NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 66 - So I says to Patty, I says "F*** you C***"

Mexicana is definitely very good, eaten by itself.  For nachos though,  I prefer to let the other ingredients be the hero.  Plain/original corn chips with taco mince and/or refried beans, salasa and cheese.  Mmmmm.

I have two trades left & Currently considering:

Lem > IPap
Walsh > CNK

Trading Lem means playing VTW in the centres (OK)

Not trading Walsh means playing Billy Smith in the centres (not OK)

Also not keen to roll with no trades next round

What would the NRLFF Fantasy Gurus do in my position?

Team this week:

Cook
Haas Harris Horse
Fifita Bateman
Hynes SJ
Manu Null
Ponga Drinky Bula

Grant Cogger NAS Simpkin

Teddy Koula Hoppy Matto

No trades this week (2 left).  Need to figure out a loop,  but feeling lazy.

Dylan Brown should be back soon

Because i'm an inner city middle class wanker (& I hate mince due to 80's boarding school mass catering), I usually cook and freeze a simple bean concoction to use in nachos.

Canned tommy's, canned kidney beans, red onion, chilli, cumin, coriander, pimento, olive oil. Takes fuck all time and tastes heaps better than canned salsa.

Definitely plain corn chips though.

Final centre position is going to come down to Val, Gagai or Penis (Manu the other centre).
Good luck deciding between those 3..

Better fucking not be, pleading guilty to sexual assault and receiving a slap on the wrist from all parties would be a hell of a choice been made all around, if he’s sighted in a Parra jersey this year then he got off way too easy.

Weeks when you aren’t making any trades aren’t as much fun!

Interested in Jayden Campbell if he can lose that bench utility role

That's when you try to sabotage other teams by helping them make trades.

I reckon Blore, Simpkin, VTW, Piakura, Nanai and DJ Khaled are all gun trade-ins this week.

December can’t come quick enough

My favourite part is tinkering with unlimited trades before R1

How many times each season does somebody "win a spot" on merit, and then get dropped anyway a month later (or in the case of Jed Cartwright, dropped before they've even had their first start)

Not saying that will or won't happen to Blore, but its not something I'd rule out with certainty

Well it's not sexual assault, its a watered down charge called "Sexual touching" its less severe. That's the whole point of it.

He touched a girls boobs twice at a club. I think everyone should get over it personally. Yes not ideal but we arent taking about a rape. Give him a fine, a month or two off and everyone learns from the experience.

How many of you would ask for a female NRL players career to be cut short for touching your junk on a dance floor of a club?

Hope you can all respond as passionately.

Boobs

@lukeayee You should probably delete that m8. Any sort of unwanted touching is a shit act

Sexual touching is the legal name they gave the charge to seperate it from the more serious/violent crimes, touching some-one sexually without their consent stills equals sexual assault.

As for your stupid equivalence argument in the later post - yes, if an NRLW player were charged with a sexual offence, she can have a long stint on the sidelines too.

Why would I delete it?

I didn't say it wasnt a shit act.

I said it's not a career ending act. Its a big fine and a few months off.

Obviously a lot of you have lead lives where no lines have ever been crossed.

I for one am very thankful that my mistakes haven't cost me my career and life.

We are all human. Let's put what he did into proper context. In most cases, sexual touching doesn't even result in a criminal convicition. It can range from a touch of the boobs, to a slow touch down the arm. It's designed to capture more but be less severe then an assault charge.

This has all be blown way out of proportion IMO. That's all im saying.

Everyone wants to convict everyone these days and pass judgement, nobody wants to defend and give people the benefit of the doubt.

Tried to write something as a father and got way too riled up. 

Keep ya hands off, unless invited. Even then I’m not happy with it
