Is Bont worth 3 trades, Neale a hold, and why rookies still matter feat. Nerds4LifeSC! | Breaking Even with Al Paton

SuperCoach expert Al Paton is joined by Tarquin Oakley and guest
Peter Tseros from Nerds4LifeSC to answer the big questions in the
last bye round of the season.


Will coaches regret trading Lachie Neale or Zach Merrett this
week? Which rookies will provide the best bench cover for the run
home?


They settle the great Sam Darcy v Jason Horne-Francis v Jack
Macrae debate, look into Sam Flanders' return to form and answer
whether Tom De Koning and Tristan Xerri owners should be worried.


Plus the latest news on Lachie Whitfield and other injured stars,
and our favourite new segment Rogue Traders - why are so many
coaches trading out Bailey Smith?
