korean show) just for existing in a public space but I'm guessing the answer is quite racist

Correct.

Look reality is that is a very minor incident when you consider what shit gets said in the general public on a normal week to week basis. The way it was handled was poor from Teddy and the Roosters for sure. It's a one off incident, he seems like one of the better blokes in league to be quite honest.

Not saying what he did wasn't wrong

There is a big difference between an akward joke with a racial undertone and being an actual racist.

You both obviously know Teddy so well, you are qualified to make a judgement on whether he is a racist or not.

I'm also sure neither of you have ever made an akward remark about somebody of another race.

Get over it.

I'd be amazed if anyone here hasn't said something that could be deemed racist at some point in their life. Yeah he's a fucking idiot but the way it was handled was way worse than what was said.

It's not the fact he only for 2 weeks suspension. Pretty much every man and his dog on here were adamantly saying there's no way he will get suspended for it. Go back and read the roasting Matt got.

Just say racist joke. It was a racist joke. He made the joke because of the person's race.

New record for most users online a few weeks ago. Although if the 3:42am timestamp is correct I'd say it was mostly bots

What's average number of users on here through the waking hours?

A racist joke, implies the teller of the joke was trying to be racist.

Do you know if Teddy has predjudices against asians?  Does he hate them or think the are inferior to caucasians?


Honestly, this forum is incredibly infuriating when you all express these ridiculous idealogical positions which are full of logical fallacies. When it's not fantasy related, it would be great if it was just light banter. This doesn't feel like the place to debate philosophical positions. It's becoming more frequenent, perhaps because of the media.
