The dream team is announced tonight. I'll go with
1. Welsby
2. Johnstone
3. Keighran
4. Wardle
5. Charnley
6. French
7. Lam
8. Vaughan
9. Ipape
10. Mulhern
11. Minichella
12. Whitley
13. Asiata

I think that is pretty much spot on. I'd go for Smith and Lam in the halves even if they are both 7s. I must say I hadn't really noticed Whitley that much. Batchelor as an alternative? Of course, Liam Farrell normally has an automatic place...

I'd go with ipape all day long but I'd be amazed if they didn't pick Roby at 9, last chance of that automatic pick for them.

Johnstone
Skd
Wardle
Miski

Lam
Vaughan
Roby (as above)
Amone
Bachelor
Farrell
Asiata

I'd dispute welsby and Watkins can't disagree too much with everyone else

Totally agree.

Watkins is weird.

Welsby should be there.

Out of interest who would be in a nightmare team. Mata’utia and Dudson would be in it for sure. Actually worryingly a few Wire players would make that team.

The "faithful" on redvee have picked up their torches and pitchforks, and are marching to SLHQ, for an appeal as to why they've got the same amount of players as us.

Expect a jellylike wobble from SL, and 13 of their players to make a revamped team

Everything will be fine they will win the appeal.

Vaughan - fantastic from day 1.
Well done Paul.

have they forgotten how crap they were for the first half of the season?

The only signing of Powell’s era to be an unqualified success this season ( Honourable mention to Matty Russell).

Honourable mentions to Harrison, Nicholson and, I suppose, Mikaele too......Powell made some decent signings to be fair - come back Daryl all is forgiven.

I'd have thought that just the inclusion of John Asiata would have Saddened leading that march.

Saddo just said on X, ‘how does a player who loses 9 games on the spin get a place in the dream team?’-
A disrespect to Catalan and Wigan!’

So he doesn’t accept that being the top meter maker doesn’t carry any weight.

I don't care about any warped 1 eyed views of the Saints fans to be honest. Im sure they all think every other team only exists so saints have someone to beat.

He was carrying Dudson for those 9 games, and a lot more besides.

Honestly, why does anyone care what the Sad One thinks. On the rare occasion he appears to be complimentary there is a barb wrapped up n it. As for his rants about the Disciplinary he is a Russell Brand level conspiracy.
“Infamy, infamy they’ve all got it infamy”!
