Daniels scores 60 in a 17-point road loss to West Coast — clears his 53 BE and keeps cash gen positive at $2,905/wk. The step-down from the 78-81-114 run is visible and 60 in a losing effort at Perth is a floor-clearing score rather than a dominant one. Cash gen still flowing and role appears intact. Hold — the buy window has likely passed at $361.3k, but the cash gen reason to stay is still present. Don't trade unless you need the cash urgently.
