Obviously it will come down to bias, you will say Atkins/King/Bridge are the best centres. Hull fans will say Yeaman, Wigan fans will say Carmont. I don't have any problem with Carmont's inclusion, he's been far the best centre in the league this season

yeaman and briscoe are only in for scoring tries im pretty sure ud of loved to see richards name in and i wouldnt of been suprised if it was but the way it has been done is wingers ans centres goes on most tries forwards for most meters i presume stand offs for dragging a team along by themselves and full back having the name of tomkins....

Or you could argue that the fact that we're pretty obviously beneath the top 2 means it's even more impressive?

I don't agree he's ineffective, he's made breaks in key games for us this season and we've just put the ball down. He doesn't steal plays by going on his own very often either. I'd bet 90% of his metres are made between the 20s.

Do you have shares with Roby?

His stats are impressive but how much game time more has he played this season, Saints have only been plying with one hooker for most of the season because of injuiries.

The stats say Monas has won one more throphy, finished 7 points ahead in SL, made less errors and scored more tries

Shocked Kings' not there

It is funny how the dream team and MOS possibles would change throughout a season. If that team was selected in May then I reckon Brough would be a certain for 7 and possibly MOS. I reckon if Tommy leuluai had been at 9 all year for Wigan he would not have been far off either. For me the hooker is the most important position on the pitch these days. From what I heard The players had a full hours video session all about leuluai before we played them in round 26, that shows how important a good hooker is to a team. Roby and Monas are probably in the forefront of opposition coaches minds when they are preparing to play against them, even more than the likes of Tomkins or briers for example. I understand Roby getting the nod for dream team but the voting must have been close.

I read that the journalists had to submit their nominations the week before we turned Wigan over in the league. If it had been a week later I reckon Monaghan would have edged Roby for the spot.

As it is Roby edged Monaghan out and in truth its a difficlut call to split them.

Is it just me who thinks Joel has been better than King?

Raised eyebrows at Yeaman & Menzies inclusion over King & Hoffman respectively.

I know its not a reflection of the season but King had Yeaman in his pocket on Friday night. In fact, Yeaman was anonymous.
