From The Couch: Round 18
Foran Leaves the Eels … and The Eels Should Be Stoked: Kieran Foran has walked out on Parramatta and his four-year, $5 million deal just eight games in. It was a major struggle getting Foran to the Eels but the club should be stoked that he has walked away. Foran has been a disaster at […]

From The Couch: Round 15
Semi Must Get Life Ban: Everyone in Rugby League hopes Danny Weidler and the rumours that Semi Radradra is defecting to rugby union are wrong. Nobody wants to see one of the game’s most popular stars walk away from the code and a binding contract. He is an electrifying player who can light up a […]

It is astonishing to believe he could ever have represented considering how poor his entire game. South Sydney v Parramatta 3-Dane Nielsen (Sou) 2-Sam Burgess (Sou) […]
From The Couch: Round 14
Melbourne Will Win the 2016 Premiership: The Melbourne Storm have been the defensive benchmark all season, they have posted 34-plus four times, they have kept opponents to six points or fewer in five of the last six games, they have the game’s best coach and they have three of the best dozen players in […]
From The Couch: Round 13
State Of Origin I Wrap: State Of Origin I could not have been more predictable. The game was low-scoring. Once again the Blues went conservative. Once again the Maroons did just enough. The Bunker was required only once but managed to screw up twice. The refereeing was wildly inconsistent. The match was lauded by those […]
From The Couch: Round 10
I Have A Dream: It seems that Jarryd Hayne has a new dream. Hayne’s dream of playing in the NFL has suddenly come to an end. In his mind – and his spin – he has “retired”. The more likely scenario is that new 49ers coach Chip Kelly was on the verge of cutting Hayne, […]
The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 7
It strikes as utterly inconceivable that the Wests Tigers would even consider paying Mitchell Moses what he is reportedly demanding. He has shown virtually nothing as a first grader and is in the box seat to claim a second Willie M Medal, hitting the lead with another shocker that saw him miss the easiest of […]
From The Couch: Round 6
Diving is a Scourge on the Game: There is nothing I enjoy seeing more on a Rugby League field than diving. Long-time readers may recall a scathing article I penned about a Ray Cashmere dive in Canberra nearly a decade back. It has been something that has riled me ever since. And now the latest […]
