Gee and Tee, begin by reviewing the action from Week 14. The NRL continues as a soapie and they discuss the consistency of the Melbourne Storm. They discuss whether Kevin Proctor sunk his teeth into a shark and if Aaron Woods was really completing a run around. The Chip and Chase is back and they breakdown the potential of Nick Meaney and if referees really 'manage' the game. At 39.15 - The guys preview Round 15 of the NRL, and discuss moustaches, if the Broncos can score 8 tries to win games, Brad Arthur passing drills and the return of Will Hopoate and whether Dylan Brown needs to call for the ball. At 52:51 - the guys pick their top 5 NRL players who you would need if you were stuck on a deserted island and they talk about Brent Naden and discuss a ridiculous quote from Antonio Conte the Internazionale Coach

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs centre Will Hopoate joined Zac Bailey to discuss the prospect of returning to rugby league, injured teammate Kieran Foran's comeback from injury and watching his younger brother Jamil debut earlier this year. Plus, the Tonga international gives his thoughts as to where international rugby league could fit into the 2019 calendar

It's serious business for NRL SuperCoach, with preliminary finals for head-to-head players and of course, the overall race is looking like another close finish just like last year with a new overall leader. No Bear this week but Catfish is joined by Sam "BanyoBoy" Rohlf (@BanyoBoy), the 2017 overall champion, who shares his experience in the last two rounds and offers some wise words of wisdom to those at the pointy end. As hinted previously, Catfish is also joined by another special guest, a very familiar name and voice in Tom Sangster (!) who clears up once and for all the truth behind whether his captain gets unicorn point updates (spoiler alert: he doesn't), why he lies to us about his trade, captain and reserve options (spoiler alert again: he doesn't), and he also provides us with a look into "the other side" when they prepare to crown the new overall champion (Note: audio wasn't ideal for this section so you may need to turn up the volume from around the 7 minute mark to the 25 minute mark). Catfish and BanyoBoy then discuss a few players of interest in each of the eight games this week, including the likes of Will Hopoate, Ken Maumalo, Blake Ferguson, Connor Watson, Ryan Papenhuyzen, Daniel Tupou, Bronson Xerri, Luciano Leilua and Jackson Ford - players who might be PODs to target or potential start/sit decisions for common players in most of our teams.  Thank you as always for your kind reviews and ratings, we really do appreciate them all! And we did mention our Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/NRLSC_Champions - please have a browse and see if you want to get involved!  Follow us on Twitter (@NRLSC_Champions), or individually (@CatfishSC and @GFeeney10) to stay up to date on all things NRL SuperCoach, and to be notified about when the next podcast is out!
