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: Finals Week 1

Dumb Dogs: There has been plenty of money for Canterbury to go all the way this year in recent week and the Bulldogs have won six straight but they are going no good at all with their lack of football intelligence the biggest concern. Canterbury played as dumb as a team could against the Dragons […]

From The Couch: Round 20

The Fifita Fools: Andrew and David Fifita are giant human beings. And they also appear to be giant knobs. They should not have been eligible to play for the Sharks on Sunday against the Bulldogs. David didn’t play because he is as bad a first grade footballer as he is a spectator at junior Rugby […]

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 17

Origin III Preview – Here Come The Blues: It has taken to the third game but I am on board the Blues in what shapes as being an open game that could end Queensland’s dynasty. If the referees maintain their interpretation of the 10, then that will play into the hands of the Blues. The […]

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 […]

From The Couch: Round 15

Only At Parramatta: Only Parramatta could manage to find themselves in this current mess where their saviour is likely to walk because the board couldn’t agree on the terms delivered in the contract by the CEO despite those terms being known months before  the CEO was fired for same and said player’s contract was declared […]

From The Couch: Round 14

Origin II Preview: This will not be a long preview, if, for other reason, it is tiresome being repetitive. Queensland will win and they will win because they selected a team to win, not one to contain the opposition. There is plenty of talk about the Blues being tough and they are – but no […]
