Bringing in

SJ
Sloan (or anyone under 324)

I have no hooker cover, but Boyd isn't hooker cover when I am starting him anyway.

Will be annoying if Trindall ends up getting more money, but SJ should go up at the same time which cancels it it.

Then need to start figuring out how to get Brailey in the next couple of weeks.

How bad are the Tigers when it comes to restricting the amount of fantasy points opposition score?

The short answer is that it's early season, we've only seen 3 games.
The Tigers attack has been particularly clunky and you can well see that most of their spine missed the majority of pre-season, with some pretty substandard performances.
Their defense has had it's moments, but also some decent moments. They've lost 3 games by an average of a converted try.

When it comes to conceding fantasy points by team, currently the Sharks are the worst, conceding 682 points per game to their opposition.

Currently, the top four teams for conceding the least fantasy points per game are;
Sea Eagles 555
Broncos 577
Tigers  580
Panthers 585

It's maybe worth noting (with Grant playing), that 2023 gun hooker Reed Mahoney managed just 48 points against the Tigers (his other 2 outings 71 vs the Sea Eagles, and 54 vs the Storm).
J Brailey got injured (5 points in 14 minutes). Sam Verrills scored 43 in 80 minutes (a point above his BE).

Maybe the Storm put the Tigers to the sword tonight, maybe it ends up closer than people expect.

Long time lurker first time poster, but for some historical positional data based on matchups, I present the below.

Looking at last season you are seeing a 13 point swing between the best and worst fantasy "defences" at most of the backline positions. Overall last year the gap between the best fantasy "defences" and worst on a team points conceded per game level dropped from 143 points per game in 2020 to 84 points per game in 2022.
