SuperCoach Champions

It's MAGIC this week as we stumble into Round 10, Magic Round where all the games will be played at Suncorp Stadium, albeit a possibly quite wet Suncorp. Catfish and Joe Fitz are here to take you through this week, after a late withdrawal from Tim Moodie due to a dental emergency.  We go through the key news and also do some serious number crunching in our new segment proudly sponsored by Car...

No Wackos' Whispers again this week as he continues to attend to important family matters but he will be back soon! So again, weirdly a Late Mail Edition without late mail haha!

Lots of chat re: Tass, Tuipulotu, Haumole, Turbo, Drinkwater, Elliott and more!  Make sure you join the SuperCoach Champions overall group (GROUP code 899392) to...

2022 SuperCoach has been one of the tightest seasons going around this early in the year, with massive ranking changes possible due to how compressed all the teams are! The ranks keep compressing more and more after Round 8's lack of massive scorers, and this week we have Catfish, Joe Fitz and the reigning 2021 champion Tim Moodie (@theSCLurker) to work through the key issues for Round 9. We go th...

Round 7 was a round of 'haves and have nots', although the list of 'haves' last week really included the likes of Talakai, Cleary, Papenhuyzen, Isaiah Papali'i and several others. You didn't need to have all of them, but you needed at least some of them. The ranks keep compressing more and more, and this week we have Catfish, Joe Fitz and the reigning 2021 champion Tim Moodie (@theSCLurker) to wor...

Poor Wacko is still flat out so no Wackos' Whispers again this week as he continues to attend to important family matters. So again, weirdly a Late Mail Edition without late mail haha!

Round 6 was well and truly "Cleary's round" and it makes things super interesting moving forward.

Round 4 is, as they say, a game of two halves; the first half was so low scoring, and then we had a points explosion in the last few games. The SuperCoach landscape continues to shift and the overall ranks are compressing more each week. Joe Fitz returns to join Catfish and 2021 champion Tim Moodie (@theSCLurker) to make sense of the upcoming round.  We go through the key news (PVL tackling w...

We're putting the band back together as Catfish and Bear review the final week of trials and highlight some of the key observations on players and the teams generally. Catfish gives a quick update on the penalty situation and then we dive a bit deeper into some strategy questions:- in this COVID-19 environment, should we focus on points (best guns) over depth (spread the money); will the middle fo...
