League position should mean F all though (as they've proved with the Leeds contingent). Apart from Whitehead there hasn't been a better 2nd rower than Ellis this year.
I struggle to understand how the team that finished 6th, losing their last 5 league games has contributed 5 players yet the league leaders only one!
I agree it shouldn't but players are less likely to stand out in a poorly performing team so it's understandable.
Like has been said, half of the team is decided before the season even starts
