McCreery posted 52 in a tight 6-point away loss to Sydney at the SCG — just clearing his 49 BE in one of the hardest road environments in the competition. That result context matters. Cash gen is positive at +$676/wk and he's been consistently around or above BE since returning from his R8 absence. He won't set your team alight at $331.7k but he's doing the job. Hold.
