No surprise Saints have the most but happy D.C got the Hooker spot. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/49707472

A few really daft ones in there. Handley and Hurrell being the most obvious ones, their defense this season has been truly woeful. Hurrell is an entertaining player, but just wouldn't cut it in a decent side.

It says it's been picked by experts, but I suspect it's been picked by the marketing team at Super League. Lomax has been by far Saints best player this season, has won every single game he's played in Super League, man of the match in most of the bigger Super League games we've had and hasn't been picked. Not sure what more he could do in Super League to get in this team or win Man of Steel.

No complaints over Hurrell for me. He carried Leeds for much of the season.

You'd still gripe if all thirteen were from St Helen's, give it a rest.

Only head scratcher for me is Liam Farrell.

So do you think it's just a coincidence Wigan's 'form' turnaround, coincides with Farrell's return from a lengthy absence?!

Honestly yes.

DC is a fair call.
A little surprised by Blakes inclusion.
Ratch was unfortunate not to be included, but I can understand why they went for Coote.
Lomax should be in for me.

I've seen quite a bit of Hurrell and Handley - and am a bit surprised.
Thought Grace may have got in. Perhaps it says something about the lack of centres, but have been quite impressed by both Reece Lyne and - especially Bill Tupou but I guess he's been out too much of the season.

No issues with the others - even though I REALLY don't like Farrell

Grace should be in above Handley surely. He’s had a great season. A lot of the team picks itself, Coote is head and shoulders the best, Evalds pushes him closest in the back half of the year

Lomax should be in, he’s been on fire this year.

The Blake Austin selection I can get, if you pick a player of the round every week of the season, he would have picked up a few early on.

While I’m born Farrells biggest fan, the logic is there, I can’t think of a better back rower outright, though I’d shoehorn Smithies in above him
