rather than asking for your dream teams this year I thought it would be a better idea to ask who you would put forward from your club. given that there is no limit to individuals from any one team being included you can nominate as many players as you like but please keep it realistic (not your whole team). I think 5 would be a happy medium, if you think that your team deserve that many places, if not then less. hopefully we can then get an idea of who might be figuring in the final line up. to keep it interesting you can also nominate 3 players from rival teams
from my team hull fc
shaul
sneyd
Houghton
ellis
minichello

from rival teams
solomona (cas)
atkins (warrington)
gale (cas)

AND can we not have a dream team nominations for the best crap players

could call that one the nightmare team!

Jowitt
Johnstone
Miller
Finn
Ashurst

Rivals

Ellis
Snyed
Solomona

I would be surprised if any Wigan players were in it.

Three Wigan players were originally nominated, but wane appealed so now there aren't any!

Scott Taylor has been the best prop in SL this season.

Dorn
Solomona
Gale
Millington
Moors
Mcmeekan

Houghton
Dave Taylor
Broughton
Sandow
Ellis
Shaul

Sneyd
Houghton
Taylor
Ellis
Shaul

Gale
Solomona
Sandow

Solomona is a certainty.
Gale should be in alongside Sneyd in the halves.

Some other Cas players have been very good in patches - Moors, McMeekan, Dorn.
Millington never has a bad game. Webster has been very good and faces little competition from any other centre this year.

1. Dorn/Shaul (will be a close call).
2. Manfredi.
3. Webster
4. Percival
5. Solomona
6. Gale
7. Sneyd.
8. Taylor
9. Houghton (although Clarke has been very good too, there is only one place in the dream team!).
10. Hill
11. Bateman.
12. Minichello.
13. Westerman.

Apart from Solomona, I don't think any wingers have been as good as Manfredi.

Dunno about Webster but can't really think of anyone who particularly deserves to be in there over him. Think Ellis has been better than both Bateman and Minichiello too so swap him for either of them or maybe Bateman at loose and Ellis in for Westerman.

From Huddersfield, in my opinion our 5 best performers in no order i would say

McGillvary
Cudjoe
Rapira
Roberts
Lawrence

If i was to pick a dream team, from what I've seen

Shaul
Broughton
Percival
Cudjoe
Solomona
Gale
Sneyd
Hill
Houghton
Taylor
Ellis
Minichello
McMeeken

If you listen to Eddie the big fat kicking forward and the bald back rower from Catalans would both be in the DT.

Have a read through those suggested Dream Teams and see if anyone can seriously argue that the standard in Super League is not slipping alarmingly.

That full team would struggle to get a gig in the NRL (other than for the god awful Knights). Hill would possibly get a gig at a couple of the poor teams, Mini and Ellis likewise but too old to realistically happen.

Gale was approached by a number of NRL clubs before he signed long-term at Cas.
However, considering NRL clubs have previously signed the likes of Greg Eden and Ben Crooks, they seem to be willing to take a gamble!

talanoa has been excellent, gains yards easily coming off our line


it showed how much we missed him v cas a few weeks ago

They can take a gamble because the majority of players in Super League, particularly ones like Eden and Crooks can be signed on 2nd tier contracts or little more and they're sill earning more than they would in the UK.

Other than the Knights, Gale would struggle to get a game at any other NRL club when all 1st choice are available - he'd be a squad man at best.

From Wire:
Atkins
Clark
Currie
Hill
Sandow

From other sides:
Ellis
Lomax
Solomona

Yes, possibly.
The irony of it all is two of the best players this year play at 9, and there is only one place in the team. Every other position has two places to fill (more or less).

It'll only get better.

yeah but i wanted to limit myself to 5 nominations. the other 5 have also been immense this season so i had to cut one. ellis and mini best backrowers in the league in my opinion, shaul has been best fullback, likewise houghton and sneyd in their positions

so they'll almost certainly go for roby then

I wouldn't like to have to choose between Shaul and Dorn.

A bit like the useless hooker from HKR struggling in the NRL Green machine team
