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.

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?
