Some Dolphin watch that also includ...

This week couch commentators we channel our inner McEnroe as we ask the refs, You can not be serious, some of these inconsistencies are killing teams. You can not be serious, Media!

Episode 23 - Back in the Winners circle 30.03.2022

Welcome back couch commentators. On reflection, by the end of the round, I can see how ironic the title of our podcast may seem.

We take a look at the Round 3 of the NRL, and give you our take. We send out our commiserations for one of the gr...

Episode 22 - Don't be None from 2! 22.03.2022

Welcome back couch commentators. This week was a unique one, where we had to record before a Broncos game! That's right, I said it, before! We didn't play in our traditional Friday night slot, nor the early Thursday ratings winner, not even a Super Saturday! We played the Sunday late game, the graveyard shift, usually left for the likes of the cellar dwellers. This is no ordinary year, this year l...
