From The Couch: Round 11
State of Origin I Preview: There is very little to say. Queensland will win and Queensland will win comfortably. They will do so in a low scorer where the final margin will bely the Maroons’ actual dominance. It is a sad reality for the Blues but one brought about by Laurie Daley and Bob Fulton […]
From The Couch: Round 10
Origin Selection Notes – The Final Call: Let’s start with Queensland. There are few points of interest with the wide fairly stable. Darius Boyd’s return from injury will probably keep Dane Gagai out of a debut spot. Gagai should hold out Chambers but won’t. There will be plenty of interest in who claims the No.9 […]
From The Couch: Round 3
Video Referee Disgrace: NRL Head of Football could have a dungeon full of sex slaves, a massive cocaine addiction, a personal fondness for bubbling or a former life as a Rugby Union official and he would have less cause to resign in disgrace than he does now after yet another diabolical weekend of video refereeing […]

Manly is still down on troops, while the Roosters will field 15 of their squad from last year’s […]
From The Couch: Round 3
The Sharks Play Their Hand: It was great to see Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan – oops, Peter Sharp – play it hard and tough with boom rookie Michael Lichaa and dropping him to reserve grade a day after his debut and the day he announced he had signed with the Bulldogs. It was something […]
From The Couch: Round 6
David Gallop Returns to Rugby League: Anyone who reads this column and doesn’t listen to Fire Up on FBI Radio is either deaf or enjoys self-punishment because it is the best thing that you can get through your ears this side of ‘Rocky Top’. And if you don’t listen this Friday morning at 9am, you […]
