Probably won't get him, but it's not crazy to think he keeps this up. Has 12 70+ minute second-row games now and has scored 6 tries. So running at a 50% strike rate so far. Small sample obviously. His avg metres are also up from 60 to 90 so far this year.
Disclaimer: he's been a flat track bully with tries against Dragons, Warriors, Broncs x2, Manly and Tigers. But the Roosters don't have the worst draw with Warriors, Sharks, Dragons coming up wedged between tougher games against the Rabbitohs & Storm.
I agree on balance that he probably misses out and has a few 35 games, but if he can continue to avg 60 across the next 3 before those floor scores come, he nets 150k.
