That's great, sorry for having an opinion that you don't agree with. As I've said the other sides will all be coming harder at you guys this year given you are favourites. If I'm wrong then so be it.
You beat us in the first week of the finals, that's fine.....doesn't change my opinion on what is going to happen this year.
Your fullback/halfback position is not settled.
Lote is past his best on the wing, and Beau Ryan is an average 1st grader.
Gibbs will be a loss for you. Heighnington I personally believe has seen his football. Yes I know he played for England, but we'll see how he goes this year.
I don't think you have the depth in the forwards.
As I said, it's my opinion and you don't need to agree with it.
People have suggested my team will be bottom 4, I haven't questioned their opinions.
FWIW I tend to agree with some of your assessments. I only questioned your initial post because we had a shocking injury toll last season and still finished 4th which says that we do have some depth.
IMO the Tigers should not be outright favourites given the question marks over fullback and halfback, two of the most important positions in the side. I've never rated Moltzen but fingers crossed he can make the #7 his own. Will need to develop a kicking game, otherwise we are in trouble. Fullback is wide open, need someone to step up here though there are plenty of options.
If Lote stays injury free he'll be fine, still has plenty to offer on and off the park IMO.
Agreed on Ryan, though I would go one step further and say he is a below average first grader at best.
Gibbs definitely a loss, though somewhat offset by being replaced by Blair.
Personally I think Heighington is overrated, nothing more than a solid, hard working first grader. Not rep material. Liam Fulton is a much better player.
I think we are a top four side, but outright favourites, definitely not.
