Ridley managed just 28 before being subbed off with calf tightness in the R6 away loss to Gold Coast (110-119). Community consensus is emphatic: Brad Scott confirmed a zero-risk policy, scans were booked next day, and a 3-4 week absence is the base case. Given his chronic soft-tissue history this pattern is a hard sell — you cannot trust him to stay on park, and his $418.8k price tag now actively hurts your squad.
