SuperCoach Champions

In what is hopefully our last self isolation episode, Bear and Catfish spend a long time unpacking the ins and outs of the NRL, and NRL SuperCoach, season restart. We talk through the potential SuperCoach impacts of the:-

• shortened season;

We also talk through our (current) proposed five trades, explaining our intentions behind them and what we are planning to do moving forward. 

Finally, we consider how far back you can be to still be a legitimate chance of finishing at the top of the rankings this season. Spoiler alert: it's probably further back than you think!

First, an apology for our prolonged absence (it's been a month!) but we're finally back - even though this episode is a week old and recorded *just* before the big announcement of the new NRL SuperCoach trade set-up - so we don't talk about any of that, and we only discuss broadly the start date of 28 May, the shortened season and what that means for the actual NRL competition and whether this is an 'asterisk' season. 

We then share our respective all-time SuperCoach teams, going through each position as we know the NRL SuperCoach team setup now, and also nominating some honourable mentions for each scoring position. A little bit of fun and a somewhat nostalgic walk down memory lane too!

Ha, ha, ha, ha staying inside, staying inside. What, not a Bee Gees fan? What a time to be alive these days as we bring you the second "Self Isolation" episode during this little hiatus. No comments on COVID-19 this week, it's other depressing chat - with some positive - as Catfish and Bear break down our Round 1 teams and what has gone right, wrong and in-between after two weeks of the season. 

We celebrate the calls we got right, the ones we got wrong (Catfish breaks down the actual impact of him starting with Damien Cook over Api Koroisau for starters) and the ones that are still "TBC" (i.e. we can't tell after just two weeks). 

Catfish ponders some potential POD/anti-POD strategies to try catch up and we also take some wild guesses based off just two rounds of data from 2020 as to who we might see finish up the top in each position (assuming we get some footy back, and there is a shortened season.

And just like that, the season is... on hold? We're still here and we're going to keep coming at you all with (semi) regular episodes even during this 'hiatus'. Giving the people what they want while they're self-isolating (hopefully!!!) or if you're a frontline worker, thank you for your continued hard work and sacrifice in this difficult time! 

We talk a few key points from Round 2, and then we talk the suspension of the NRL season, sharing some preliminary thoughts on how it might impact the NRL SuperCoach season once it restarts later in the year (fingers crossed we still get some footy and SuperCoach, even if the season is reduced)! Think injuries being healed, fitness concerns, the lack of byes and what we may end up having to do as the season prepares to restart later in the year.

As mentioned earlier, our first edition of the 'pre-lockout' episode but unfortunately due to audio dramas (and unrelated work-related dramas thanks to COVID-19!), we weren't able to get Wacko Jacko's late mail segment this week - it'll be sorted by next round though! 

The Champions answer your Twitter questions, featuring plenty on Williams (both of them), Flegler, Katoa, Yeo, Simonsson, Isaako and others.

The preseason was long but in a flash, Round 1 has already come and gone! It was a crazy round with a lot going on, but SuperCoaches, let's not overreact. Catfish and Bear are here to tell you all to calm your farm and discuss what your focus should really be in the first two weeks (spoiler: rage trading is NOT one of the things you should be doing), so that you can use your trades as effectively as possible to set up the year.

We talk about at all the most popular trade-outs and trade-ins, and we also get the weekly injury update from NRLPhysio himself.

... all about their 2020 Round 1 team (until we get another urge to tinker with the team again!)

Like last year, we go through each selection and explain/clarify our thought process behind it. There's a few interesting picks from both teams including some discussion on starting with at least one non-playing reserve (NPR) this year. We also discuss some potential strategies on maximising points at fullback.

Time is running out to finalise preparations for the start of the NRL SuperCoach season! SuperCoach Christmas (a.k.a. the first proper TLT of the year) is almost upon us and there are still SO many question marks this year! Catfish and Bear try make sense of the halves position though - reflecting firstly on how both of us used the halfback and five eighth position so differently yet to great effect in our respective Champion seasons, and then trying to apply some of those takeaways to 2020. 

We tackle the Cleary vs Moses conundrum, the impact of Latrell Mitchell on Luke Keary and Cody Walker, as well as diving into some of the other names in the Halfback and Five Eighth positions that you put to us when we did a Twitter callout a while back.

Catfish and Bear are back (although this was recorded prior to this weekend's round of trial games) and chat more about the strategy of 2020. We breakdown where we think the most critical position for SuperCoach will be this year, what're the easiest and hardest positions to handle this season and go through our thoughts on some of the key players in those various positions.

So if you want to hear about fullbacks, hookers, prop forwards and second row forwards, we talk about plenty of them this week!
