I think Ryan Hall suffers from his own quality. People are expecting him to score tries with wonder finishes week-in week-out but it just doesn't happen. He's been above average for the year.'"
Josh Charnley has had a much better year than him for a start.(Not for 1 second saying he's better than him btw)

From the games ive seen on Sky, the pack have been superb. That's why we don't notice them as easily.

| I'm not saying Crooks is a better player than Moon, but I think he's been more consistent that Moon.
For me, Dreamteam selection should be based on performances throughout the season, not just who is actually the 'best' player in that position - it's about rewarding the consistent performers. If you just wanted to choose the team based on ability, then clearly Leeds would have alot more players in the team.
As it is, the only Leeds players who have been consistently good throughout the year are Hall, Watkins, Peacock and Delaney. And I'm not saying the rest have been poor, but they don't bust a gut week in, week out.

| Quote: SmokeyTA "And Crooks, Lineham, Houghton, Kirmond have been turned over a large number of times. There is no way on earth that Crooks has been a better player than Watkins or Moon this year. He may have over-performed compared to expectation but he simply hasn’t been up to their level. Houghton has had a good year, but he isn’t a patch on James Roby and hasn’t been this year even though Roby has missed some through injury. There is a performance/expectation issue going on here.
If Jamie Peacock has been the only player to drag Leeds to where they are right now (taking in to account where they could have been) then he would be the clearest winner of the MoS in the history of the award, he is, pretty much single handedly, the 4th best team in SL, That is pretty much what we are saying here, that 36 year old Jamie Peacock is the 4th best team in SL.'"
Watkins is currently England's best centre, but you are underestimating Crooks' performances this year with your 'no way on earth statement'. Crooks has almost scored as many tries as Watkins and Moon combined this season, he has more try assists than either of them, made more tackle busts, more clean breaks, more metres per carry and has made more tackles. He's also missed more tackles (although not as a percentage vs. Watkins) and made a couple more errors.
He's played consistently well all season irrespective of age or expectation and people are justified in selecting him for this years dream team.
Watkins is a great talent and will start at right centre for England, but based on this season's performances Crooks isn't far behind.

Oh aye Josh Charnley has. I just meant in terms of gaining the second wing jersey in the Dream Team. Charnley and Hall have been the best two widemen this year.

I like Brett Delaney. He seems to be very consistent for the Leeds side. I think they do miss him when he's out.

Delaney has been great for Leeds in fairness - he turns up and does the same job week in, week out. He's a great example of making the most of the abilities he's got. The only reason I didn't pick him was that I think the 2 I chose have had a more 'standout' year - but Delaney is a firm favourite of mine - unfortunately his body is starting to show the strains of the amount of work he does - he'll need a good rest in the off season.

Im not denigrating Crooks performance, I think he has done well and had a good season. He has shown some great potential. But that’s what he has shown right now. Potential. A lot of the judgements of the likes of Crooks and Lineham is on what they have shown the COULD be rather than what they ARE. Crooks has had a very very good season for a youngster breaking in to the first team. I don’t think that if he was the finished article, if he was having this season as a 27 year old I don’t think we would see people pushing him for dream-team inclusion.

Ryan Atkins is currently England's best centre for me.

| Centre is a really interesting one as their appears to be a few good candidates. Just had a look at the Opta stats and the best three would appear to be
Cudjoe
Crookes
and not previously mentioned on here Dean Collis
Not far behind that you have
Moon
Watkins,Wardle and Atkins.

You mean Atkins who barely gets a look in for England.
Watkins for me, the kid has it all.
