dream team 2008!

Super League
by MissRhino08 (U12613452) 15 September 2008
comment on the article

JAMIE PEACOCK and Keiron Cunningham have been named in the engage Super League Dream Team for a record seventh time.
England captain and Leeds forward Peacock has only missed out on two teams since making his debut in 2000.

St Helens hooker Cunningham made his first appearance in the fantasy line-up in 1996.

Saints and Leeds dominate the team, which is chosen by journalists, with five players apiece.

The full team is: Clint Greenshields (Catalans), Scott Donald (Leeds), George Carmont (Wigan), Matt Gidley (St Helens), Ade Gardner (St Helens); Leon Pryce (St Helens), Rob Burrow (Leeds); James Graham (Sts), Keiron Cunningham (Sts), Jamie Peacock (Leeds), Gareth Ellis (Leeds), Ben Westwood (Warrington), Kevin Sinfield (Leeds).

Adam Mogg and Thomas Bosc have both had a fantastic season at Catalans, Paul Wellens deserves to be included. Danny Brough had an excellent first half of the season and then went off the boil. Looking forward to the rest of the playoffs and then the world cup! Hopefully the Giants will be able to mount a better challenge next season.

I'm sorry... but Long is a much better player than Burrow. Even as a Wigan fan I can admitt that much.

Pauldleeds - You base all your comments on the fact that you surport Leeds. You say Lynch is overated and Sinfield should be no 13 for England. HAHAHAHA!

Two questions

How many people have said Andy Lynch is over-rated?

How many people have said that Sinfield is overated and doesn't deserve to be in England squad?

Most neutrals don't think Sinfield should be in England squad. Most of fans who do are Leeds fans.

Most neutrals think that Lynch should be in England squad.

End of discussion

the dream team is a fair selection but the last 3 years St Helens have had an advantage that the RFL won't do anything about.The salary cap being broken thought you weren't allwed 2 as against the RULES!!!!

I for 1 admire teams optimism for the future (Cas) But if Westermen & Shenton were good enough for dream team you wouldn't be bottom would you???
Seems you tend to believe the majority of your players are class yet being bottom says otherwise for the time being clearly.

Plus Carmont is a centre so people saying he should be swaped for Westermen / Bosc really must be a tad confused!1

Lynch very unlucky but any 2 out of Graham/Peacock/Morley/Lynch would have been sound but with Saints & Leeds being top 2 those selections make sense!

-----------

Greenshields and Webb have been far better

The blinkers on Leeds fans saying Webb over Greenshields is predictable but still shocking. It completely negates the views of Leeds fans on the whole Dream Team.

- Briscoe, IMO, has been outstanding to. I feel Wellans has had an average year by his standards!

That's no criticism, but he is usually outstanding but has not done anything this year like he has in the past few seasons.

Typical Leeds fan!!
Webb is a dirty player and he is miles behind the likes of Paul Wellens and Greenshields . As a Bulls fan I agree with most comments about how trash we are this year, this is the difference between a rugby fan and a glory seeker like alot of Leeds fans singing there football songs hopefully Leeds United will get promoted and the Leeds crowd will disapear back to there normal 8000 crowd.
Come on the Saints!!!!!!!!!!
