NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 65 - Phoned in thread title

922 and dropped 4 ranks to 33, could have been much worse with Teddy and Ponga's scores in the mix

Early thoughts are Turpin out to Simpkin if he is out next week

It was audible on the fox coverage.
He called the ref a cunt.
No idea why he wasn’t sent off.

JDB update will probably knock me down, tie me up and do despicable things, but up to 988th for now Only cracked yafss once after Rd 12, but as usual I'm shit at byes and been trying to claw back since. If not this week, hopefully next with only Hopgood and Hands on the bye. 3 trades and $350k to navigate to Rd 19.

Its a pity that Origin will count for his time on the sideline.

DPP's to the likes of Horse, NAS would be useful post rd 20

Unlucky Pookus, I thought you had me. You might still get me in updates. JDB has 4 points to add.

Complete rocks (Walsh, Ponga, Bird, Tohu, Robson) and diamonds (NAS, Horse, SJ, Hopgood)

Same score, also from 17..

What did Cheese get for calling the ref a cheat? Was it two games? Is cunt worse than cheat? I just don't know any more.

NAS should get it (if the powers that be realise he is also playing edge even when named in mid). Horse, no.

for whatever it's worth, the argument has been made by Reynolds and Walsh on insta that it was directed at a Titan, not the ref.

1004 up 3300 odd ranks

I got a sneaking suspicion that matt will think its much much worse, even ifwhen it is shown that walsh wasnt actually talking to the ref

I would settle on a draw and a gentleman’s handshake for a round well played

In terms of fantasy, 939 for the round with only 16 - Current rank 828.

5 trades and 150k left to have a play with with, hopefully can make a charge.

Well done to all.

Congrats mate

Great position as well for the side, the charge will be magnificent

Hmm, im stuck in the 600s... Ranked 623, 610, 661* for the last three weeks

*or wherever it will be after lockout ends

would think cheat would be the bigger charge personally, in the context of professional sports, taking a shot at an official's integrity is a much worse look than a bit of disrespect.

BSmith a bit worse I reckon. Probably just a fine and apology for Walsh, especially if it's unclear who he directed it at. Would like to see him get a week though

Doubt Horse gets it, NAS definitely should, attacks on the EDG even when named at MID.

Your honor, I present, 'the ref is reece's good friend' defense
