The team will probably include half the Wigan team, a couple of pity picks from Warrington Saints and Hull and Kevin Sinfield.

...

Oh. and Sean O'Laughlin will be nailed on for loose forward after them blinding 3 games he had.

Bitter small club fan alert.

Cahill over Ellis? Behave.

Honourable mentions for Dorn/Hanbury at full-back, Talanoa and Manfredi on the wing (though Charnley has better stats), centre Fonua/Cudjoe are worth a shout but we've really struggled for a decent consistent one this year. I did think about throwing Gildart in there too.

Halves tough. Sandow has been injured a lot and Sneyd has generally been good. I'd also throw in Joe Mellor too.

Props you can throw in Hill and Walmsley and I'd have put Lynch in was it not for injury either.

Hooker was Roby and I'd also chip in McShane from Cas who has had a fab season.

Back-row Bateman and Murdoch-Masila (for the first half of the season) and maybe Sika Manu.

Some odd selections there.

If you mean in the actual team I selected, I don't think so.

Thompson is the only obscure one but if you take the primary aim of a winger is to score tries, then he's scored more than Manfredi, Charnley, Broughton or any other winger mentioned in this thread, other than Solomona. I know wingers do some dirty work too but that's the premise.

We don't have a lot of centres this year have shone and Currie actually started this season in the centre position.

Taylor, Houghton, Ellis have been fantastic for Hull and there's no doubt they have played a part in their success. Junior Moors has been unplayable this season at times and his stats are comparable to the best of them (Bateman, The Coal Train). There may be bias but it's also worth mentioning that Moors was injured for a period this season so his stats should be higher in reality.

Gale and Sandow have a combined 70 try assists so should be the halves, even if one is technically played out of position. Both have scored more tries than Sneyd, more metres, better average gain.

If you're on about back-up options, I've thrown a few underrated Cas players into the mix. Gildart has played a lot of game this season and has contributed 9 tries and over 2000 metres in the process. I think he's a decent player. Certainly one to look for in the future.

Thompson, Currie and Westerman were the ones I meant.

Ellis has got to be a shoe in for 13 imo. He's had a ridiculous season for Hull. Thompson started well for about five games and Currie is good but there's been better centres than him (barely played centre anyhow).

Ellis is my prop - again he's played more up the middle for me, hence why Westerman was in.

Currie has been excellent last few season and as I said, started the season at centre. Although he's played more at back-row, I don't think there's been anyone good enough to really displace him from being involved. Thompson, as explained, is second top try scorer. Not his fault he plays in a side that is inconsistent really.

Obviously I see more of hull fc than other teams but if if these ain't in the team come end of season its a fix

Been a lot of players that have had great speells but seem to have dropped off , Bateman's absence should out an end to his chances tbf , D Clarke and Roby have only just woken up Roby more so , some of the Wigan boys have had injury interrupted seasons , Leeds the same
,

Clark has been excellent all season, I'd say better than his man of steel year, now granted he probably hasn't been making as many eye catching breaks like then but his defence has been brutal this year.
