We survived Round 13, and there's no time to rest as Round 14 and State of Origin Game 1 is upon us! We will be dropping two shorter episodes this week (pre and post Game 1) to be able to provide more up-to-date analysis of the Origin game 1 fallout and potential impact on Round 14's games. We have Joe Fitz back to join Catfish and 2021 overall champion Tim Moodie to unpack what happened in the first bye round, and we go through the key news and also do some serious number crunching in our new segment proudly sponsored by Carl McGrath Accountant. This round's deep dive is about Dylan Brown from the Parramatta Eels.

Strategy-wise, we start planning for Round 17, and also consider how to navigate this tricky little period in between bye rounds, including how to manage trades and boosts and also potentially what numbers we might expect to have. 

In the second part later this week, we plan to discuss Origin game 1 and any potential implications on teamlists, and also discussing contingency plans, vice-captain and captain ideas, and plenty more. We'll also tackle our Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round predictions too!
