From The Couch: Round 2
From The Couch: Round 2 Mann Oh Mann: Has Paul McGregor lost the plot? Are his eyes painted on? Is he being held to some kind of blackmail ransom by either Kurt Mann or Josh Dugan or every other NRL team? Surely these are the only explanations for his decision to play Mann at fullback […]
From The Couch: Grand Final
The Greatest Game of All: Sunday night’s Grand Final was the greatest game of Rugby League ever played. It surpassed the ’89 Grand Final, the ’85 Challenge Cup final, the ’13 World Cup semi and any number of Origin matches. It was played with a fervour and a pace rarely seen in a decider. The […]
From The Couch: Finals Week 3
Grand Final Preview: As much as it would be a real delight – both spiritually for the great JT and financially having steamed in at the 10s pre-season – to see the Cowboys lift the trophy on Sunday night, it won’t happen. The Broncos look absolute specials to win their seventh title and end […]
From The Couch: Round 25
Jason Taylor Didn’t Think This Through: Jason Taylor has clearly exposed his own failings as a coach by his decision – and that of the total morons running the Wests Tigers – to call out Robbie Farah in the most humiliating way possible. Taylor’s blinkers showed he is no tactician. He is no thinker. […]
From The Couch: Round 22
Deal with the Devil: Any hope that the horrid reign of Rugby League on Nine would end was extinguished on Monday when the NRL announced it had reached a $925 million deal with the network that extends their relationship until 2022. It is a sad day for followers of the code even if on face […]

From The Couch: Round 20
The Fifita Fools: Andrew and David Fifita are giant human beings. And they also appear to be giant knobs. They should not have been eligible to play for the Sharks on Sunday against the Bulldogs. David didn’t play because he is as bad a first grade footballer as he is a spectator at junior Rugby […]
From The Couch: Round 18
Origin Disgrace: Losing an Origin match 52-6 is embarrassing but the reaction of coach Laurie Daley following the humiliation was downright embarrassing. New South Wales were thumped from beginning to end. There is no hiding from the fact a much better team annihilated the Blues on every level. They went out to embarrass the Blues […]
From The Couch: Round 15
Only At Parramatta: Only Parramatta could manage to find themselves in this current mess where their saviour is likely to walk because the board couldn’t agree on the terms delivered in the contract by the CEO despite those terms being known months before the CEO was fired for same and said player’s contract was declared […]
From The Couch: Round 14
Origin II Preview: This will not be a long preview, if, for other reason, it is tiresome being repetitive. Queensland will win and they will win because they selected a team to win, not one to contain the opposition. There is plenty of talk about the Blues being tough and they are – but no […]
