From The Couch: Round 18

Foran Leaves the Eels … and The Eels Should Be Stoked: Kieran Foran has walked out on Parramatta and his four-year, $5 million deal just eight games in. It was a major struggle getting Foran to the Eels but the club should be stoked that he has walked away. Foran has been a disaster at […]

From The Couch: Round 17

  Blues Blow It Again: Laurie Daley has named the best NSW side for the series but has again undercut Blues hopes by some ridiculous and gutless decisions that will do nothing for the state now or in the future. There was some good. James Tedesco is the best player the Blues have available and […]

The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 17

The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 17 Sydney Roosters winger Daniel Tupou cost the Roosters again with a key drop and then only hurt his team further with some terrible defensive reads.

From The Couch: Round 16

Gus Was Right: Phil Gould was bang on the money post-Origin II when he lambasted a selfish culture within the Blues camp. He didn’t name names but anyone who knows anyone about league knows he was talking about the skipper, his vice and a number of other senior players. Where he did not go was […]

The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 16

We have a four-way lead at the top of the Willie M Medal leaderboard with Jono Wright’s totally inept performance that without question cost the Warriors victory on Saturday night propelling him to the top. He is the worst player in the NRL. He would struggle to play Group 10 first grade.

From The Couch: Round 15

Semi Must Get Life Ban: Everyone in Rugby League hopes Danny Weidler and the rumours that Semi Radradra is defecting to rugby union are wrong. Nobody wants to see one of the game’s most popular stars walk away from the code and a binding contract. He is an electrifying player who can light up a […]

The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 15 Another incompetent performance from Daniel Tupou has catapulted the former Origin winger to the equal lead of the 2016 Willie M Medal. It is astonishing to believe he could ever have represented considering how poor his entire game. South Sydney v Parramatta 3-Dane Nielsen (Sou) 2-Sam Burgess (Sou) […]
