Callaghan posted 79 on the road against West Coast in a 17-point loss — clears his 71 BE but this is well below the 127.5 average that justified the buy calls over recent rounds. Cash gen is now bleeding at -$4,792/week and the average has compressed to 79 at the current price. The community was bullish heading in and he didn't deliver. He is no longer the bargain premium he was — watch one more round before committing fresh cash.
