Also find it fascinating to see teams pick bench players before other positions are filled up.

Unless it's a trading technique it seems a bit of a waste.

I use my bench picks initially on risks that I hope come good and if they don't I just drop them.

Depends on the board so much left that pretty much like for like hence Kaufusi sticking around with others I won’t name for fear of theft lol.

Why bench players get picked in thinner positions before the perceived need, obviously sees a lot of similar players they would be happy to have

Paging Mr Wayne Kerr, Mr Wayne Kerr it's your pick.

All aboard the Hess express

So for me, I've picked Shaun Lane on the bench but still have a WFB and Halves spot to fill.  

Completely agree with you on using bench spots for risk/reward players; which is what Shaun Lane is for me.  He spent a fair bit of time on the bench last year, so he is one of the few that should improve his average.  Thing with Lane though is whether he can keep his try scoring strike rate up at Parra. And whether Arthur does start him. Again, risk/reward.

As far as the Draft situation goes, his average is 10 above what's left in the WFB's and Halves.
I can wait on Halves and WFB's because there is a glut of plodders left all averaging around the same.
Also gives me a chance to have a look at a couple of these trial games for the young Halves we know fuckall about that might be starting Round 1.

The Second Rowers that are left averaging around Lane don't have much room to improve as opposed to him.  He is also DPP, and I have had a man crush on him since his days at the Dogs  

Yey! No Worries picks Farah. It was meant to be!

I'll be picking my bench to trade. Likely to fill my bench before my centres & wfb if theres some value there

After your Wobbie comment I let him go for 3 rounds knowing I'd get owned when I did pick him. But at least for the start of the year I'm going to get 80 minutes and 50 points. I'll worry about replacing him when he starts job sharing.

How about a list of draft name = NRLFF name for League 2 ?

Ahhhh get fucked, ofc its Welshy taking Bateman just before i grab him. Fuck you shit me.
Edit: I'll make my pick in a sec, just don't want to miss this part of the trial.
