Cooper Simpson remains listed and didn't play in R3, offering nothing at $178.9k with no average and a 26 BE accumulating pressure. Red intel confirms there's no clear path into Fremantle's 22, and with better cash cows available at comparable prices, Simpson is a rookie trap. Avoid entirely until he forces his way into selection conversations.
