Year of the Tiger 2019

:)

Nice team. Provision for Fort and Bines F/R with Westoff if you decode after JLT not to start Gawn. Love the defence especially if Mills gets the mid time that has been touted for the last two seasons. Good one, cheers mate.

;)

Thanks Sabre..Let 2019 season begin!!

1st pick after JLT 1, any feedback appreciated.

[HoleMeal]

Really hard to fault other than your R2 which I cannot agree with.
I would go Greene to a rookie and get a better R2.

Other than that, great team.

Cheers HoleMeal, will watch R2 very closely through JLt. Happy to run skinny at the moment.

What happens if both Clarke and Fort line up round 1 and then are both dropped by round 3?

Reasons for Nank at R2?
As a tigers supporter I am unsure he will average 100+

Averaged 98 in 2018..played 21 games.. like his consistency and reliability.. Also considering Mummy after round 3. If Fort plays early, Mummy's value is so good..

Are you concerned that he has the bad bye? Good idea re Mummy and Fort, the ruck situation this year definitely has plenty of options!

Thanks for feedback Tommy..So with less risk and starting with English at R2 the structure of this side is more interesting in def and mids. Will upgrade to Mummy after suspension is served.. if required.

Solid team, I like the McGrath pick, should 100% go to another level this year.

Not sold on the English pick. R2 his been a PITA this year. Probably a bit too pricey down back as well. I'd look at only starting one to two guys over 500k. A lot of value in the 400k region and it looks like there will be some decent rookie options as well.
