Zero Tackle's draft of the NRL hits its first selection round today after all clubs were afforded the opportunity to retain five players on their 2023 Top 30 roster.
All players not selected are now available to be drafted by any club in the game.
The order of the draft will be a snake, working from the bottom of last year's table (we have placed the Dolphins at number 17) up to the minor premiers, and then back down again in the following round.
A reminder that we have broken the teams up across our editorial team to draft the competition.
Here is a reminder of the initial retention round.
Without further ado, here is the first selection round for each team.

Now who is the joker that selected Adam Reynolds for Souths? They’ve decided that Ilias is their new forever half-back (no matter how indifferently he may play), and for Souths to change their minds now would lead to some very red faces!
Tivita Tatola. Good selection. There seems to be a dearth of good, big props who aren’t thugs or getting long in the tooth.
