2019 Defenders

[Mat0369]

I had Harry in my team for so long and changed him to Ridley with 1/2day to go. Ridley better do something special.

As for my backs, I've gone with Lloyd, Hurn and Shaw. I reckon all three will do well :)

While Lloyd is a bit underdone I really like these three options.

I'm backing Ridley to perform. Best to keep a little extra cash just in case something goes haywire and you can always turn him into Taylor if he keeps it up. No Hendo is probably the best option for him as well and keeps the team fairly balanced down back. Hendo looked awful in the one JLT game I caught.

Yeah, I've kept 120k for team stuff ups. Last season I spent all my money and was stuck before round 3 price rises.

Harris Andrews v Whitfield vs hurn

Have this amazing feeling about Andrews but is it true he’ll be playing forward? Surely not!

[Mat0369]

I'd think Hurn after seeing the points rack up when he plays on in tight games for cheap stats.

Could you possibly start a Whitfield/hurn/smith combo or do you need one of Lloyd and laird?

I really want to fit Laird and Hurn in but don't believe I can get the funds. I'm not sold on Whitfield averaging more than 95 if he plays the majority of games on the wing, but I think 2 premiums including Hurn with Smith at D3 is more than enough.

Andrews I suspect will be thrown forward at times possibly swapping with McStay but think that may be as a last resort. Andrews is a sound mark. Will be interesting to see what happens when Adams is fit.
Of the three you named would go Hutn, Andrews, Whitfield.

95 for a defender isn't good enough for you? *giggles*

It's perfectly fine, but I think I'd rather fork out a little more for Laird or a little less for Hurn who are both likely to score that and some

[Mat0369]

Laird a casual 9 touches and 37 SC in the first. Sicily 8 for 38.

Smith looks like a deer in the headlights so far

Smith was a lot better that quarter thank god

Laird up to 65 as well. My gut said grab the guys taking kick outs so I ended up going with Hurn/Shaw instead. I couldn't get the cash for Laird.

That’s why I said to grab Witherden instead to go with Laird instead of Shaw. Laird was never gonna leave my side.

Smith really doesn't like the physicality of the game

Hopefully can get to at least 80. Will take that for a poor game from him given the low floor he has shown in the past when playing bad
