SuperCoach Champions

What a round we have waiting for us! Plenty of SuperCoaches scrambling it showed by the number of questions this week! Catfish is here as always to bring you Wackos Whispers this week, plus plenty of Twitter questions (courtesy of Carl McGrath Accounting) involving chat about the multitude of replacements for To'o in CTW, considering FLB options and Catfish also muses on some strategies for those up the pointy end to consider.

[Apologies for the delay in release - we had some audio problems which required extra editing! Unfortunately meant that we weren't able to include all the recorded content but there's still a lot already!]

We thought last week was bad but Rd 20 is a whole new beast with injuries, suspensions and a shortage of trades - the 'perfect storm' if you would. Catfish is joined by former champion Rob Bruns (@nearlythegoat) to preview the Round 20 games and highlight key points arising from teamlists, with a detailed consideration of numerous players and the match-ups. We also go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round! 

Strategy-wise, we consider how to handle "the business end" for both classic and head-to-head formats; some broader advice for those in contention for overall glory from how to use those last few trades, how 'POD' should you go, and other ways to navigate the last few weeks; and some seriously deep planning and mid-round trickery to get the edge on head-to-head opponents as you jostle for a finals spot and also during the finals itself.

Tough round and plenty to stress about this week for SuperCoach! Catfish is here to try help (albeit while sounding a bit crook!), and brings Wackos Whispers properly this week, plus plenty of Twitter questions (courtesy of Carl McGrath Accounting) involving chat about DFifita, Doueihi, Burton, Ponga, Teddy, Paps (of course) and how to best use our precious precious trades!

We thought this would be the week to really put the pedal to the metal but alas, there are still many issues plaguing plenty of SuperCoach teams due to unexpected restings, ongoing suspensions, late returns from injuries and plenty of other dramas. 

Catfish and Joe Fitz preview the Round 19 games and highlight key points arising from teamlists, and there's a long recap of the multitude of Round 18 injuries. We go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round! 

Strategy-wise, we take a seriously deep dive into the numbers of each position, highlighting the players will leave you behind if you don't have them on your team, and identifying some of the lesser-owned players who can make a difference on the run home. In doing this, we essentially work out the "ideal top 17" and work out where the opportunities lie to make up points on the leaders.

Round 18 post-Origin roulette is in full swing, so we get NRLPhysio to help us out with some injury news, we get some Late Mail that's not from Wacko (logistical issues haha), plus plenty of Twitter questions (courtesy of Carl McGrath Accounting) involving chat about DFifita, CHN, Barnett, Curran, Pangai, Pauga, Nofo and others!

The byes are in the rear view mirror but we're not quite out of the woods yet with Origin 3 to come and the 'fun' of post-Origin back-up roulette begins for another round. 

Joe Fitz and Catfish are joined by one of the podcast's most popular recurring guests, 2017 Champion Sam 'BanyoBoy' Rohlf! We sift through the fun of the Round 18 teamlists, recap the injuries, and discuss plenty of key players for this week and the rest of the season. We go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round! 

Strategy-wise, we look at whether it's a priority to save our dwindling trades or push ahead for our final teams, how many players we should have (ideally) for our final teams and also the debate the cost of the trade and what's worth pulling the trigger on.

The second bye round is finally upon us and it's every bit as hard as we expected, but even more so with some of the recent hits that many SuperCoaches have copped via TLT and recent injuries, suspensions, the fun never stops! 

Joe Fitz and Catfish are joined by special guest, the Daily Telegraph's very own fashionista, Rob Sutherland! We take a typically humorous look at this week, going through the injury wrap, dissect the teamlists and discuss plenty of key players and we go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round! We also play a game, and Rob gets to take revenge on behalf of Tom Sangster from a few weeks ago. 

Strategy-wise, we look at how to really consider Round 17 and 18 together with trades this week, and planning ahead for Round 18 coverage with post-Origin hijinks inevitable (remember Round 14?!). We also think about where the biggest opportunities are for the catching up bulk points, and also how that might affect your trade strategy for the rest of the season.

Mega Trade Round seems to have been responsible for many Mega Trade Headaches! Hopefully this helps - of course we have Wackos Whispers for this week, plus plenty of Twitter questions (courtesy of Carl McGrath Accounting) involving chat about Cleary, Brailey, Watson, Garrick, Fifita, Verrills and others!

It's finally MEGA TRADE ROUND and we all have five trades burning a hole in our pockets, itching to be used. It's Catfish, it's Joe Fitz and we were going to have a special guest who had to postpone a week - so stay tuned for that one! We still got a message from someone extremely special though, hang out for that :) 

We dive straight into chatting about the teamlists, identifying plenty of players of interest both for Round 17 and beyond, we have a quick check-in on Swysh, and then we talk strategy - to sell or not to sell Cleary, looking at potential replacement options, and how to maximise our plans for the five trades and the path forward from here.

We've had a week off but Catfish and Joe Fitz were still here to catch up with a special guest, the Guru of NRL SuperCoach himself, Tom Sangster! With no teamlists and Origin 2 on the way, we take it easy and play a game, then we strategically consider the Mega Trade round, how many trades to prepare for the run home and also discuss various approaches for Round 16, 17 and beyond. A light-hearted episode for this week before we get stuck into Round 16!
