Hamling dipped to 37 in R6 — 1 below his 38 BE — after his impressive 89-point debut in R5. Sydney won comfortably by 41 so this isn't match-context pressure; it's a genuine step back. Community confirms he's replaced Melican and looks settled in the backline (T3), so job security holds. At $259.4k the role looks right but two-round consistency is needed before calling it locked. Watch.
