That full team would struggle to get a gig in the NRL (other than for the god awful Knights). Hill would possibly get a gig at a couple of the poor teams, Mini and Ellis likewise but too old to realistically happen.

It'll only get better.

Scott Taylor has been the best prop in SL this season.

yeah but i wanted to limit myself to 5 nominations. the other 5 have also been immense this season so i had to cut one. ellis and mini best backrowers in the league in my opinion, shaul has been best fullback, likewise houghton and sneyd in their positions

Yes, possibly.
The irony of it all is two of the best players this year play at 9, and there is only one place in the team. Every other position has two places to fill (more or less).

so they'll almost certainly go for roby then

I wouldn't like to have to choose between Shaul and Dorn.

Ah, that must mean the current standard of Super League is as strong as ever then

I certainly wouldn't take jake webster over mahe fonua who is looking unplayable currently

Re: Dream Team Nominations : Sat Aug 20, 2016 5:36 pm  

There are a few players who have had very good seasons when they've played but possibly not had enough matches to be included. In no particular order I'd choose from:

FB - Shaul, Dorn, Gigot
W - Solomona, Manfredi, Johnston
C - Fonoua, Gelling, Percival,
SO - Brown, Williams, Gidley
SH - Sneyd, Gale, Sandow (all options for SO too if it's picked as halves)
P - S Taylor, D Taylor, Hill, Watts
H - Houghton, Clarke
SR - Currie, Bateman, Minichello, Stewart
LF - Ellis, Westerman

Whilst I totally agree with your selections, that "dream team" is the worst I can think of for a long time. Depsite hull fc and Warrington wolfs fans telling us that the standard of super league is as high as it has always Been, that dream team would lose by about 300 points to an Aussie dream team and about 60 points to a png dream team

How many games has dorn played? Seems to have been injured a lot but is a quality player who I've rated since he first came over here
