In the next of our offseason chats, 2021 champion Tim Moodie a.k.a. the Shady SC Lurker, Catfish and Joe Fitz share their initial thoughts about the 2022 draw release including possibly the team with the best opening draw, look into some stats to prove why you should avoid Rabbitohs for Round 1 teams and for some reason, spend far too long discussing the Bulldogs.

In this episode, Catfish and Joe Fitz look at the players who 'popped' in 2021 but only had a brief flash of interest or relevance this season (five games or less), and throw out some names to keep tabs on over the offseason in case they continue trending in the right direction for 2022. From names like Ieremia Nanai to Luke Keary, there are certainly a variety of names to chuck on the watchlist! Thank you as always for your kind reviews and ratings, we really appreciate them all!

[Again there was a two week delay on recording to publishing of this episode!] They just wanted it more! The NRL is expanding, the Dolphins are coming and Catfish and Joe Fitz have a bit of fun with a NRL Team Mascot draft. We also chat about very preliminary thoughts on what the expansion means for 2023 NRL SuperCoach, plus talk potential team targets for the inaugural Dolphins team based on off-contract players for 2022/2023.

[Recorded the week after the Grand Final - apologies for the delay in editing/uploading, things have been hectic!] Catfish is joined by newly-crowned 2021 NRL SuperCoach Champion, Tim Moodie, for a laidback, more relaxed chat where we celebrate his victory, the Panthers epic Grand Final win, and do a look back over his successful season. Tim is refreshingly and brutally honest about his approach to SuperCoach, we get to see how Tim's brain works and our chat goes off on tangents and directions never thought possible - and things get really 'real' at the end too for a while. All part of the Tim Moodie experience, it seems! Please also consider donating to the MyCause page for Jaimee (Tim's sister) - https://www.mycause.com.au/p/262877/help-jaimee-battle-breast-cancer A massive thank you on behalf of Tim and his sister Jaimee for those who have already been incredibly generous so far.

[This was recorded last Thursday so note that the Dally Ms hadn't had its 'second night' yet!] Maybe it's the first one of many but who knows - in any case, Catfish and Joe Fitz present the Champions' take on the Dally Ms - the Champy Ms (yes bad pun definitely intended). We use a proper voting system inspired by the Dally Ms and apply it via NRL SuperCoach points. Which players receive this prestigious award in 2021?! You'll have to listen to find out (no prizes for guessing the winners unfortunately haha). Thank you as always for your kind reviews and ratings, we really appreciate them all!

NRL finals are ongoing but it's the NRL SuperCoach offseason. That means we're debriefing and preparing for 2022 - we start off by looking at the key lessons that we've learned from 2021 and what key takeaways will we be applying to 2022 onwards. Plus there's a bit of chat about the Topsport NFL Fantasy Charity League too! Thank you as always for your kind reviews and ratings, we really appreciate them all!

The 2021 season is over, and of course a massive congrats to Tim Moodie, coach of 'The Villi Army', for being the latest SuperCoach Champion! As mentioned, we're still here and we do a bit of 'tidying up' for the season, including announcing our group competition winner Brad, coach of 'Hoppa's finger' and also announcing our last Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round winner for 2021. Catfish and Joe Fitz then look back at 2021, and discuss some of their biggest hits and misses this year, and some preliminary thoughts to take forward to 2022.

It's the final countdown for those chasing overall glory, and it's the Grand Final for H2H leagues too! Every week is critical but there's never been more on the line for many SuperCoaches out there - lots of important Wackos Whispers chat, and Catfish is here as always to tackle your Twitter questions (courtesy of Carl McGrath Accounting) including consideration of the five eighth position, and then Catfish reviews all positions where you could take a shot at some final 'Hail Mary' trade-ins.

This is it - we finally made it! Round 25 and the culmination of all of our efforts; overall and head-to-head. And... our teams suck! The vast majority of SuperCoaches are battling to field even 80% of a full team. However, even if the teamlists sucked, we have an absolute belter of an episode - Bear is BACK and he reunites with Catfish and Joe Fitz. We are joined by numero uno - Tim Moodie, coach of The Villi Army and co-host of The SC Experience podcast, and red hot favourite to take out the title of 2021 KFC SuperCoach Champion! But wait, there's more! We also have SuperCoach guru, Olympic commentator, former Australian Test Cricketer and husband to netball royalty, Trent Copeland! So yeah, we still have the Round 24 injury wrap, we chat about the games, we also go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round! We then hear some serious insight from an elite sportsperson who has played at the highest level, and also we get a glimpse into the mind of the SuperCoach who has been one step ahead of everyone else this season. It's fascinating stuff so just get into it!

The penultimate round comes with some serious decisions for SuperCoaches who still have trades. The race for overall glory is still wide open, and the H2H finals are at the "do or die" stage. Catfish and Joe Fitz are here again to help work through the Round 24 match-ups and highlight key points arising from teamlists. We also go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round! Strategy-wise, we focus on breaking down which teams may be in positions, depending on how they go this week, to rest their star players, which obviously has massive implications on our SuperCoach teams. If only NRL coaches cared about us, right? We also consider whether it's Captain Turbo all day every day, or whether Cleary is worth the consideration. Or can you have the best of both worlds...? The answer is... maybe!

There are just three rounds left in the 2021 NRL SuperCoach season but with another highscoring round comes plenty more injury and suspension carnage. More and more teams are being decimated and as frustrating that may be, it shapes up for a fascinating final three rounds to finish the season. Catfish and Joe Fitz are here again to help work through the Round 23 match-ups and highlight key points arising from teamlists. We also go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round! Strategy-wise, we focus on the halfback position - and especially Nathan Cleary - as well as the 2RF position where players are just dropping like flies. We also consider VC/C options and again, strategically where to draw the line on using your final trades.

The round just gone was certainly up and down for a variety of reasons but we continue to lose SuperCoach-relevant players each week. Plenty of teams are struggling big-time and that shapes up for a fascinating, albeit frustrating, end to the season. Catfish and Joe Fitz are here again to help work through the Round 22 match-ups and highlight key points arising from teamlists. NRLPhysio was able to join us and deliver some serious insight into what the real concerns are for Nathan Cleary - especially in light of the Reed Mahoney injury - and also Alex Johnston too. We also go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round! Strategy-wise, we look in depth at some of the left-field moves that SuperCoaches can make as they make a play for overall glory, or for their head-to-head finals campaigns. We consider some low ownership POD options and discuss the process behind how we identify those PODs for ourselves, look at whether or not it's an option to captain anybody aside from Turbo and we also try work out where the 'line' is for whether or not to pull the trigger on your last or last few trades.

Round 21 could make or break some seasons this week - with the final chance for some to make h2h finals, and obviously it's one of very few weeks for those chasing overall glory to stake their claim! Catfish is here as always to bring you Wackos Whispers this week, plus plenty of Twitter questions (courtesy of Carl McGrath Accounting) involving chat about the second fullback position (Ponga / Paps / Teddy), what to do with Hynes, as well as chat about Holmes, Best, Grant, etc. Don't forget to get your Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round entries in!

Round 20 continued to provide more of what we’ve expected from this year – record-breaking SuperCoach scores, long-term injuries, failed HIAs and some suspensions as well! There’s never a dull moment (for better or for worse) in the NRL this season and thankfully Catfish and Joe Fitz are here to help work through the Round 21 match-ups and highlight key points arising from teamlists. We also go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round! Strategy-wise, we look at where the line is in using further trades, who the best CTW replacements for injured players might be, as well as consider whether or not Turbo remains a captain option or not; and if not, who do you pivot to? And some chat about how to maximise your point-scoring potential with the VC loop option.

What a round we have waiting for us! Plenty of SuperCoaches scrambling it showed by the number of questions this week! Catfish is here as always to bring you Wackos Whispers this week, plus plenty of Twitter questions (courtesy of Carl McGrath Accounting) involving chat about the multitude of replacements for To'o in CTW, considering FLB options and Catfish also muses on some strategies for those up the pointy end to consider.

[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 (@nearlythegoat) to preview the Round 20 games and highlight key points arising from teamlists, with a detailed consideration of numerous players and the match-ups. We also go again with this week's Swysh SuperCoach Star of the Round! Strategy-wise, we consider how to handle "the business end" for both classic and head-to-head formats; some broader advice for those in contention for overall glory from how to use those last few trades, how 'POD' should you go, and other ways to navigate the last few weeks; and some seriously deep planning and mid-round trickery to get the edge on head-to-head opponents as you jostle for a finals spot and also during the finals itself.

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!
