St Helens dominate Super League’s 2018 Dream Team
Leaders get seven representatives in the best 13 players of this season, as voted for by members of the media
ST HELENS’ season has been rewarded with no fewer than SEVEN players in Super League’s Dream Team.
Ben Barba, Tommy Makinson, Mark Percival, Jonny Lomax, Danny Richardson, Luke Thompson and James Roby have all made the best 13 players of the year.
Votes were cast by the country’s media to come up with the best 13 of the 2018 season – and Saints’ campaign has not gone unnoticed.
Wakefield trio Tom Johnstone, Matty Ashurst and Bill Tupou have also made it, along with Catalans Dragons’ Remi Casty.
Semi-finalists Warrington and Castleford were overlooked as only four clubs – St Helens, Wigan, Wakefield and Catalans – had players in the side.
Wigan’s John Bateman and Sean O’Loughlin round off the 13.
Many of the players now stand just one match from the Grand Final as the top four face off in the semi-finals on Thursday and Friday.
Saints face Warrington on Thursday and Wigan take on Castleford on Friday.
