I don't see the problem.

He probably could have been a rookie player last season too, but the club needed to make up the 20 player quota.

This season it's more beneficial for him to be in the rookie position, which technically his contract would allow (signed as a rookie).

There are so many ways to rort this cap if you need to that it should be run by the ATO.
I think the point is he can't be considered a rookie when he was a contracted senior player last season. It kind of defeats the main qualifier of the rule.
