ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict
— HOLD

Wardlaw posted 75 in North's 68-point demolition in Adelaide — clears his 61 BE by 14 in a context where his team was being rolled. Scoring above BE in a blowout loss is genuine. Cash gen is thin but positive at +$752/week, and the coach endorsement is as public as it gets — he is genuinely valued in that midfield. Hold and maintain — the role is locked and he is doing his job in a bad team.
