Well said sir , whatever anyone thinks of him personally , his all round game is head and shoulders above any other full back in this league .

Or Matty Bowen. How can Danny Brough win the Albert Goldthorpe medal for a season's achievement and not get in that team is unbelievable.

excellent point about Brough here!

IMO hardaker is a better all round fullback than escare. bowen hasn't been consistent enough. Brough hasn't been a patch on last year but he hasn't needed to be yet...

but the point is he has won the albert goldthorpe medal which is prob on of the best examples of a player playing well week in week out with the way it is judged.

i think brough has gone pretty well this season too... kev brown no complaints with him being picked though

not sure if it's an indication to the selection of the dream team, but looking at the goldthorpe medal table, only 5 of the dream team are in the top 20 of that table,kevin brown at no.2(27 points) daryl clark no.4 (24),matty smith no.10(17) chris hill no.16(13) and elliot whitehead at no.20(12)

no leeds player in the top 20, sinfield is the highest placed leeds player at 24(11)
of the other players
hardaker no.12 (11)
shenton no.29(10)
o'loughlin no.30(10)
peacock no.35 (9)
watkins no.41 (9)
hall no.50 (8)
makinson no.99 (4)
ablett no.190 (1 point

don't forget the albert goldthorpe is a reflection of the player who has most influence on a game. what it shows is that we rely on brough a lot!!!
