Podcast: White Line Fever
Modern technology is a wonderful thing. As you are about to find out with the first episode of Steve Mascord's White Line Fever, which first up features none other than Making The Nut's own Nick Tedeschi, along with Ray French and a ton of other guests talking rock 'n' roll and rugby league and rugby […]
The Early Line: Round 25
In a monster clash, Manly have opened 2.5 to 3.5 point favourites against Melbourne. I remain unconvinced by the Sea Eagles. Their attitude has been patchy over the last few weeks and they were very lucky to get away with the win and cover against Canterbury following another uninspiring win against Parramatta. Melbourne, meanwhile, have […]
From The Couch: Round 24
Image: Issac Luke is a Low Down Grub and a Milk Drinker of the Highest Order: You can put Issac Luke on the list of players I have genuine loathing for after his embarrassing acting episode on Friday night that sought to emasculate rugby league with the lowest act you will ever see on a […]

The Early Line: Round 24
South Sydney face their biggest match in four seasons when they host North Queensland on Friday night in a must win affair. Bookmakers have opened the red-hot Bunnies up 2.5 to 4 point favourites. Leave me out of South Sydney as a favourite in a high-pressure encounter that their season swings on. It is not […]
From The Couch: Round 23
Image: Douchebag Tale #1: To me it seems completely untenable for Todd Carney or Nate Myles to ever play for the Roosters again. Of course, both probably will. That is The Way of the Roosters. The two, along with Frank-Paul Nu’uausala, were out on the drink only seven days after the playing group at the […]
The Early Line: Round 23
Penrith have opened up 6.5 to 7.5 point home underdogs in their clash with the rejuvenated Wests Tigers on Friday night. The Tigers have won the last two against the Panthers but prior to that, Penrith won five straight and 11 of 13. Moving Michael Jennings to fullback is interesting too. The Tigers have hit […]
From The Couch: Round 22
Image: Canberra Raiders, I Am Available: Canberra Raiders chief executive Don Furner announced last week that a full review would be conducted into the abomination that has been 2011, a complete and utter disaster by any measure. In the past, the likes of Warren Ryan and Michael Hagan have been called in. And, of course, […]
The Early Line: Round 22
St George-Illawarra go into their clash with the Wests Tigers at the SFS as 4 to 4.5 point favourites. The Dragons have been most disappointing of late, collecting only five premiership points in the last eight rounds and blowing big leads against both Canberra and South Sydney. Wayne Bennett questioned the attitude of his players […]
From The Couch: Round 21
Image: A Champion Says Goodbye: In the list of great Canterbury players, Andrew Ryan will sit comfortably in the top 20. The word champion is overused but the Bulldogs skipper is one in the most genuine of senses. So it was with a great deal of sadness to hear Ryan announce his retirement on Monday. […]
