No real surprises in there for me.

It feels strange though with us having our best ever season and not really having a standout candidate. Blaymire and Snitch have arguably been our two most consistent players over the full season but Brett Hodgson was absolutely nailed on for the fullback slot, and not sure Snitch would have stood out as much to outsiders as he would have to fans who watch him week in week out.

If the positions were over the last couple of months Sam Obst would have absolutely walked it IMO, but Scott Moore has had a very good season overall.

On a sidenote I'd love to see JD be recognised for the way he's led his team to our greatest finishing position and points tally in a season with the added burden of wearing the number 8 shirt. There would be no more deserving player and man for the man of steel award this year IMO.

I think it is testamant to the team ethic and coaching that Wakefield can get into there best position ever in SL and not have a member in the Dream Team, generally all have performed very well, and while they may not have been the best in there respective positions the team has done so well.

Not too worried,or surprised, about no Wakey players in there.Snitch has been our most consistent performer over the season, but so many different players have been lauded weekly when it comes to MOM.

For me it highlights the fact we are a "team" and not so dependant on the one man.

What?!?!?! No Obst, no JD, no Leo-Latu? Really tough luck, at least one of those three deserved to be in the dream team.

obst didn't have the best first half of season to be fair for various reasons

I thought Brough had been better than Dobson but looking at the stats probably Dobson deserves to be in. Id still prefer to have Danny in our team though

Ok, so because KR finished one place above the Wildcats, that makes Dobson a better player than Brough?!

Furthermore, see Bloomers point re: tackle statistics - I'm still waiting for an apology for your previous sardonic comment.

Dobson is an excellent player, no shadow of a doubt and is worthy of being a contender or even a spot in the dream team. What I will say is that I rate Brough more highly and he is defensively better, as the stats (contrary to your previous post) quantify.

Do agree with the stats point - whoever works at Opta need to check their maths as Brough has posted at least 1 40:20 this season and some of the other figures do look rather circumspect.

I think the Fielden yards figure must include those where he's going backwards!!

class!

Pleasing things to me are that their are 8 English players in the 13, and Saints have only got 1 more player in than Wakefield, no wonder they only finished 2nd.

think keith senior will have this on ebay soon

I agree and I would be astounded if wakey never picked up the team of the year award at the MOS awards.

On the Dobson / Brough debate, although I think Broughy is a good player I just think Dobbo is more consistant. When he has a quiet game he is just that quiet, whereas when Brough has a bad one he seems to really stand out and then lose the plot and usually the game with it.

I prefer Brough to Dobson but its close. Both cracking players though.
