Sell Levi? Buy Hustwaite? Can you not trade? | Breaking Even with Al Paton
Sell Levi? Buy Hustwaite? Can you not trade?
One of the best rookies of 2025 could be on the chopping block as SuperCoaches look for ways to improve our teams for round 8. But is that a smart move?
Al Paton is joined by Patch and Tarquin Oakley to debate Levi Ashcroft, name the best rookie option, rank the top upgrade targets and answer whether this is the week to fix a problem like Tim English or Bailey Dale.
Or could you do something really radical and not trade at all this week?
Plus the latest injury news, rookie roulette and why we would all be much higher ranked if we listened to Tarquin after round 1.
Please note: recorded before Adam Cerra was cleared to play and Mattaes Phillapou’s fresh injury concerns (suffered a corky at training on Wednesday afternoon and is now in doubt to return).
Keep an eye on Al’s socials (@al_superfooty on X) for a weekly post asking for questions!
