SuperCoach Champions

[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...

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! Don't forget to get you...

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...

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! Don't forget to get your Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round entries i...

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...

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...

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! Don't forget to get your Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round entries in! Thank you as always fo...

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 player...

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...

It's great to get a lot of our Origin guns back this week but there's still plenty of question marks over many players to bring in for the coming weeks! Of course we have Wackos Whispers for this week, plus plenty of Twitter questions (courtesy of Carl McGrath Accounting) involving detailed discussion on Marzhew, Cook, Watson, SJ, Talakai and others!  Don't forget to get your Swysh SuperCoach Star...

It was a sneakily difficult post-bye round as suspected, but SuperCoach never stops (until the rep round) and we have another important round coming up! Bear is back this week and the band is back together again (for one week) and we go through the injury wrap, work through the teamlists and discuss plenty of key players and we go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round!  Strateg...

It's the post-Origin madness in Round 14 with "will he, won't he" questions all over the place. Catfish catches up with NRLPhysio first to cover the Origin injuries/backing up discussion, and then we bring an absolutely critical Wackos Whispers for this round, and finish up by tackling your Twitter questions. Catfish covers a variety of players including Suaalii, Milne, Best, Laurie and of course...

We're officially past the halfway point of the season now and past one of the dreaded bye rounds, but first, ORIGIN!

The Champions are back together to help you all make final preparations for the first bye round of 2021 - the first bye round for almost two seasons in fact! On that note, what even is the point of bye planning? No NRLPhysio this week but we provide a brief injury wrap; Joe Fitz almost nailed the perfect prediction of the highest scoring player of the round and the exact score, and we go again wit...

For the third week in a row we saw the SuperCoach scoring record broken, and also the first 1800+ score ever!

It was truly a MAGICal round as SuperCoach points flowed freely and the NRL made the numbers of players disappear on the field during the game, and in subsequent games off the field! Tongue-in-cheek obviously but there's definite flow-on effects to consider so the Champions (three actual former champions this week!) try dissect the teams and the players to look into or keep an eye on. LOTS to chat...

The Magic Round, Round 10 is here and Catfish is here with the usual Wackos Whispers late mail and your Twitter questions.
