great to see



briscos been robbed tho

Disagree.
Hodgson has been the best fullback in the league this season by some margin.
Has to be up there for man of steel too IMO.

Congrats on having 4 of your players in though.
Thouroughly deserved.

The 2009 Super League Dream Team has been officially announced this afternoon and the squad has had a major shake-up with new debutants, including four players from Hull Kingston Rovers, and two from Huddersfield Giants.

The Hull KR quartet are winger Peter Fox, scrum-half Michael Dobson and second rowers Ben Galea and Clint Newton while Huddersfield’s two representatives are club captain Brett Hodgson and hooker Scott Moore.

The youngest person in the 2009 engage Super League Dream Team is 20-year-old Wigan Warriors stand-off Sam Tomkins, who takes his place in a side featuring three of the most recognisable faces in the competition.

England captain Jamie Peacock is again featured in the front row, where he makes his seventh appearance, while there are recurring Dream Team appearances for two players who have not featured for some time.

Leeds Rhinos centre Keith Senior’s outstanding form earns him a recall to the Dream Team for the first time since 2004 while Adrian Morley dons a Dream Team jersey 10 years after he was last named in Super League’s form side.

Morley, the Warrington Wolves captain, last made the Dream Team in 1999, his last season in Super League before he left Leeds Rhinos to join NRL club Sydney Roosters. When Morley lined up for the commemorative Super League Dream Team photograph in 1999, Tomkins was still two years from High School!

Senior and Peacock are two of four players from engage Super League defending champions Leeds Rhinos, who are also represented by captain Kevin Sinfield – making his fourth appearance – and debutant Ryan Hall, the winger who is Super League’s leading try-scorer in 2009 with 28 tries.

St Helens are represented by centre Matt Gidley, one of five Australians in the 2009 Dream Team.

The engage Super League Dream Team is chosen by a panel of Rugby League journalists and broadcasters who regularly cover the engage Super League competition and is based on form throughout the regular season.

As predicted last week, Rugby League Today correctly guessed 8/13 of last week's unofficial Dream Team.

Brett Hodgson, Peter Fox, Matt Gidley, Ryan Hall, Sam Tomkins, Jamie Peacock, Clint Newton and Kevin Sinfield.

Think its a tight call, Hodgeson is better going forward but can be dodgy under the high ball and isn't the best defensively. Briscoe is solid and very dependable but hasn't the attcking threat of hodgeson.

its not the best ratio!

It's better than 10/27



Brilliant achievement by the Rovers lads. This season and the whole SL experience just gets better and better. What a fantastic 3 years.

Is it likely that the MoS will be taken from this team?

Brilliant, well done boys and very well deserved.

to have 4 players in the dream team is an excellent feet......well done to all concerned

Not sure on Gidleys selection but the rest are well deserved IMO.

Agree. Surprised its more than Hudds though. Guess they play more as a team rather than as individual stars.

Is that Hull's excuse??

Nah, ours is that we dont play as a team and we dont have any stars!!

Don't forget the injuries

Brilliant, well done to all the lads for a great team effort this year.

Best 2nd row partnership in SL, brings back memories of Lowe and Rose.

Injuries... never heard that used as an excuse!

Its a new concept brought in by James Rule to keep season pass sales up.

Well done to the Hull KR players, it's a great effort for so many to stand out in a team that many did not back at the start of the season (including myself, I must admit).

Galea and Dobson fully deserve to be in it but I think Newton and Fox could be debated, but they have all had great seasons!

I am personally chuffed to see Sam Tomkins in there but a little gutted that we could of had that dream team half back partnership at Wigan with a little more forward planning

Well done to all the Rovers lads selected and the rest of the Rovers team that have helped to make them look so good

Wouldn't have picked Fox tbh. But the other three have been excellent whenever I have seen them. Fair play.

Excellent progress and to have the same number picked as the S.L. winners is a tremendous achievement. If there was a 'reserve list' i reckon Briscoe and Cooke may have been thereabouts aswell.

Newts has been outshining Galea for the last 2 months. I am a little surprised we got 4 though.

To be honest Fox would have shone more if his centre learned to pass to him a bit more. However, since his centre has bagged some class tries of his own I'll forgive him.

The Gateshull trolls are non existent on our board today, the fickle fickle individuals
