As Time Goes By
I wish I had your scarf still, that once embraced and kept me warm I wish you could be with me, in these last days when I am hopelessly poor” –Stay Out of Trouble, Kings of Convenience Rain beats down with seemingly terminal melancholy today and the grey summer sky is filled with worry and […]
Season 2008: Round 29
From The Couch The Greatest Press Conference of Them All… Well, Craig Bellamy and Brian Waldron did not leave anybody in doubt as to what they were thinking at the post-match press conference last Friday night. Bellamy and Waldron unleashed on the NRL and the judiciary panel over the suspension of skipper Cameron Smith. Bellamy […]
Season 2008: Round 28
From The Couch Nine Fucks It Up Again… Channel Nine did rugby league and their network another great disservice by not showing one of the great modern day classics live (or at a reasonable hour for that matter) into Melbourne despite the fact the Melbourne Storm, the defending premiers, faced elimination. It was one of […]
Season 2008: Round 27
From The Couch A New Top Eight… The McIntyre System, simply, is ridiculous. It is inherently unfair, confusing and convoluted and if I ever find this McIntyre bastard I will whip him until his ears bleed for concocting such stupidity. One needs only look at the weekend just gone to see how absurd the system […]
Season 2008: Round 26
From The Couch They Should Have Let Him Swing… Either the Penrith Panthers are broke, Matthew Elliott has photographic evidence of a majority of the board in some strange stripper orgy or the people running the club are as incompetent as the coach and the team. They are the only explanations for how Matthew Elliott […]
Season 2008: Round 25

First up Anthony Quinn claims that Newcastle hooker “Waltzing” Matt Hilder spat on him after the Storm’s match with Newcastle. That was followed with claims Warriors fullback Wade Mackinnon […]
Season 2008: Round 24
From The Couch Vale, Danny Buderus… It is always unfortunate to see a champion walk away on terms other than his own. Danny Buderus has been a tremendous servant of Australian rugby league, the first of the great modern day hookers who was regarded as one of the great team men. Watching him walk off […]
Season 2008: Round 23
From The Couch Judas Notes #1… With legal proceedings against Judas completed and an agreement reached, the NRL needs to come out and definitively state that Williams will never again be allowed to play in the National Rugby League. David Gallop should also look to reach an agreement with the English Super League that will […]
Season 2008: Round 22
From The Couch Judas Notes #1…Judas Williams landed his brother/manager Khoder Nasser in hot water during his interview on the Footy Show last Thursday. Judas, showing all his intelligence, named Nasser as his manager only days after Nasser denied he acted on behalf of Judas. Williams quickly changed his position, referring to Nasser as his […]
Season 2008: Round 21
From The Couch Judas Notes #1…The class of Judas Williams was no better exemplified than in his two word response to Steve Folkes’ text message chastising Judas for leaving, a message Williams subsequently leaked to the media. There is not an animal on the face of the earth- not the sewer rat, not the pig, […]
