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.

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 […]
Season 2010: Round 18
From The Couch If You Didn’t Love a Field Goal Before, You Sure Should Now: Those who love a field goal have spent the last week in heaven thanks to Benji Marshall and Darren Lockyer and two monster first-half field goals that were determining factors in two big games. Firstly, the Darren Lockyer field goal. […]
Season 2010: Round 17
From The Couch State of Origin III Preview: The simple fact of the matter is that Origin III will play out how Queensland want it to play out. If they have been getting high and partying hard for the last week just as they did in the lead-up to Origin III last year, this will […]
