Xerri put up 120 in a tight 8-point loss to Sydney — solid premium output against a quality opponent with Grundy in the ruck. Not the 164/150 of his last two outings but still 19 points above his 101 BE, and 120 in a contested arm-wrestle counts. Cash gen has flatlined meaning the price has peaked; you are not getting a discount waiting. Hold with conviction if you own him. If you need a premium ruck, pull the trigger now — the R14 run of WCE, RIC, ESS is a scoring window worth owning.
