The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 14
The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 14 Canberra halfback Aidan Sezer has moved equal-top of the Willie M Medal leaderboard after 14 rounds after another inept showing against Brisbane. A big-name buy over the offseason, Sezer has polled in six of his last seven games. Since Round 1 he has managed just two assists while […]

From The Couch: Round 13
State Of Origin I Wrap: State Of Origin I could not have been more predictable. The game was low-scoring. Once again the Blues went conservative. Once again the Maroons did just enough. The Bunker was required only once but managed to screw up twice. The refereeing was wildly inconsistent. The match was lauded by those […]
From The Couch: Round 12
Origin I Preview: In what has been the most boring leadup to an Origin in memory thanks to two coaches who seem to be out of their depth and also great friends, anticipation for Origin I is at an all-time low. The biggest shock is that NSW are favourites. They don’t deserve to be. The […]
The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 12
The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 12 Jack Wighton continues to firm in Willie M betting with another atrocious performance on a winning side. Only getting dropped to NSW Cup will save him. Brisbane v Wests Tigers 3-Lachlan Maranta (Bri) 2-Anthony Milford (Bri) 1-Jack Reed (Bri) Judge: Brendan Curran St George Illawarra v North Queensland […]
From The Couch: Round 11
Blues Selection Analysis: Let’s start with the positives. It was fantastic to see Adam Reynolds named for his Origin debut. He arguably should have been selected the last two series and he has certainly been the most consistent half available since 2014. His pairing with James Maloney provides NSW with a strong kicking game and […]
The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 11
The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 11 A roughie has hit the front in the Willie M Medal with Gareth Widdop surging to the lead in one of the shocks of the season. He is no chance of losing his spot so is right in this. South Sydney v St George Illawarra 3-Gareth Widdop (Dra) […]
From The Couch: Round 10
I Have A Dream: It seems that Jarryd Hayne has a new dream. Hayne’s dream of playing in the NFL has suddenly come to an end. In his mind – and his spin – he has “retired”. The more likely scenario is that new 49ers coach Chip Kelly was on the verge of cutting Hayne, […]
The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 10
When the final history of the Willie M Medal is written, Jack Wighton’s horrific performance will stand the test of time as one of the worst, most costly, stupid, moronic performances in the history of first grade with his no-look intercept pass that ultimately cost the Raiders the game just the cherry on top of […]
From The Couch: Round 9
From The Couch: Round 9 The Shame of Rep Selection: The NRL should be deeply embarrassed by this coming rep weekend. They have again shown total disregard for anything outside club football and it is a great blight on the game. Semi Radradra is unnecessarily playing for Australia. Anthony Milford refuses to play for Samoa. […]
