We might be stuck with Melican for another year, but if we can get him off our books we might look at recruiting a developing ruckman.

Not sure that's the case. At the moment we have three retirements from our senior list, one delisting from our Cat A rookie list and one from our Cat B rookie list. But also two Cat A rookies who've been on the rookie list for three seasons so need to be accommodated on the senior list and one Cat B rookie who's been there for two years and so, prima facie, needs to be accommodated on the Cat A rookie list. And one extra rookie picked up in the MSD.

So with no more changes we would have one spot spare on the senior list, no spare spots on the Cat A rookie list and two spare spots on the Cat B rookie list.
