From The Couch: Finals Week 2
Disgrace: How Tony Archer and Todd Greenberg did not resign immediately after firing Matt Cecchin for the outlandish decision to award Kane Evans a try last week does not surprise but it does disgust. These two are a cancer on the game, rotting the game away from the inside with their incompetency, incapability and inability […]
From The Couch: Round 26
Brown A Bad Decision: The Newcastle Knights had the opportunity to think wide. They had the chance for some blue square thinking. They had an opportunity to break free of the rut that has hampered them for a decade when looking for a new coach. But rather than chase a big name, bring in a […]
2015 Willie M Medal: Round 25
2015 Willie M Medal: Round 25 With a round to play the Willie M Medal is still up for grabs but the Willie M Rookie of the Year has been well and truly secured by the hopelessly inept Waqa Blake, who has shown the heart of a split pea and the nous of a brick […]
The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 20
With six weeks to play, we are set for another ripping finale with Tyrone Roberts moving to within two points of leader Mitchell Moses. Roberts missed eight tackles and failed to run the ball once in an insipid worst-on performance against the Bunnies that would see him dumped if it weren’t for Jarrod Mullen’s season-ending […]
The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 19
It is incredible the lengths Chris Sandow will go to avoid a third Willie M Medal. To not try … wow.
From The Couch: Round 19
Chris Sandow Is An Embarrassment to Rugby League: In all my years watching top grade Rugby League, never once have I heard a coach intimate one of his players wasn’t trying and had faked an injury, nor have I heard of players brushing a teammate over same. Yet that is exactly what happened in the […]
From The Couch: Round 18
Origin Disgrace: Losing an Origin match 52-6 is embarrassing but the reaction of coach Laurie Daley following the humiliation was downright embarrassing. New South Wales were thumped from beginning to end. There is no hiding from the fact a much better team annihilated the Blues on every level. They went out to embarrass the Blues […]
From The Couch: Round 16
Where Will Kieran Go: The Kieran Foran saga is set to drag on well into next week and perhaps even longer as the unlucky five-eighth looks to make some hay with the sun well and truly set. And that won’t be at Parramatta with the Eels delusional if they think they can pull this from […]
The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 15
Mitchell Moses has pulled to a four-point lead in the 2015 Willie M Medal after claiming three votes in the loss to the Sea Eagles. Moses can pull off a spectacular play – and that unpredictability can be helpful – but his game isn’t close to being ready for regular first grade.
From The Couch: Round 12
Origin Wrap: Once again it was New South Wales’ conservative selection policy that cost them the first Origin encounter and any chance of defending the crown they were fortunate to claim in 2014. Under Laurie Daley the Blues have played seven times and have yet to score three tries in a single match. It is […]
