Season 2008: Round 20
From The Couch The Cheapest Whore of Them All…Sonny William Williams is a gutter snipe and he deserves all the misfortune coming his way. There has never been a greater act of disloyalty in rugby league. In true cowardly fashion, Williams fled the country on the eve of the Bulldogs game against the Dragons without […]
Season 2008: Round 19
From The Couch The Tedeschi Awards…In the spirit of the Rugby League Week players’ poll, here are the real results: Top Position Players Fullback: 1. Kurt Gidley 2. Billy Slater 3.

Season 2008: Round 18
From The Couch Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye…Mark Gasnier, we will all be better off for you going to rugby. You are selfish and stupid and by going to French rugby you are hurting nobody but yourself. Gasnier, a man who struggles to construct even the most simple of sentences (“Fire up, Bitch” […]
Season 2008: Round 17
From The Couch Ben Roberts is as Dumb as a Drunk Goat…It is doubtful that I, or any wordsmith for that matter, can find the right words to accurately describe how insanely stupid Ben Roberts is. Let us just say that only he could make Jason Ryles look like Thomas Edison. The starting halfback for […]
Season 2008: Round 16
From The Couch It Just Gets Better…The vinegar is really starting to flow freely now. It is not merely a few lone voices calling for Robert Finch’s head to be placed firmly on a stick and mounted at NRL headquarters as a firm reminder of where ineptitude gets you. Bob Fulton is after him and […]
Season 2008: Round 15
From The Couch Chopping Off the Rotting Head…As someone who has held Steven Folkes in the highest regard for nearly my entire life, I never thought the following words would come from my pen. Steve Folkes is dead to me and he needs to be driven from Belmore immediately. Two security guards should escort him […]
Season 2008: Round 14
From The Couch Whipping Robert Finch (Again)…Who does this fool think he is? And where does he get the power to change the rules on a personal whim? Before Origin II, Finch decided to do away with the way the ruck area had been policed all season by instructing referee Tony Archer that teams who […]

Season 2008: Round 12
From The Couch Rock Around The Clock…Well, Almost All The Way…Many thought the Phantom Siren had returned to ANZ Stadium when half-time was called for prematurely to the tune of 55 seconds. But perhaps not even the Phantom was so audacious as to go off so early. South Sydney had just received a penalty and, […]
Season 2008: Round 11
From The Couch Suburban Rugby League…It was wonderful to see 17,493 people pack into Leichhardt Oval to watch a game of rugby league on a Sunday afternoon at a venue that has an iota of atmosphere. The Wests Tigers are a well run club and are one of the few who pay adequate consideration to […]
