Roberts call, Sheezel and Shai, and how to use your final trades! | Breaking Even with Al Paton
With the byes behind us and trade counts running low, Al Paton is joined by Patch and Chloe Williams to answer the biggest SuperCoach questions ahead of round 17.
Matt Roberts has to go, but it’s a trickier call on players like Harry Sheezel, Shai Bolton and Adam Cerra – and the Andrew Brayshaw owner with an itchy trade trigger finger and one trade left needs to calm down.
Sam Darcy, Tom Stewart and Tom De Koning are also on the agenda, plus the panel reveal their favourite POD premos, how many trades they are prepared to go down to, deliver the latest injury news and expose this week’s biggest rogue traders.
NOTE: The HBF Injury Report was recorded prior to news emerging that Zach Reid has been sent for scans on his hamstring (again).
