NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 25 years without parole for Payne Haas

[quote="lukeayee"]

You’ve pretty much just defined what casual racism is.

All this talk of squid game and I am craving a crunchie now
#makehoneycombgreatagain

Posting my team for advice. Not sure which direction to go from here. Maybe another perspective will help out.

Randall
IPap Ming Mann
Wilton Fifita
Schneider Sexton
Tago Burton
Papi Crichton Hynes

Starling Nanai Jones Tuilagi
Leo Amone Penisini Coates
205k Itb

Thinking of doing 1 trade Amone to Walters or May but need Cleary in ASAP now that Haas is on the backburner.

To get Cleary in this week I could go Sexton to May, Fifi to Cleary but then Amone would have to stay and probably lose 50k...

Any advice would be appreciated

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.

Interesting take on the whole thing. When one is willing to make these comments towards another in public, then there's usually a pattern of behaviour.

Drinking alcohol is not a defence btw, love when that trope is rolled out though.

Do you know him quite well then? Genuinely interested since you're borderline implying you know him better than the above guys?

This and then the following investigation and treatment of the victim in this situation was classic from a person/organisation in power towards a person with little to no power.

So yes it is disgusting and yes they should have been punished more severely than they were.

Good to see that Lukeayee agrees with everyone else.

But as Squid James is such a role model, it is totally appropriate for the Roosters to pretend nothing happened until they were forced to.

Its been said before but, it wasn't that bad and if they'd just apologised and moved on it would be forgotten by now. But they made the situation much worse by trying to cover it up and getting found out.

Hass "probably" won't miss this week, so he's still probably the pick for Captain sans Cleary. VC probably becomes pretty important (I had it on Randall just because he plays first) just in case. I've got the following options:

Pappy - Coming off a ton, could Mbye it.
Hynes - Plays Sunday, could get hit by a bus before then
Randall - Plays first (good), uninspiring (bad)
Fifita - Can't do nothing 5 weeks in a row right? right???

Have you got Cleary mate? My fingers are twitchy..... might get him still. Would leave EMG’s of Leo, Ilias, Koula and Billy Smith though.

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

Teddy was my favourite player. Now when I see him the word 'racist' immediately pops into mind and a feeling of disappointment.

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?

Walters scored 55 with no Arey. He played 59 mins half against Warriors for 14pts. I think he's probably going to go backwards soon enough

Fuck I wish mate. Can't fit him in this week as I'm getting Dyl Brown in but if Fifi keeps up this form he will be gone for Cleary either next week or the week after.

I don't see nothing wrong with those emergencies mate, Koula just out this week cause of short turnaround so you should have 3 green dots there.

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.

Haas needs to get himself to the Roosters ASAP. Teddy can teach him to be a role model, father, or whatever shit excuse they came up with! OJ’s lawyer would have been proud of that argument. Apparently you can be as racist as you like, just don’t pretend to hump a small dog or piss into your own mouth.

I don't know him, which is why im not prepared to persecute him over whats been described.

I have said things to friends of different races which under the same microscope would label me a racist. Yet these are people I would sacrifice a great deal for and them for me.

Just a few days ago, WL used the term "Abo" here. Is he now a racist? The answer is, I don't know. I don't know truthfully if any of you are. The same goes for Teddy, you are all so quick to judge him and i guarantee none of you actually know him. He could have an asian girlfriend for all we know. Would any of you judge him then? Point is none of you actually have any clue what you are talking about, but want to bang on about it and others over and over again like you are free from judgement.

STFU im so sick of hearing about it and all the other judgement passed down on NRL players for menial acts.

Focus on stuff that actually matters.

My last post because ironically all im doing now is perpetuating it.

if Vailea stays in the 19 that's going to be really annoying. Hopefully he's completely out or named to start, none of this in-the-middle rubbish!

Anyone thinking of playing Coates against the dogs or Ilias against the Dragons?

When you make an unprovoked, racist comment to a random Asian girl walking in the opposite direction, you’re a racist.

Luke’s take on this whole thing is quite funny. You can tell he lived a privileged life growing up in the eastern burbs

Just calculated DylBro base stats last 3(tackles-MT + run and kick metres - errs and pens) = 40pts. Fifi total score avg last 3 = 44. Can't really look past this trade

Yeah I got loyalty to him after he won me my h2h grand final last year when I captained him and he got like 88 points was fucken legendary.

But yeah nah just gotta move on with it aye, all nrl players have done dumb shit and I'm sure Teddy is remorseful for it, more on the minor scale in my personal opinion but ah well.

Community trade poll still not conclusive

If you haven't voted, please go and have a say now

Will put up the captaincy poll shortly, but trying to get a definitive view on potential trades/no trades this week.

https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t1926-rd-5-trades-part-2

With Koula off the cards for this week now should I
TU:Fifita to Cleary
TD: Hold trades

Apologies for going off topic...

I'm sorry, are you passing judgement about me and people in the Eastern Suburbs?
