Round 7 was a round of 'haves and have nots', although the list of 'haves' last week really included the likes of Talakai, Cleary, Papenhuyzen, Isaiah Papali'i and several others. You didn't need to have all of them, but you needed at least some of them. The ranks keep compressing more and more, and this week we have Catfish, Joe Fitz and the reigning 2021 champion Tim Moodie (@theSCLurker) to work through the key issues for Round 8.

We go through the key news and also do some serious number crunching in our new segment proudly sponsored by Carl McGrath Accountant. This week we revisit Cleary's numbers, then we play a bit of 'who am I?' with two players who are hotly discussed this week. We also look at whether it's too late for Talakai, do you break your team for Cleary, and we take a preliminary look at the Round 13 bye and consider how many trades used is too many at this point in the season. 

We preview all the key match-ups and points of interest for the Round 8 games and we finish up by picking our Swysh SuperCoach Stars of the week.
