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.

Some pretty biased nonsense there.

If 7 players from Hull were to get in the dream team it would be the most single dominant club in SL dream teams for 15 years and a joint record. It would be 3 more than leeds had last year when winning the treble, 2 more than Saints had when winning the treble in 06, 2 more than when leeds won the league by 9 points in 04, Do you think that would be a fair reflection on this year?

Fully agree. There should be at least 9 from Hull

It has been a historically terrible year quality wise...

but even I wouldnt claim it had been that bad.

Like I said at the bottom of my post . injuries have interrupted a lot of the players that would usually be challenging for a spot in the dream team ,
Hulk have been blessed with quite an uninterrupted season in reguards to injury's .
The closest competition to Shaul is probably Dorn and sneyde us probably in a 4 way fight for 2 spots . the rest IMHO are way ahead of anyone else
Can you name 2 that have been better than Fonao , 2 beter than minichello or 2propd better than Taylor this season . Ellis and Houghton I would say are light years ahead of anyone else this season .

What would your team be smokey ?

For my money Ellis and Taylor are, or should be, guaranteed. Shaul should be there too. Not necessarily my England pick but you'd need to argue pretty hard to get me to concede that he's not been the best full back this year. Houghton is probably in a neck and neck battle with Clarke, the coming weeks will decide that one. Sneyd has a shot, but there are several good candidates. Fonua also has a chance, but that's probably more down to the general dearth of good centres knocking about. Minichiello personally wouldn't be in my team, but he features in plenty of other peoples teams, and not just Hull fans either.

So to say it's a fix if they aren't in is of course biased nonsense, but it's not unrealistic to suggest they all could be in.

How many games has Bateman missed this season ?

8 SL games.
