So we have 7 off the senior list currently, Jansen and Walker are looking likely trade outs so thats 9, and Simpson and Kersten are still uncontracted.
I am fairly confident that at this stage we will get all of Danger, Scooter, Henderson and a ruckman (probably Smith). So that would leave us with 5 spots to fill or 6 if we move Simpson on (which is likely).
After trades it is probably likely that our firsts and seconds will be gone so we will have #46, #64 #82 and #96 but the last two of those picks will move up as most teams wont pick beyond 60 so it might be say #46 #64 #70 and #71. We would still be hoping to get some 3rd or 4th rounders back from Adel/Carl/GC in the trades I think, unless we are going to try and trade any of next year's picks for picks this year in swaps with other clubs.
The other two options I suppose are bringing DFA's in from other clubs or we we could run at 38 + 6 normal rookies (Luxford and Lucey are outside the normal rookie list anyway) instead of 40 + 4 normal rookies which means 2 less senior spots we fill and saves on cap space, with 2 nominated rookies.
