I would do what's best for your on field score over bench cover, especially given we are late in the season, have rolling lockout and you have trades to help cover a late out.
Having a premium on the bench could help for looping but you have to have a bit fall your way for that to work out, its not like you have an easy option to loop like a rookie.
I would look to get Neale of the field or trading him. LDU, Brouch, Libba, Steele are all good options.
