Well done to Farrell.

Surprised at this one. I honestly think he’s been very average for second half of the season.

Farrell is the ginger one on the pitch, as you've obviously not been watching the right players.

He has been consistent all year the only thing that changed was the tries stopped but they stopped from every part of the pitch.

Just because Farrell may have been consistent for Wigan doesn’t mean he’s been good enough for dream team.

The tries Farrell scores are what make him such a special player, as you say they have dried up.

It isn’t a criticism, the team have been poor, I just don’t think he’s been good enough for a dream team slot.

I'd agree with that. By his standards Faz has been ordinary this season. In fact, if anything, I'd say he looks the most dubious call in the 13. But certainly no other Wigan player should have got near.

Can,t believe Powell is not in

Glad it’s not just me that thinks that his form dipped after the international game for me

If you look at who "produced" these players, by my reckoning there are 4 from abroad, 4 Saints, 3 Wigan, and one each for Huddersfield and Batley.

Talk of decline in the game, having a 14-team Super League, expansion, poor standards and so on, mostly ignores the fact that you can't have quality with too few players of the right standard.

Wakefield, Salford, and the likes all struggle because they mainly rely on others to produce their players. The dream team illustrates the point.

Until every SL team has to have an academy set-up of an approved standard, the game is going nowhere. Changing the league format, promotion and relegation and the rest of it are just rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

In the meantime, a ten team league is the best we can support - simply because the quality drops once you step beyond the top 3 at best....we were comfortably 4th!
