68 in a 2-point home loss to the Bulldogs — three consecutive above-65 scores in genuinely competitive games, including two losses decided by 1-2 points. That is floor confirmation from a DEF player. Cash gen is flat at +$420/wk but he is covering his 46 BE every week. At $315.4k he will not make you rich but he will not leak value either. Hold with conviction.
