Catfish is here with the usual Wackos Whispers late mail , your Twitter questions and there's a LOT of Condon/Blore chat this week. Also, is it too late for DFifita, and also defining (or re-defining) why someone is a "Trap" or not. He finishes up by doing a bit of an internal monologue as he works out his trades this week - compare his 'vanilla' options (Riki/Niu out for Condon/BKelly) and the 'b...

2021 is here and with a new year, new season, brings new HOPE - hope of a better SuperCoach season at least! The Champions had a rough end to 2020, a rough year all around, but we've come back from the preseason in great shape, we've been training the house down, our beep test results couldn't be better and our skin folds... actually, let's not talk about our skin folds. *ahem* However, we do refl...

Can this year get any harder? It's like the SuperCoach gods are testing us to see how far we can be stretched before we snap and lose our minds! But in some (slightly sadistic) way, this is fun. Apparently. But yes, players are injured, rested, suspended and leaving the NRL bubble for family reasons - all the fun things we can deal with as SuperCoaches!  Catfish rolls solo this week due to a late...
