Xerri Scored 199, 164, and 150 in His Best Three Rounds. He Just Posted 43 at $631k. His Average Has Crashed From 128 to 87.
The best ruckman in SuperCoach 2026 just posted the worst score of his season. The sell window is closing fast.
Three months ago, Tristan Xerri was the safest pick in the competition. 199 in Round 2. 150 on return from suspension in Round 7. 164 against Geelong in Round 8. If you owned him, you were printing points and captaining with conviction.
How Does a 128 Average Become 87?
Strip out the peaks and the picture changes fast. Xerri's R3 score of 68 came with an injury concern. He then copped a three-week suspension — that's three rounds of zeroes eating into your scoring. When he came back, the 150 and 164 looked like vintage Xerri, and the 120 in R9 still cleared his 101 BE comfortably.
But something shifted. By R13, he'd posted 43 against a 100 BE. That's not a "bad week for me" dip — that's a 57-point miss that drags a season average off a cliff. His avg has bled from 128-ish down to 87. At $631k with a 100 BE, he needs triple-figure scores just to hold price. Cash gen has flipped negative at around -$200 a week.
The premium ruck tax is real and it's costing you every round you hold from here.
The Sunk Cost Problem
At 36% ownership earlier in the season, a lot of coaches locked Xerri in during that monster 199/150/164 window. The problem is that window is closed. His price has dropped roughly $56k from peak, and every week he scores below 100 you're bleeding another $5-7k in value you could redeploy elsewhere.
You remember the 199. You remember captaining him for 164. But those scores are history — the question is whether he can sustain 100+ from here. The R13 data says probably not, and holding a $631k ruck on hope alone is the kind of move that costs you a top-1000 finish.
What the Registry Says
Sell. The underlying numbers make the call louder than it looks on paper. Xerri at $631k with an 87 average and negative cash gen is a premium spot that's actively losing you money. The R7 buy call at confidence 9 was right then. The R13 sell is right now.
If you're looking to move the cash, Jordon Sweet at $456k-ish is averaging 91.7 with a 75 BE and positive cash gen — would expect similar upside without the premium price tag. That's where the value has shifted for me.
