2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 22

Im backing the refs. They were all penalties. (Maybe a few 50-50s, thats footy). Storms discipline was woeful. Their gameplan was based around exploiting the refs. That seems over.

Fuck off Fatty and Gus

"all the fans I've spoken to and all the texts I've got"

Piss off, you haven't been talking to fans and checking 1000 texts in the last 10mins.

Fuck off. I'm with SI on this. The players and coaches need to figure out what the refs are doing, its not hard. The players (Luke Lewis so far) and the Ch9 commentators clearly have an agenda against what the refs are doing because of course, they are on the players side.

Watch the last 5 minutes again mate.  Bellamy needs to have a go at himself and his players, no one else.  I'm actually being serious, watch the last 5 minutes again in the context that the Storm are down by 2 tries and there have already been 30 penalties blown and a Strom player sin binned for back chat and multiple other players penalised for back chat (not just Storm).

Is it the Refs fault or is it the players fault?  The Refs are following the rules.  The players are not.

Fair call standard. I'm having a whinge cause ive had a few and a prickly piece of shit sometimes.

What my issue is with so many penalties even though yes the players are at fault to me a penalty takes up way too much time. If they come up with something better that takes up less time like they tried in the all stars game a few years ago when they just reset the tackle count instantly instead of kicking to touch. Then i'll be ok with so many penalties

I'm a simple man I want to see tries not players standing around while someone kicks

No way he and the Storm play that bad again

If i didnt have other players i had to sort i probably would've sold him. Im gonna hold too

This has been a terrible day for fantasy scores, but with 30 my lowest score and a captain score of 49 I am probably doing pretty well

If you assume Smith will eventually come good,  how much money would you want to make from Friend/Macca to justify the 2 trades

Not just the trades, its the points, including a full round he misses from Origin

The problem is that some people watching this shit right now will lap up what these cunts are saying.

Gus and the Channel 9 guys can fuck off.

Sick of them do nothing but bag the ref's and the game every single week. Sooner they piss off and stop trying to run the game the better

Anyone know how long Kennar is out? got no backup so hopefully he's back next week

If you assume he comes good, and that when he does come good you want to trade him back in whilst still cheap, then odds are good that will happen before origin.

And what will his BE be?

What better example to set than binning Smith. Awesome stuff.

So why wasn't multiple people binned in the first game today?? Worse stuff than happened tonight?

So you are still saying the Refs are getting it wrong? If the players FOLLOWED THE FUCKING RULES the refs wouldn't have to make those decisions and subsequently get blamed REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY DO.

Sorry mate, but deadest, come on.

I heard it was a minor strain and should be back next week or week after

Agree. Its a good strategy

Yep I'll be considering this

might have to give up your 'softcock' badge at this rate, i don't think i've seen you use that many capital letters in total, let alone over the course of 2 hours i'm all aboard though, fancy blaming the blokes enforcing rules, instead of the ones breaking them

Ok thanks mate sick of trading injured players. Hayne, Watson, Katoa and Papalii but I kept him

Even I yielded and back tracked on what I was saying when I saw his post.. Its like pissing off dad takes ages and ages but scary when it happens
