From The Couch: November 1
Issac Luke, Grub to the Core: Rugby league would be better off without Issac Luke. He is the kind of skirt better suited to soccer or random midnight park attacks on innocent victims. He has done so much to shame the game this year that I would be embarrassed to be in any way associated […]
From The Couch: October 24
Image: Only at Parramatta: The Paul Osborne saga continues to drag on at Parramatta with the club plummeting to new depths every day it continues and every day Paul Osborne keeps his job as chief executive. It is apparent that Fairfax have no desire to let the story slide. They have written on it for […]
From The Couch: October 17
Image: An Utter Disgrace: Those officials that signed their name to the ransom note attempting to extort the game last week should immediately resign. An email was sent by South Sydney’s Nick Pappas demanding an increase in club grants of nearly 50% to $6 million. Failure to do so will result in the clubs refusing […]
From The Couch: October 10
Image: Des The Dog: Welcome to Belmore, Des. No need for a haircut. Make yourself comfortable. Stay awhile. Here’s the keys. Lock the door when you’re done. In one of the most astonishing coups in rugby league history, Canterbury pinched premiership winning coach Des Hasler only days after he took Manly to the Grand Final. […]
From The Couch: Grand Final
Image: Grand Final Breakdown: There was tremendous excitement heading into the Grand Final. It ended in tremendous disappointment for everyone bar the Manly faithful, who were singing “Eagle Rock” ad nauseum by full-time. The crowd was a lot more Manly than most had forecast. It seems they will travel come Grand Final day. But the […]
From The Couch: Finals Week 3
Image: Farewell, Darren Lockyer: Rugby league sadly said farewell to one of its greatest ever players on Friday night. Tragically, he never even made it to the field. Seeing Darren Lockyer sit there on Friday night, watching helplessly as his Broncos lost and his career came to a sad end, a tear filled my eye. […]
From The Couch: Finals Week 2
Image: What Went Wrong in the Kingdom of Wayne:Last week Wayne Bennett was taken to task in the media for visiting his new club Newcastle only days before the Dragons were to take on Brisbane in an elimination semi-final. It was a complete and utter beat-up with the Dragons playing as well as they have […]
From The Couch: Round 26
Image: The 2011 Willie M Medal:From The Couch is pleased to announce that Blake Ferguson has won the second annual Willie M Medal for the player who did more damage to his team’s chances of victory than any other. No player showed Ferguson’s longevity of mediocrity, his penchant for poorness or consistency of crude play […]
From The Couch: Round 25
Image: One Wild Night: Enough with all the moralistic bullshit, the insufferable high and mighty vitriol, the hypocrisy offered by most of those who have been “outraged” at the “ugly” scenes on Friday night: there was not a single rugby league fan who didn’t enjoy seeing Glenn Stewart and Adam Blair go at it. It […]
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 […]
