OHB Has Back-to-Back 50+ Scores With $2,481 a Round Cash Gen. The 38% Hedging on Ryan Are Burning Their Runway.
Three straight selections. Hold verdict. $172k with a 25 BE. The ruck debate at Richmond is a footy conversation — the SC scoreboard already has the answer.
The thread broke 62/22/12 on whether Oliver Hayes Brown has locked Richmond's ruck role. For a SuperCoach community discussion that is about as clear a read as you will get. But 38% are still on the fence — and the cash gen is running at $2,481 a round whether they are in or not.
The Ruck Debate: What Each Camp Is Seeing
The 62% majority are reading the output: 53 on debut in R5, a breather, back at R8 (33), then back-to-back 53 and 56 to confirm. Samson Ryan has had five years and consistently gets worked over in ruck contests. OHB showed more influence around the ground from debut. The community verdict was direct: the succession has started.
The 22% backing "one last run for Ryan" are not wrong to flag the risk of overloading a young ruck early in his career. The caution is defensible. But they are watching the football club's management calendar, not the SC price machine. OHB scoring 56 in a 36-point Docklands loss — while Richmond were already cooked — is a role confirmation from the scoreboard, not a question mark.
The 12% backing a dual ruck rotation are citing the Hawks blueprint. Possible. But at $172k-ish with a 25 BE, the SC question is not whether Richmond's dual model is sustainable — it is whether OHB keeps clearing his BE. Two rounds running, he has.
What the Registry Shows
Oliver Hayes Brown started the 2026 season at $119.9k injured. Registry: avoid until named and playing. No point speculating on a rookie ruck with no game data.
The data came in Round 5.
R9 verdict: buy. 53 in a losing side. Cash gen +$1,465/rd. $149k. Two straight selections confirmed the role was real.
R10 verdict: hold. 56 in a 36-point loss — clearing a 25 BE by 31 in a match Richmond were already gone in. Cash gen +$2,481/rd. $172k. Cheapest viable ruck cash cow in the competition.
Three straight selections. Back-to-back 50+ in losing sides. The cash gen is confirming what the 62% already decided: the ruck role is his.
The Call
Buy if you do not have him — the window at these prices is closing as the cash gen compounds and the price rises. The 38% waiting for club confirmation are handing over cash gen every round they hold off. The role lock is not coming from a press conference; it is in the consecutive scores in competitive game contexts.
For me this has been a hold since R10. Three straight selections and back-to-back 50+ is the signal. The ruck debate at Richmond is for footy fans. For SC coaches the number that matters is $2,481 a round, a 25 BE, and three straight selections.
