Strange to think that Saints , Wire and Leeds have provided just 1 player between them .

Re: Dream Team : Mon Sep 09, 2013 7:49 pm  

Who the heck chose this lot?

I don't think it would frighten most NRL teams or indeed some SL teams.

Crooks is a wonderful attacker but dodgy in defence.
Briscoe is still better than Lineham and I'd give best winger to Carney.
Lunt is OK but he is far from the best hooker in SL.

Where are Higham and Chase?

Has tomkins played enough games to be selected? It said in sky he ain't played at home for two month before the Leeds game.

that’s the 1st think I thought when I seen Tomkins in there! Wheeler could be in with a shout. The aussies will smash him the the RLWC.

Carney was probably let down by the fact that he was suspended 3 times.

Hasn't Ryan Hall got more tries and double the busts and clean breaks than Lineham?

I know who I'd pick in my team. I'd take carney over him too. Good young player but not sure he deserves that spot.

Re: Dream Team : Tue Sep 10, 2013 8:36 am  

I'd have gone with:
1. Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Ratchford
4. Crooks
5. Carney
6. Chase
7. Brough
8. Crabtree
9. Higham
10. Peacock
11. Ferries
12. Kirmond
13. O'Loughlin

I have no issues with the forwards.

But Matty Smith? Jon Wilkin has more try assists this season. Rangi Chase would have been my choice, he's been sensational.

Not sure about the hull pair too. Moon has been fantastic for Leeds and what about Carney and Monaghan?!

Re: Dream Team : Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:05 am  

Ridiculous that Amor isn't in there

Re: Dream Team : Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:58 am  

Lineham missed both games v Saints this year - not sure how well qualified most Saints would be to make judgement really. Hall hasn't been up to his normal standards this year and Carney has had some 'issues'shall we say!
