Shadeau Brain is still listed and yet to debut, with Brisbane's back six offering little obvious pathway for a $125.7k rookie defender. The red signal reinforces what the numbers show — zero average, zero cash generation, and a locked-in Lions defence ahead of him. Avoid; there are better rookie DEF options generating real cash elsewhere.
