NRL Draft: Who Goes Where?

With the NFL draft on today, you can bet any amount of money someone will link it back to the NRL and suggest a draft system here.

To answer the question up front; no, I can't see a draft system working in Australia. Everything would have to be restructured and quite honestly we don't have the universities or tafes to produce a college-like system in the US.

BUT ... if there was a draft on, say, Monday evening. Who would go well?

Just to set some rules, let's say every contract is voided. A new season starts in a month and all contracts are four-year deals worth the same amount of money. Reverse finishing order from last year's regular season. I know it's not ideal but it's purely a fantasy.

Of course we could argue for hours (see you in the comments) on the merits of a draft and where players would be drafted at which position and why.

Sea Eagles

Cameron Munster

Manly would be very, VERY tempted to take their superstar number one here, however injury concerns might force them to look to a safer option. Step forward Cameron Munster. Oh how the Sea Eagles fans hate young Cameron, but I'm more than confident in saying they'd open their arms to the elite pivot. Can you imagine the hatred for Munster in a Manly jersey? It's a perfect fit.
