Rising Star nominee and the hardware is deserved — 96 in a genuine home win over GWS, composed across half back in the role that was Liam Duggan's for years. At 5 games he's still generating $12,519/wk from a $122k start price, meaning there are still 2-3 rounds of cash to squeeze. Hold firmly if you own him; if you somehow don't, buy this week before the window closes completely.
