Sam Powell-Pepper sat out Round 3 injured and remains a non-starter for selection at $375.4k with a 55 BE and no average to anchor confidence. At this price point coaches need certainty on role and fitness, and neither exists right now. Avoid until he's fit, named, and confirmed in a productive forward position.
