I've joined the second league created (161835). 3 spots remaining for anyone interested

 

[tiger_scott]

Looks like Lukw is in there twice (draft 455845)

 

[Harvey]

Lukw is in twice with same team name.

Can’t seem to remove him on phone, will try on pc.

 

[Harvey]

Lukw's 2nd team has been removed. One spot left in supercoach draft league 455845 with draft set for 3:45 10/3

Be interesting to see how we all go drafting Tigers players. I played draft last year and made a strong point of not picking too many Tigers, as I think I over value them due to my "one-eyedness". I think I only drafted Twal. At some stages of the season though, I think I had 7 of the boys running around. This was in a league of 20, with 6 starters and 6 reserves, so 7 of my 12 wore the black, white and gold. Obviously there isn't 84 Tigers, so we can't all go crazy, but it will be fun to see how this shakes out.

2018 saw Ivan Cleary enforce an economical style of football on the West Tigers, with a strong emphasis on playing safe and grinding out games. These tactics ultimately lead to the Tigers becoming one of the least SuperCoach relevant teams in 2018\. However, with Cleary moving to the Panthers, Michael Macguire is now at the helm for Wests, presenting plenty of mystery surrounding what brand of football the Tigers will play.

**SIGN UP TO SUPERCOACH AND SELECT YOUR TEAM TODAY**

There are still some players who SuperCoaches will be keeping a keen eye on. David Nofoaluma and Esan Marsters have consistently been among the best CTW options in recent years, Mahe Fonua was an absolute wrecking ball in 2018, and new recruit Ryan Matterson will be one to watch after putting out some strong performances for the Roosters in 2019\. There are also some old faithfuls for SuperCoaches to consider in the new season, Robbie Farah presents himself as POD option, while Elijah Taylor provides a stable base at a discounted price.

**PLAYER MOVEMENT**

In: Paul Momirovski (Roosters), Ryan Matterson (Roosters), Sam MacIntyre, Thomas Mikaele, Dylan Smith

Out: Tuimoala Lolohea (Super League), Kevin Naiqama (Super League), Sauaso Sue (Bulldogs), Tim Grant (Panthers), Malakai Watene-Zelezniak (Panthers), Pita Godinet (released).

**BYE:** Round 16.

**THE GUNS**

**ESAN MARSTERS | CTW | $568,500 | 2018 Avg. 60.8**

The case for Marsters is a strong one, the centre boasts great base stats from a high work rate and added goal-kicking responsibilities giving him a high floor in what is one of the more volatile positions in SuperCoach. He’s a player that should give you 50-70 points per week with the ability to go large with added attacking stats. For SuperCoaches looking to splash the cash on a premier CTW to build their team around, look no further than Marsters.

**DAVID NOFOALUMA | CTW | $483,500 | 2018 Avg. 51.7**

‘Nofa’ could have easily been included in the POD section of this piece as he currently sits at an astonishing 1% ownership! But the fact of the matter is he’s a proven gun in SuperCoach. Although 2018 was not the greatest year for Nofa, who found himself left out of the side for Round 1, his base stat numbers were still solid at around 30 points per game. The winger was a casualty of the Tigers lack of attacking capabilities in 2018, only crossing the line six times. He should see more attacking opportunities in 2019 if the Tigers play a more free-flowing style of football, which could see him reach the heights of 2016 and 2017 where he averaged 60 and 64 respectively. At 1% ownership and at about a $100,000 shy of what he should be valued at, Nofa is certainly one to watch.


Tigers Elijah Taylor scores a try.

**THE VALUE PICK: ELIJAH TAYLOR | 2RF/HOK | $435,600 | 2018 Avg. 46.6**

2019 is the year of the mid-ranger and Elijah Taylor is no exception. The back-rower comes at a very juicy $435,600 and provides a genuine money making option for SuperCoaches who are looking to go against the grain with their back-row options. He also provides dual-position flexibility at HOK which could see him as a more valuable option than other mid-rangers such as Joe Stimson and Matt Gillett. Taylor should put up around 35-45 in pure base stats alone per game, which should see his value rise enough to move him on for a fallen gun down the line.

**THE PODS**

**ROBBIE FARAH | HOK | $581,100 | 2018 Avg. 60.2**

The former SuperCoach great has flown under the radar of late, in 2018 he showed that he has still got what it takes to keep up with the best hookers in the game, averaging a very respectable 60.2\. Farah’s stock looks set to hold its value in 2019, with Benji Marshall’s return to form potentially pushing Josh Reynolds into a bench utility role, which would see backup hooker Jacob Liddle miss out on a spot in the 17 and see Farah play big minutes.

******The man with the best hair in the NRL set the competition alight in 2018 before unfortunately breaking his arm in Round 15\. Fonua showed serious SuperCoach potential with barnstorming runs and the ability to break tackles and offload at will. He currently sits at 3% ownership and could certainly be a sleeper in SuperCoach 2019.******

******

Paul Momirovski has crossed from the Roosters to the Tigers this year******

********THE CHEAPIE: PAUL MOMIROVSKI | CTW | $238,600 | 2018 Avg. 50.1********

******A good signing from the Roosters, Momirovski comes with high praise and should be first cab off the rank if one of the Tigers outside backs go down. Trent Robinson was a huge fan of Momirovski, giving him the nod to replace Latrell Mitchell in the Roosters preliminary final in 2018\. He’s currently flying under the radar at 6% ownership but you can expect that number to skyrocket if he is named.******

********THE TRAP: RYAN MATTERSON | 2RF | $521,500 | 2018\. Avg. 55.7********

******Ryan Matterson was a breakthrough star in SuperCoach last season before having a horror run of concussions which saw his output fade in the back half of the season. The young back-rower came with dual-position flexibility at both CTW and 2RF, the former of which he has unfortunately lost heading into the new season. While there is no doubt Matterson has strong SuperCoach pedigree, his awkward price tag, lack of dual-position flexibility, and the uncertainty surrounding how he will go at a new club make him a no go from Round 1.******
