Season 2010: Round 28
Image: From The Couch Baby Toots Should Have Nailed It: Canberra fans will long remember Jarrod “Baby Toots” Croker’s penalty miss that cost the fast finishing Raiders a chance at a preliminary final berth. Croker was almost directly in front and only 25 metres out but he shanked it hard as he choked badly under […]
Season 2010: Round 27
Image: From The Couch That Scrum: Robert Finch may be quitting in a few weeks but he should do the honourable thing and quit right now after his justification of officials Shayne Hayne and Matt Cecchin over the farcical scrum that allowed the Roosters to equalise the Tigers and subsequently defeat them in extra-time. He, […]
Season 2010: Round 26
From The Couch Farewell Robert Finch, Don’t Let the Door Hit Your Ass on the Way Out: It has taken many years, some vicious words and a whole river of hate to drive Robert Finch out of his job as the referees boss but finally we have rid ourselves of him. Finch is reportedly quitting […]
Season 2010: Round 25
From The Couch Fucking Tandy: Well, after last year’s Cowboys-Roosters analysis which saw the lawyers brought in and threats made, we will be very careful. No need for trouble, no need for nastiness, no need for libel. So let’s just say right off the bat that at this stage the NRL are investigating a possible […]
Season 2010: Round 24
From The Couch Brian Smith’s Men Peak Too Early Again: A month back, the Sydney Roosters looked unstoppable. They won five on the trot and were into the second line of premiership betting. The team was lauded for having three rep-quality playmakers, a strong and fast set of outside backs and a bustling forward pack. […]
Season 2010: Round 23
From the Couch The Parramatta Eels are a Joke: It comes as no surprise that Parramatta have not won a premiership in nearly a quarter-century. Truth be told, they have never really come close and if the joint continues to act as unprofessionally as it does both on and off the field at present then […]
Season 2010: Round 22
From The Couch The Rugby League Vote: The Australian Labor Party has long considered itself close to the game of rugby league. The working class traditions of the code have long been held dear by the ALP and in particular those involved in the party in New South Wales and Queensland. Many great Labor men, […]
Season 2010: Round 21
From The Couch The Rugby Delusion: John O’Neill is mad. He has seemingly lost his mind. On Offsiders on Sunday morning, O’Neill claimed that the ARU had done research after Melbourne Storm games asking why people went to Storm games. He went on to say that the majority stated it was because there was no […]
Season 2010: Round 20
From The Couch The Diver: Let’s make this clear right off the bat: I never give Steve Matai the benefit of the doubt. Ever. Matai is a grub and worse, he is as mad as a cut snake. I would trust Hannibal Lecter before I ever trusted Steve Matai. Last Sunday, however, I believe he […]
Season 2010: Round 19
From The Couch The Campaign to Finish Ricky has finally succeeded: 2010 has been a wonderful year for all us Ricky Stuart haters and finally the most overrated coach of the last decade has been driven out of the game, at least temporarily. Ricky Stuart finally plucked up the decency to walk away from the […]
