The dream team list is out, and even though Wakefield finished strongly in 5th place, they are the only team to have zero representation (From the top in the dream team.

I thought that Ashurst and Fifita would be in with a good shout, I cannot understand how BJB is not in

In the super 8's I presume you mean. To be fair the collective strength is what got Trinity to 5th rather than outstanding individuals. Fifita perhaps unlucky not to be in over the Farts prop and O'Loughlin is a strange one.

O'Loughlins in 'cos Wigan fans dream of him being able to play three games in a row.

I honestly don't know why we are surprised ,the RFL set up and that includes England, will always be a click,they've never yet picked a team on form.

Dissapointed Ashurst isn't in there.

Agree. Personally I'd have Fifita in over Ikahihifo and BJB in with Eden. 2nd row is strong but you could defo make a case of Ashurst over Murdoch-Masila, although tbf he's had a good season at Salford as well. Ashurst hasn't scored the tries or made the tackle breaks he has, so probably hasn't caight the eye as much. But has far more tackles, far less missed tackles percenatge wise and more meters at a similar AG.

Saying that I'm not sure how Walmsley hasn't made the team, the guys an absolute machine.

Add Liam Watts also to that list

Mostly as expected.
Hand on heart I think we'd struggle to have an individual in that team.

Fifita maybe but it would be hard to put him above walmsley or a couple of the Hull props, who aren't in either.

Centre is quite a weak area and Bill Tupou may have had a chance if he played all season like he did in the last 10 games.

SOL is a great player but looks like all he has to do is turn up to get nominated.

Any Wakefield player was included would be lured by the likes of Leeds.
