Will this be the first year that Leeds don't get any players in it (assuming this hasn't happened before)?

I can't think of anyone likely to get a place.

Doubt we'll see any Leeds players.

Possible candidates?

FB: Tomkins
Wing: Richards/Monaghan
Centre: Carmont/King
SO: Chase
SH: Dureau
Hooker: Roby
Props: Graham/Carvell
SR: Hoffman/Wilkin
LF: Puletua

Who have Leeds' best been? JJB? Can't see him getting anywhere in the back row stakes.

Wilkin is probably some bias shining through, but he has been genuinely excellent this season, and I'd guess his stats match up to most. Maybe Westwood instead?

water carrier is putting a shift in imo

If there is an award for worst stage prop of the year my vote goes to the infamous rubber glove.

Kirke would be in my nightmare team.

Along with Delaney at centre, Ablett in the other centre position, Hauraki anywhere and Sinfield at stand off ...... Er .....wait a minute ! ! !

I can understand Bias, we all do it. But personally, If we were picking a super league dream team today, then I would say only Chase and Dureau are the only shoe ins from the list you have picked.

O'Donell for example is a far better player and better season than Puletua. Westwood has been better than the other two SR you have give a shout for. I would guess Bridge and Atkins would also be in the running for the centre spot.

In truth, only one player really really stands out as the star of super league this year, and that's Chase. He is an absolute certaintly for MOS even now, with still some of the season to go. How many times has a player got MOS for a team out of the top six?

Macdermott for coach of the year?

The funny thing is, Huddersfield will finish in the top 4 and i can't think of any of their players who i would put in it. Maybe o'donnell and that's about it.

Brough would be a decent shout for 7.

Roby or Michael Monaghan will get MoS, with Westwood and Chase on the shortlist.

I know the season isn't over, but if it was picked now then Dureau is nailed on for the number 7 shirt.

Chase won't/shouldn't get MOS no where near as consistent as M.Monaghan ,Westwood ,Brough ,Dureau or Roby.

From this season so far it will probably be
1 Eastmond
2 Ainscough
3 Gleeson
4 Sykes
5 Raynor
6 ???
7 Herbert
8 Kirke
9 Godwin
10 Moore
11 Ali
12 Sibbitt
13 Langley

Realistically
1 Tomkins (S)
2 D.Hodgson
3 King
4 Carmont
5 Richards
6 Chase
7 Dureau
8 Morley
9 Roby
10 Graham (always in)
11 Hoffman
12 Westwood
13 Sinfield (reckon Sinny will get in) if not O'Loughlin

i know i'm biased but tom briscoe is surely in the running for a wing spot

think this more or less happened to hull the year we got to the grand final 2006

I can't imagine Leeds had many contenders for a spot in '96 if the mythical selection was around for SL1.



Keith Senior.

i know he's not leeds, but without any question, i would have menzies in there - in fact when you factor his age in he is an outside shout for MOS

Out of people not mentioned Kirk Yeaman and Steve Menzies would be in mine.

More or less, yes, although Yeaman made the line-up:

2006:
Paul Wellens
Justin Murphy, Jamie Lyon, Kirk Yeaman, David Hodgson
Danny McGuire, Sean Long
Stuart Fielden, Keiron Cunningham, Danny Nutley
Gareth Ellis, Jon Wilkin, Kevin Sinfield

For me ablett has been our best, hall will probably be the nearest Leeds player. Despite the lack of centre has still managed to score

1. Tomkins
2. Blanch
3. King
4. Carmont
5. j. Monaghan
6. Chase
7. Dureaux
8. Graham
9. Roby
10. Mossop
11. Westwood
12. Hoffmann
13. O Loughlin

14. Carvell
15. Menzies
16. Puletua
17. M. Monaghan

At the moment, because the 'Dream Team' has quite a fundamental rule, can you pick Sinfield at 13? I suspect at the moment he would have to be picked at no 6 because that has been his most listed starting position so far!

Yeah sure, that's why every club going pinpoint him as the danger man. Sorry, but that is not true at all. Consistency, you may well have a point. But when he has delivered it has been way and above any other player, and that is what will stick in the selectors minds. And that delivery has been enough times to warrant it.
