Could be one of the worst dreams teams for a long time

The SL Dream Team should play their NRL counterparts as a curtain raiser to the World Cup...... I think that would just about show what a joke these selections are.

The only 2 players I agree with are Charnley & Peacock.

If this is the best team SL can muster statistically, the standard of our league really is very poor.

That's a non sequitur. The standard IS poor and this isn't the best team we could put out.

well any slight hopes we had aboot mickey as man of steel just took a big

well noted FMC
I think only dreamteamers get shortlisted

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

Myler is the best scrum half in the competition.
Joel Monaghan is a try machine.
Micky Higham has been outstanding this season.
Chris Hill has been brilliant in almost every single game, only Peacock has been better in SL this season.

I'm expecting someone to come on and say "only joking, this is the real team:" any time soon...

Seems that you can now choose what games you play in, and what games you are "injured" for, miss a quarter/third of the season through "injury" and yet still get in the dream team.

Who's the Dream Team going to be coached by? Tony Rea?

Looking at that team also just shows how far saints have fallen. No players at all.

Well we've fallen all the way from second to second and still have no players in it.

Matty Smith

Yeah, but most of the players in this years dream team have their s licked by Sky on a constant basis. Our lot don't, hence why there are no players from Warrington in there.

Surprised by Roby's admission though; wonder if he'd have played 10 more minutes or so he would have gotten the nod.

As was the MOS until they all got pi$$ed up and voted for James Roby instead of Trent Barrett. Barrett walked the players player and they they changed the MOS voters to the players.

I really give less than one about such rubbish.

Dream Teams mean nowt. International team selections make me scratch my head too, and they actually mean something.
Cast your minds back 21 years, fellas.
A certain William McGinty couldn't even get a bench spot for us, when we were average. He goes to Wigan, and within a few games, he's a starting second rower for the touring GB side, and from memory, played in all 3 Tests that tour.
As far as I'm concerned, I thought Jesus was the only one to have performed miracles on Earth. It seems John Monie could too, in turning Billy into an international standard player.

If your face fits..........

Could Matty Smith manage Lance Todd, Challenge Cup, Sl Champion, Harry Sunderland, Dream Team, MOS and World Cup winner all in the one season?

Billy McGinty ... The king of pineapples.

Looks like the kind of team that people will be saying should have played for England in the world cup if it was picked on form and not just because you play for Leeds, Wigan or Saints like it will be.

Not normally one for stats but comparing Tom Lineham and Joel Monaghan...

Joel has scored 23 try's to Toms 14
Missed 8 Tackles compared to Toms 17
57 Tackle busts compared to 38
272 carrys and 2214 metres compared to 243 and 1960
Joel has made 20 clean breaks, Tom 12
1 penalty given away compared to 4

Clearly Tom Lineham has had the better season!

The whole things is a bit of a farce.

Matty Smith - 3 tries and 10 assists, Are you kidding me?

Tim Smith, Richie Myler, Joe Mellor, Luke Robinson all more deserving. Jordan Tansey was more creative for crying out loud. Disgusting and pathetic.

myler has been the best number 7 this season without a doubt
i hope he is going to be fit for england during the world cup as he would definitely be my starting 7 without a doubt
the lad is all class

I hope so.

i can't argue with any of those shouts

My dream team

1. Dixon
2. Hall
3. Goulding
4. Moon
5. J.Monaghan
6. Chase
7. Myler
8. Hill
9. Higham
10.Scruton
11.Westwood
12.Farrell
13.Sinfield


I'd fancy that team to beat the actual dream team, by some margin.

Obviously it's nothing to worry too much about but the four Wire players I thought might have had a shout to get in were:

Hill, J. Monaghan, Higham and Grix.

Pretty sure Leeds have won a grand final at least once without a single player in the Dream Team.

as did jimmy fairhurst, Neil Courtney, Brian case and Ian potter!
