56 in an 8-point loss to Sydney at Docklands — genuine score in a competitive game, not a stat-padding blow-out. That's back-to-back above-average scores (71 in R8, 56 in R9) after the ugly run of 22, 28, 30 that triggered the R7 sell call. Cash gen is positive at $2,195/round and the price at $213.8k still has room. The inconsistency earlier in the year is the scar tissue here, but two genuine scores in two proper contests is a shift in the pattern. If you sold at R7, the moment has passed — if you held, extract the remaining cash gen and upgrade when he plateaus.
