Maynard delivers 96 in a tight 6-point loss at the SCG against Sydney — this is earned output in a genuine contest, not garbage time. After the R9 blowout-loss caveat, this score in a close arm-wrestle validates the premium tag completely. Averaging 102.5 with a 65 BE and cash gen ticking, he remains one of the best value DEF premiums in the competition. Hold with conviction — captain him freely in tight fixtures.
