Serong put up 113 in R10 — his second consecutive 100+ score after the R8 nadir of 63. The underlying problem is confirmed: he was deliberately rested to 60-67% TOG in Q3 and Q4 as part of Fremantle workload management on a short turnaround. Cash gen is still hemorrhaging at -$4,876/wk. Two good scores is the exit window — sell now while the price has recovered, before the next vest game cuts the ceiling again.
