Hi all, decided to get myself a team together as a mate pressed me to play. Having not done the research others have done, I’ve slapped a team together based on round 1 teams.
Koroisau + B.Brailey
Haas, Fifita + Taunoa-Brown and Jolliffe
Taumalolo, Matterson and Fifita + L.Knight, Carrigan and Tupouniua
Moses + Walters
G.Williams + Luai
W.Blake, Fusitu'a, Doueihi and Tuala + Watkins, Kennedy and Wiliame
Tedesco + Papenhuyzen
Purposely went hard in the fullbacks as Pap will be a gun with no one taking fullback minutes from him, expect him to be priced out of a lot of people's teams by round 4-5. Knight and Carrigan have good roles to start the season off, but probably will have lessened roles when injured players are back.
Don't think I've ever gone into a season without a top tier hooker, but the two I've picked were too hard to ignore.
Walters pick is inspired by the fact the year that Addo-Carr and Mitch Moses came into the Tigers squad, they did a info day with the kids and were decent cheapies. Walters has visited my work, so therefore he's in (and the fact he has a friendly role).
Haas is a no-brainer, should play a lot of minutes in a SC friendly role. A.Fifita is a touch risky but hoping his class shows through and he can play a decent amount of minutes.
Feel like Moses will have a big start to the season vs the Bulldogs as he carved up early last season. With Matterson on one of the edges, I think they'll combine very well hence both being in my team.
Centres are my weakest position, but here's hoping Fusitu'a and Blake can deliver. Doueihi is highly dependant on the Tigers playing well, so he could be a bust, but I'm not taking this as seriously as AFL SC so I'm ok with a mistake here and there.
Good luck to all on here, hope your seasons start well!
who will come back round 4. I have Watkins, Shiba, Kennedy and Williame. One of them has to go off I hope!
