No that is incorrect. Players have won MOS without being in the dream team. Dream team is chosen by the press.

WOT no "Giants"

A Giants squad that finished one point ahead of a Warrington squad that didn't even bother turning up for their two games against Widnes. Had they done so (turned up versus Widnes) then that Warrington squad would have topped the pile with no Dream Team players. Maybe not so



after all!

It's all down to opinions, and clearly the journalists opinions are worth jack ****. I would love to know whether the 'journos' all got together and chose to leave out the antipodeans with it being a world cup year, or were they asked to do so by the RFL.

Does this argument about "not turning up against Widnes" hold for other years too?

When Cullen was coach we would have about 10 or 12 games a season when we didn't turn up (often including against Widnes).

Can we retrospectively claim some league titles if we count those as wins if we'd turned up?

Still no saints players ?



I know we don't deserve any this year but your selection is nearly as bad as the official one.

Goulding is pure garbage. Dixon cannot defend full stop. Scruton is average at best and should not come before Peacock. And Farrell is completely over rated and bigged up ont Sky. When ratboy is not around Farrell's only move ends up with no result; he is one dimensional .

I struggle to think of anything I give less of a toss about than the SL Dream Team (just enough to post on it). A few names stand out as being odd inclusions, Laughable Matty Smith being one. This isn't a Wigan thing either - Charnley has been one of the best players in the league this year and is a genuine try scoring threat regardless of where he is on the field, or whether he's in a hotel room with his todger out and a camera phone (allegedly).

The most eye catching thing is the nationality. If the players vote for it, then fine. But, if the press vote for it and its part of some idea to "big up" national players ahead of the World Cup a la Sinfield's Golden Boot then I dispair. The Sinfield pick was clearly for policitcal reasons. And again, this isn't an anti Leeds thing - Kevin Sinfield is an absolutely superb captain and player for Leeds. But he isn't the best player in the World and these 13 aren't the best players in Superleague.
