Again I think list sizes will be impacting some of these decisions.
It appears that list sizes will drop to around 40. We will take 2-3 picks in the draft (1st pick, MRJ and maybe Baxter), so we need to open up to 37-38 spots so we can take those 2-3 in the draft.
We are at 41 with the following out of contract players, Egg, Houli, Broad, Markov, Garthwaite, Miller, Pickett and Aarts.
With it being reported we are offering Broad, Houli, Aarts (going off Dimmas comments after the GF) and Pickett extensions so that leaves Egg, Markov, Garthwaite and Miller as out of contract players with potentially Higgins being traded.
To get those 3 in, we need to cut 4 from the list and there are 5 named above.
Unfortunately, I think Markov will be a victim of the decrease in list sizes rather than us not wanting to keep him. I could see us pushing harder to keep him if list sizes remained at 44 but thats looking unlikely.
