Plenty to get through this week.  The boys talk about the SuperCoach Semi finals and what do do with your Broncos players on bye this week. Is KP the best option for Captain this week?  And how good are the Matildas. We know it's a different sport but come on Tillies!!  TIMECODES: 5.41 - The needle, the knife and the naughty corner 8.50 - Round 24 unpacked by match analysis 38.28 - The SuperCoach...

The warriors are on track to finals and if Shaun Johnson isn't in your Fantasy team by now what the heck are you doing?!?!  Our advice is chuck in as many Wah's players as you can for the finals.  Plus we're in the middle of an argument about whether to drop Gutherson for Latrell Mitchell.. Josh reckon's Trell is about to fire, where Tim's not so sure.  All eyes should also be on Melbourne for thi...

It's SuperCoach finals week and if you need help on what trades to make you have come to the right place.  Tim and Josh agonise over the tough decisions you have to make and give you a few sneaky cheapies you can carry through your finals and the players you must drop.  And of course we unpack round 22 and give huge props to Cam McInnes for his record breaking effort.  TIMECODES: 2.33 - The needle...

Moltz has been struck down with the man flu so Josh takes us through round 21 and gives a list of sneaky under-owned players we should pick up moving into the finals.    TIMECODES: 2.20 - The needle, the knife and the naughty corner 6.02 - Round 21 unpacked by match analysis 28.00 - Josh gives us the players that not many people own to give you the edge for your run into the finals LINKS Tim Moltz...

Getting to the business end of the competition, this is where every decision matters.  We will take you through some of the least owned players and  whether you should have them in your side, and this might sound crazy, but is it time to drop Nicho Hynes? And of course we unpack round 20 and discuss just how good this Warriors team is for the run home.  TIMECODES: 4.35 - The needle, the knife and...

Huge episode after the shortened round! Tim Moltzen gives us the must have players for the run home for season 2023, some of the picks are very surprising.  And of course we unpack round 19 and look at some of the lesser owned players that stood up during byepocalypse number 3 and get the boys score guesses for State of Origin 3.  TIMECODES: 3.29 - The needle, the knife and the naughty corner 5.12...

The Rugby League Guru stops by the show today to chat all things Origin and try to get inside the mind of Freddy's huge clean out for Game 3 by asking why choose Walker over Hynes? He also shares his solution to the problem we're all having filling the hooker position and that is; Harry Grant & Jacob Little.  Plus he takes on Moltz in a typical Josh Halling quiz.  And of course we unpack round...

We're asking the hard hitting questions this week like;  - Is Manly cooked? And how would you like your Sea Eagle cooked?  - Is Cam Munster the best Rugby League player in the game right now.  - How many times can Tim Moltzen reference the Tigers when we're not talking about the Tigers.  - Which teams have no more byes this season: Sharks, Tigers & Gold Coast.  Plus we're unpacking the round t...

After the second Byepocalypse of the season Tim and Josh take you through the fallout of the short round 16 and pose the questions: Is it time to sell Josh Schuster? Is it time to buy Jason Taumalolo now he is back? And was the Cam McInnes monster performance a flash in the pan, or is it worth getting him long term?  PLUS!! Huuuuuge guest joins the show. Denan Kemp AKA 'Bloke In A Bar' jumps on to...

It's been a big day for Origin in particular with a surprising lineup for the Blues in Game 2.  Tim & Josh have differing opinions on this one... Hynes is out, and is probably a prayer answered for all fantasy players as well all know he's about to be the most owned player once again.  Mitch Moses is in - the man we thought would carry us through the Origin period has the call up.  Plus the le...

Tim managed to pick Origin Game 1 score, but will he be right about who we think will be in for the Blues for Game 2.  Big blow to most Supercoach/ Fantasy teams this week with Nathan Cleary out for minimum 6 weeks, Jahream Bula is coming through as a very good fantasy player (even with a loss this week) and it looks like Teddy got the chance to redeem himself this week!  Plus, can anyone pick wha...

Special guest Liam Knight joins the boys in studio this week to chat about his short lived Fantasy/ SuperCoach playing run.  Plus off the back of Liam's incredibly vulnerable chat with Jake Duke on Fox about substance abuse, he and Tim unpack the culture surrounding alcohol in a team environment.  And how as a young player coming through the ranks, having a beer with your teammates is the easiest...

We're calling it, the Tiges are charging for the 2023 premiership!  But in all seriousness, it might be worth getting some Tigers players into your team after that mammoth performance.  Jahream Bula in particular - but also the centre/wing Junior Tupou and Starford To'a both scoring well this week.  Plus the return of Tommy Turbo to full strength on the pitch, albeit only for 1 week before being p...

Enter Scott Sorensen... Or should we call him Scott SCOREnsen, an absolute blinder fantasy-wise against a soft chooks side, definitely the stand out of the round.  Souths are stamping their name firmly on the competition as well, with a pretty favourable draw upcoming - might be time to start looking at some of those non-Origin starters.  Plus the Cowboys are the most unpredictable team this year....

The Phins came in strong at Magic Round, but there's only one (very cheap but impactful) name on everyone's lips this round... Valynce Te Whare!  At $200K he's worth the risk bringing into your side just for the fun of it!  Plus The Tiges are on a roll, 2 in a row! And we've got one very happy Tigers fan in the studio, Moltz unpacks the game, including the stars *cough* Jahreme Bula *cough* And we...

The GOAT, Jeremy Latimore, gives us a buzz to sledge Moltzen a bit from their playing days together. He also gives us some Dragons players to keep an eye on and what impact he's had on Nicho Hynes' development. Plus, if you're a Tigers fan then you're going to LOVE todays episode! The monkey is off the back and you're up and running for 2023... the tables have turned for therapy time this week! Ar...

It was a HUGE ANZAC round that felt like it went for 10 days, and we are not complaining about it at all!  We're unpacking Round 8 for you from the huge hits, the injuries and also the standouts.  Plus it's time to harshly consider the upcoming bye rounds and Origin and how that's going to affect your team. We've got your guide on what teams you should be looking to for some good fantasy players. ...

In a round that wasn't very kind to most fantasy managers, we unpack who were the standouts and who you should be looking at in the lead up to Origin.  Plus who should you be moving on? - Maybe a couple of Parramatta players.  Which teams have favourable draws - Knights + Dragons  And The Supercoach Whisperer drops in to chat his strategy for this year and who we need to be keeping an eye on.  TIM...

We're unpacking the round that was, and we're working out who we need to move on...  Now might be a good to move on Cam Murray, Tom Trbojevic and J'maine Hopgood (if you haven't already). Heads up, Origin is around the corner! And it might be good to start looking at both the Eels and Roosters who have favourable draws in the next few weeks.  Lastly, we're letting you in on some good options that...

Nearly a quarter of the way through the regular season and the prodigal son of Fantasy NRL, J'maine Hopgood has been benched. So who goes in his place?  Zac Hosking could be your answer.  Plus it's time to start thinking about how Origin selections will impact your team and prepare with that in mind.  And we take you through the Supercoach Vice Captain hack, as well as Timmy's reasoning for choosi...

We're starting to see some consistencies form in our Fantasy leagues, but now we have to consider the return of the fantasy king from 2022, Nicho Hynes.  We also unpack why you should stick with Nathan Cleary, we compare the Panthers vs Eels back line (in particular Hosking vs Garner) and whether Reece Walsh is likely to play Origin.  Plus, we take a look at the rolling draw for the next few weeks...

The legend Beau Ryan joins us to talk about his fantasy team, the fact he used to play Fantasy while he played for the Tigers and some dirt on how Paul Gallen used to strategically play to help his stats. Plus, you know the drill by now, we're unpacking round 3 and giving you the stats you need to get the edge in your leagues.  And some big names are back this week so that will impact your squad,...

It's been a big weekend for injuries, so we unpack how that affects both the players and your fantasy squad.  Plus we take you through match by match and figure out who the fantasy winners were, where the disappointments were and who we want to keep our eyes on.  And if you're a Tigers fan... Tim is right there in the trenches with you, we've got an emotional moment for you all.  TIMECODES: 3.20 -...

Well... We've only had one round of footy but already someone's in trouble.  With Roosters and Panthers both having unexpected losses, our team 'The Bunsen Burners' suffered heavily and Josh's had enough.  We're unpacking the fantasy winners, disappointments and surprises from each match this weekend.  Plus who we've got our eye on going into Round 2 and what changes we're making to our side.  TIM...
