The powerful full-forward has returned to Huonville this year following a 27-goal TSL season which included bags of five against Launceston and North Hobart.
The Tigers boast an ominous midfield with ex-Gold Coast Sun Mackenzie Willis joining Kieran Lovell, Lachie Clifford and Will Campbell in the centre, but should also be potent up forward despite Paul's absence.

"Mick kicked 27 goals last year, but Tyler Carter kicked 27 for us too so we expect Tyler to keep improving," Baumeler said.
"Luke Graham's another one who in 2018 made the team of the year, he probably didn't have a season last year up to his own standards.
"He was a little bit interrupted with some injury and a suspension as well, so Luke will step up and we've got Cooper Sawdy coming back into our senior team.
"He had some injury issues last year and mainly played development and I think he was the leading goalkicker in that competition, so he'll come back into our mix as well which is really exciting."
