Sorry about that headmaster.
Often one asks these kinds of questions because you want to nail a fact down and people come up with vague thoughts and you realise that you have wasted their time by not requesting exactly.
Thanks for those links, but I had already seen them.
My real question is: who have the rookie contracts this year?
Jones, Swanepoel and Hunt are listed as having rookie contracts.
Inman and McCalman are rookies in the sense that they haven't played S14 before but it's possible that one or both have full contracts, though that would be unusual. Part of the conditions of a rookie contract is that such players have to do more technical work for their position.
Assuming that all 5 have rookie contracts for 2010 - that is the limit for the amount of rookie contracts a S14 franchise can have (IIRR).
So: Tyrrell's contract position is anomalous, because he would make 6.
It is trainspotting in its highest form but is significant in some situations. Sometimes a player is listed as having a contract but it's a professional Academy contract, which means his franchise, or another franchise, could pick him in a subsequent year as one of their rookie quota - and every franchise has to have at least 3 rookie contracts each year.
Thus the query about Tyrrell.
