Talk of how bad this years dream team by some, had me looking back to a couple of years ago 2014. Is it going to be much worse than this lot?

Full-back: Zak Hardaker (Leeds Rhinos)
Wing: Ryan Hall (Leeds Rhinos)
Centre: Michael Shenton (Castleford Tigers)
Centre: Kallum Watkins (Leeds Rhinos)
Wing: Tommy Makinson (St Helens)
Stand-off: Kevin Brown (Widnes Vikings)
Scrum-half: Matty Smith (Wigan Warriors)
Prop: Jamie Peacock (Leeds Rhinos)
Hooker: Daryl Clark (Castleford Tigers)
Prop: Chris Hill (Warrington Wolves)
Second Row: Elliott Whitehead (Catalan Dragons)
Second Row: Carl Ablett (Leeds Rhinos)
Loose forward: Sean O’Loughlin (Wigan Warriors)

Or the 2013 team?

Full-back

Yeah I think it's substantially worse - what the above does show though is that the decline has been coming over a few years. Leeds tactic of previous years to basically take the pee for most of the regular season and then only turn it on for the play-offs showed that.

So players quality has declined, yet no other player is allowed to improve year on year? Fans just say it's the lack of quality, I notice in those dream team selections that the majority play for teams who have had poor seasons.

Yes I'm an fc fan but maybe because ourselves and wire have recruited better than anybody else over the last season or two some fans of the 'bigger clubs' don't want to see it. Fault lies at your own club for signing poorer quality players

Full-back
Both are pretty good teams to be honest, especially in their respective seasons.
Though I don't think this season is any worse than any other season. It's just that some miserable sods teams aren't winning as easily anymore so we'll pretend the whole thing is rubbish.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



Quality of Players for the Dream team is poor these days. 10 out of the 13 below played in the same seasons these individual players nominated the most (*) for there team position.

Paul Wellens (4)
Jason Robinson (5)
Gary Connolly (3)
Keith Senior (5)
Ryan Hall (4)
Danny McQuire (3)
Rob Burrow (3)
James Graham (4)
James Roby (5)
Jamie Peacock (11)
Gareth Ellis (4)
Ben Westwood (4)
Andrew Farrell (6)

Quality players who didn't get on the list but played in a couple of those seasons: Fielden, Long, Lyon, Sculthorpe, Barret, Cunningham, Newton, Lam, Briers.

I don,t think any of todays players could dislodge any of that list from the ultimate dream team.

Do you mean Scott Taylor? Him and Hill easily the best two props this year, outplayed them both in three games this year, watch the cup game again and compare them all.

Taylor has been excellent all year, not just the last 8 games.

It wasn't that long ago that Saints fans were having a go at Amor and Walmsley. Scott Taylor has been fantastic for Hull and has been the best prop in SL.

Stats are showing Amor and Walmsley far superior when it comes to Tackle Busts, Metres Made and Offloads (Prop Work) and doing hard yards in a very poor team. Taylor is better in defence and is playing well in a very good team.

Quote: nottinghamtiger "Don't think he should be considered for the dream team, but Segeyaro has been very good when I have seen him play. No coincidence Leeds' upturn in form coincided with his signing.'"



Fully agree. Take Matty Smith out of our team and stick this guy in would be a massive improvement in 'go forward'.

You can exclude their last game too. Did they even play?
