Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere. But do we still have 1 list spot to fill prior to 15 March? This article suggests we do. If so, I imagine we are waiting to see how pre-season goes with injuries / form etc before filling?

I thought they were going to wait until the mid season draft to fill it.

Yes, it will be around mid year when Cyril announces he has the hunger again, and we mosey on in and pick him up!

Which raises the question...who is eligible to be selected in the mid-season draft? Anyone? Or, anyone who puts their name on a list? Are there any exclusions (such as retirees who retired in the last x number of months)?, etc.

More exotically, could a player retire at the beginning of a season and then be drafted by another team during the year? 

We need another ruckman.

I'd rather we apply for the cloning of Gawny. Get another 2, one to intercept in the back half and one to be a threat up forward. The original Gawn could just park himself in the middle!

PS - whilst we're at it, get them to throw in a TMAC clone, allowing him to go back as well and replace Oscar

Injuries.

That's why we will wait until the last minute to use this pick...we don't know what injuries we may get and where we will need coverage.

Another year older and another preseason in the gym and hopefully Oscar is a practically a T Mac clone anyway.  Also one that can keep playing for a few years after Tommy retires as well.
