I'd have had Myler over Smith, other than that I can't really complain.

Can't help but feel they've deliberately picked 13 English players this year.

Sam Tomkins is an outstanding player but should he really be in the dream team after only playing 18 of the 27 games? In that time he has scored 23 tries.

Zak hardaker has had a better season than Tomkins

I think there is a bit of an agenda re no foreigners. Moon must have been in the running and I would have had Dobson over Smith.

Pretty much agree with the whole team. Ben Crooks and Matty Smith could be the most debatable. Although I've no problem with either been there.

It is a little surprising there are no Wire players considering they finished 2nd. But Wire have been a good team this year rather than individuals standing out (although Higham is very unlucky not to be in)

Fair point, did occur to me when I was reading it. However, I then thought which overseas players I'd have put in, and couldn't really come up with any, bar possibly Moon, Escare, maybe Carney or Chase.

Other than Smith I can't really argue.

Or maybe our homegrown players were better than the foreigners ??

Dont forget the overseas players these days are not neccesarily in the same class as ones in years gone by.It also shows the quality there is in our homegrown players.

I think I might have gone for Myler over Smith, myself, and possibly Escare instead of Tomkins (as he's missed a lot of this season), but can't really complain about that team. All have been great this year.

To credit Matty Smith not many people have been saying that Wigan have missed Tommy Leuluai this season yet before he arrived many people were saying that Smith was not a good enough replacement.

Overall Smith has done very well this season for Wigan, he has been consistent and kicked well and played a massive part in Wigan winning the Challenge Cup.
