Season 2009: Round 17
From The Couch The Funniest Joke in the World: What do you call the five dumbest men in the world? The New South Wales State of Origin selection panel. Hoho. The four-man Blues selection panel and coach Craig Bellamy have again made a bigger mess than Nate Myles in selecting the Blues team for game […]
Season 2009: Round 16
From The Couch Bring Back Ando: Craig Bellamy is done as New South Wales coach. While he certainly doesn’t deserve a great deal of the blame being directed at him, he did play a major role in the selection of the abhorrent New South Wales team and must take some responsibility for the series defeat. […]
Season 2009: Round 15
From The Couch Five Star Freddy: Brad Fittler provided plenty of amusement over the weekend for those who despise the Roosters and the whorish sensibilities they represent. Fittler decided to punch his liver hard in the lead-up to the Roosters-Cowboys match, a great show of leadership and responsibility from the mentor of the last placed […]
Season 2009: Round 14
From The Couch Explanation Required: Perhaps Bob McCarthy, Bob Fulton and/or Laurie Daley could explain why the 31 year old five-eighth of the fifteenth placed team who has not played for New South Wales in four years and has played twelve NRL games in three seasons was selected to wear the number six jersey for […]
Season 2009: Round 13
From The Couch The Panel: Frustration with the video referees and the continued justification of their mistakes from referees boss Robert Finch is so intense that the NRL is looking into appointing a panel of ex-players and coaches that would operate out of a war room at NRL headquarters who would have the right […]
Season 2009: Round 12
From The Couch Origin Prediction: New South Wales 22-Queensland 18. Phil Gould is right in his assessment that the opening game is critical for the Blues. Failure to win at the Telstra Dome and the Blues will lose four straight series as they will have little hope of winning a decider at Lang Park […]
Season 2009: Round 11
From The Couch Thoughts on the NSW Origin Team: For once the NSW Origin selectors seem to have done a reasonable job. I never thought I’d see the day. They showed faith in Terry Campese despite a few quiet weeks instead of panicking and going for Lewis or Barrett. McManus was the right choice over […]
Season 2009: Round 10
From The Couch The Worst Decision in the History of Rugby League: On Friday night I was ready to round up a lynch mob and run down Steven Clark and Robert Finch. I have hardly calmed down since. Numbers would not be hard to find and the lynching of those two clowns would set a […]
Season 2009: Round 9
From The Couch Four Corners: We will start this week on the Four Corners “expose” on rugby league titled “A Code of Silence” by Sarah Ferguson. Whilst some of the allegations were horrid (see the Dane Tilse sexual assault of a woman) and the attitudes of some players towards women were downright disgusting, hypocritical […]
Season 2009: Round 8
From The Couch Representative Selections: Australian, City and Country selectors proved once again the devastation opium addiction can cause with some of their choices for rep positions. Some were strange, others were odd and some further just plain dumb. Here are the worst: Steve Simpson (Country): New South Wales selectors indicated they were going […]
