Dream Team
With the regular season done and dream team to be announced shortly, who makes it in your team this year.
Welsby
Johnstone
SKD
Wardle( would have been Percy barring injuries)
Miski
French
Lam
Vaughan
Ipape
Lees
Whitley
Bell
Asiata(pains me to write it but rising above the obvious reason to not include him)
Tried to avoid being sentimental towards saints. Batch, sirinon mautautia percy all been vital at times to us this season but have had disrupted seasons with injuries.
I think we'll only see Welsby from Saints to be honest, and thats if they don't pick French as a full back
Agree. None of the rest of ours have been standouts, Bell I think will get edged out by those who have played 2nd row or 13 all year though if you were picking a 14th man for the dream team he’d be a shoe in.Originally Posted by paulscnthorpe
Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
That team won't be far way although I think Minchella might get a place. Don't think Lees will get in, maybe Byrne who's had a good year although not half as good as the Sky lot make out. Charnley on my mind too although I think the ones picked above have been better, Miski's record is ridiculous considering he wasn't in the team at the start of the season.
The dream team will just show how competitive Superleague has been this season, for us Welsby and they might consider Percival despite being injured he is the best centre in Superleague by a fair margin.
I think Amone will also be selected ahead of Lees, riding on the over-hyped wave of enthusiasm for Leigh who will get excess praise for their [non-Super League] Cup victory and despite ending up in fifth place in the league table.
Some controversial selections. Wardle over Percival?
Welsby's confirmed
Isn’t it voted for months before it’s actually announced?
St Helens Rugby League Football Club
Welsby
Charnley
SKD
Wardle
Johnson
French
Lam
Vaughan
Ipape
Amone
Watkins
Farrell
Asiata
Watkins…
Thought the same
That's a shocker. Wouldn't put him in top 10 back rowers this season nevermind a dream selection.
when was the last time we had only 1 in the team?
I can’t argue that anyone else in our team barring possibly Bell deserves to be in there. For our standards we’ve been poor this year, amazing defence but awful attack doesn’t get you in the dream team. Not many people “stand out” for their defence.

Welsby will be named no matter what.
Well Wigans “amazing” attack got them 2, and Catalans got 1 as well.
Super league overhyping of mediocrity will forever be why we trail in the NRLs shadow. Compare it to the Dally M nominations which came out today
Sorry didn't realise it had been announced.
Herbie Farnworth well on his way to being an all time great. Best English centre I've seen since Newlove
All part of the fairy tale.
I can’t begrudge a bunch of Leigh players in the dream team. Nobody would have thought they would achieve what they have.
Yes there are some arguments here and there and it seems a bit driven by sentimentality in places but overall it’s not completely crazy as a side.

Apparently Saints fans call dream team “Ridiculous” – St Helens fans furious with Dream Team snub

Nonsense really ,isn't it? World Club Champions and joint table toppers on points only get one player in the Dream Team, yet the Challenge Cup winners.......................................
It's the Man of Steel all over again - decent performances in an "average" team being rewarded.
Players overlooked because they turn in 8 or 9 out of 10 performances week on week but it's expected so they don't get the credit they deserve.
