Senior & Hall in Super League dream team!

No McGuire?

I've got to say i'm surprised we have any in there and even more so Mcguire isn't there.

No Tomkins at no.6. To be fair, the rules on voting means that they have to vote for a player on the basis of their starting position in the majority of games. So they press could not vote for Tomkins at no.1, even though he has played his best rugby from full-back for me and only just played at 6 more times than at 1 during the regular season!

Bloody O'Loughlin at 13... what a joke!

Full side is -

1 Wellens
2 Richards
3 King
4 Senior
5 Hall
6 Tomkins
7 Dobson
8 Graham
9 Roby
10 Morley
11 Westwood
12 Tomkins
13 O'Loughlin

Who would you have instead? I reckon he's had a good season myself.

i think he's over-rated but not surprised he's there this year because he's been good for them this year imo.

I have never seen it mate I just don't rate him, but not sure Sinfield deserves it either!

The rules don't allow it but I would put Tomkins at 1 and McGuire at 6, so if Wellens make the plane to Aus McBanana wants his bumps feeling!

I think it's shocking Mcbanana is on the plane anyway mate so i'm not concerned about who is selected tbh.

I thought captain slow retired from international RL?

This also means that Cunningham is unlikely to get MOS if the press don't rate him over Roby, so for me in order Richards, Graham/Morley (struggling to separate them) & Senior.

I don't think Senior should be in the running mate tbh he has had a decent enough last couple of months ball in hand and was superb at Warrington and in the CC Semi to name a couple of games but defensively like our team he's been below past standards by some distance.

But they have come out of retirement before... but lets hope so! He is still a great club player and he was outstanding in his day but now he is past international level and speed is the issue!

Although he turned and caught McGuire at KR earlier this year, but he seems a shoe-in

He is well & truly in 4th place and it was a close call between him and King for 4th TBH... maybe a bit of bias on my part, so lets say Senior in 5th then!

No problem with Sinfield not getting in, He's not been great this year.

Selective memory!



You know he is not a potent enough force in respect of returning the ball and turning defence into attack, although his support play and tackling, if he is close enough, is still up to international level. Tomkins at FB, McGuire at 6 and Eastmond 7 would be my choice for England. Widdop in squad as he can cover both FB and half-back. Myler should stay at home and Dobson should get his squad place.

Don't worry, I wouldn't have Wellens anywhere near my England team.

Tomkins is a must for full back (Kyle/McGuire halves), or Widdop if Eastmond is unfit (Tomkins/McGuire halves).

Can't really take much notice of these things anymore, especially as I don't see anything really of most of the players - the odd game when they play Leeds, that's about it.
Looks like a reasonable selection based on relative club success this year.

Same as all fans who will never get to see every player play every game, even the highlights are try's only but it wont stop X fans declaring that our player has been better than your player all year.

Where's TMFMISL?????? Surely an oversight???

Mods.....Can we rename this thread 'Super League Dream Team - No TMFMISL!!!'

Agreed.

Senior's selection, in what for him has, overall, been a relatively poor year, still shows that he's the best british centre in SL which is a sad indictment for our game.

McGuire desrved a place but that is the only non Leeds selection I could raise an argument for.

FTV, has Graham been up there this year? Seems to have been a down year compared to previous from what I have seen though, to be fair, I may be letting the way we did him in the semi cloud my judgment.

Forwards are about right but the backs look poor IMO. Off the top of my head I think this team would have been much better:

S Tomkins
P Richards
M King
C Bridge
R Atkins
R Chase
D McGuire
J Graham
J Roby
A Morley
B Westwood
J Tomkins

Ben Harrison.

Last year I agreed with the team in total. This year I am shocked. Would never have had Senior, Hall, Dobson, Roby, or O'Loughlin in there.

But do neither do all the press who voted!!! So to be fair, not sure what your point is unless you do not have Sky and or don't watch many Sky games. I see the majority of our games and the majority of Sky games...
