ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict
▼ SELL

Moraes scraped home with 43 in a 25-point Port loss away at Darwin — one point above his 42 BE in a game where Port was outclassed. He has now hit 20 games, the cash cow is fully grown, and cash gen is compressing to $1,562/wk. The Josh Carr mentorship narrative has served coaches well but the scoring ceiling of 57-60 is the reality and this week was below that. Sell into any remaining price if you need the trade — the cash gen story is done and 43 barely above BE in a loss is not a compelling hold argument.
