I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'during series a couple of players' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'express rage i could not contain?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'express' could be 'utter' ('utter' can be a synonym of 'express') and 'utter' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
