Re: Dream team : Sun Sep 04, 2022 9:11 am  
I’m glad they’ve picked Welsby over Lomax. A bit like Knowles, I felt Lomax would be one of those automatic picks regardless of performance against their peers. No way Knowles should be in but as I said the other day, Lockers pinched a place a couple of seasons as well on reputation. I’m surprised SKD is in ahead of Leutele or Hurrell but if he swapped clubs with either he’s every bit as good I guess. Walmsley is a weird one. Not been at his best but even so, his best is that good, he’s still outperformed most other props.

Not bad but, as ever with these things, it's all a matter of opinion. Like most people, I rate Walmsley massively but Passi has simply been better this season. Glad Roby is in. His level of consistently, like Farrel, is on another level. Knowles just in on hype I'm afraid. He's not even been Saints best back rower this season and despite a good start to the season hasn't even been that good over the latter half. Smithies or Yates all day long. Not sure SKD has been better that Leutele either but I perhaps haven't seen enough of of him to make that call.

Everyone else is pretty much as I would have picked. Although I can see the argument that Welsby has been shoehorned in, he deserves to be in there somewhere and there's no way he's getting the fullback spot over Field this season.

Happy for Faz. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Hopefully that's starting to change as he gets towards the back end of his career. Special mention to Marshall too who couldn't have been far off himself but has, perhaps, been overshadowed by the exploits of French on the opposite wing.

Not saying their spots aren't deserved but onlookers down under must be in hysterics at the likes of Sio, Lafai, Kenny-Dowall and Mcqueen being in there.

Not really. Bateman was in his prime during his NRL run. McQueen and SKD are 35/34.
