Walsh was arguing at Thurston & Gallen levels and needs a spell to cool his jets. Should have been sent to the bin.
IMO calling a ref a cheat is worse than calling them a c***. I mean, f**k, I would rather be called a c*** than a 'champ'.
Thurston didn't face time for calling a ref a cheat and knife-handing him in the chest. I think Walsh will end up with a 3 game ban like Brandon Smith got for calling a ref a 'cheating bastard'.
Butler is incompetent for not sending him - but maybe Butler had his doubts that it was directed at him. It could have been directed at Fifita for the head tap and maybe we wouldn't be talking about it if it weren't for the mic picking it up.
Anyway, I think 2-3 weeks will do him good and knock the whinging out of him, hopefully. Pretty big week for a 20 year old that's being celebrated a bit too much.
