The way the rookie list works these days is you don't need to be elevated anymore to play AFL. So he is there because we want him to be, I can't really see any other explanation.Have no info on whether or not we were happy with his season.
The way I interpreted it at first glance was that we needed or wanted an extra primary list spot based on information we had surrounding the draft, and Kyron was seen as one of the least likely on the primary list to play a game next year based on a ) form b ) strength of his preferred position and ability to cover it with other players b ) other factors known to the club.
Meaning he was the least required on the main to play immediately without being a rookie upgrade.
So we moved him onto the rookie list while paying him the wage he was already receiving. And if he is required we will elevate him using the LTI rule.
Could be that we weren't happy with him, but just another possibility as I saw it
