The "Late and Raspy Mail" edition is here this week. Catfish croaks his way through his thoughts on some of the key players from this week - Billy Smith, Harrison Edwards, Ben Trbojevic, Heilum Luki, Kodi Nikorima, Joey Manu, Zac Hosking and the Eels' new acquisition + flow-on effects.

The reigning champ is back again - 2022 overall champion Matt Wight jumps on with the corpse of Catfish to to dive into some serious Crunchin' the Numbers and strategy chat over the hooker position and how to navigate that position for the rest of the season. We also look at the captaincy options and finish up by going into detail over some complementary bye schedules in the other limited (i.e. only two slots available) positions to work out which Origin players could be viable to hold... provided you have the right combo!
