Hi all, this is my first post after many years as a guest reader. Hope I don't make a fool of myself.
My understanding is that the maximum list size for 2022 will be 44 players including up to two on the Rookie B list. Specifically, the primary list must have between 36 and 38 players. Category A rookies are capped at 4-6, up to a total of 42 players on a list including primary-listed players and category A rookies. (Add two category B rookies makes the maximum of 44 players). We only have one Rookie B listed player (Colina) so our maximum for 2022 will be 43 players (unless we sign another category B rookie) comprising 36-38 primary listed players, four-six category A rookies and one category B rookie.
We currently have 29 primary list players and we have six on the Rookie A list (Aarts, Mansell, Millar, Parker, Picket & Stack) so if we re-draft Cumberland and Nyuon onto the Rookie list as the club had indicated, we will need to elevate two players to the Primary list. That would bring our Primary list to 31 leaving five free places. Assuming we fill all five free place at the National draft, that gives us 36 players on the Primary list. Adding the six category A rookies and one category B rookies gives a total of 43 players.
Have I got this right or have I misunderstood the rules? If I'm right we will need to elevate two players to keep the rookie A list to the maximum of 6.
