From The Couch History Always Repeats South of the Tweed: The best player in a Blue jersey in Origin II was Nathan Hindmarsh. He, of course, was dropped by these pigfucker selectors who have no idea. Hindmarsh should be captain of the team. Instead he will be watching from home. Hindmarsh only played 68 minutes, […]

From The Couch Bob McCarthy Knows Nothing About Rugby League: Well done, Bob McCarthy. You have handed Queensland another series. With your stupidity, your lack of rugby league understanding and your downright stubbornness, you have selected a team that would not beat a New South Wales second seventeen let alone Queensland.
