Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors dominate fan-voted all-time Super League XIII

Sunday marked three decades of Super League and fans have now voted on their all-time XIII with plenty of Leeds Rhinos players making the cut.

It should perhaps come as little surprise given how dominant the Rhinos were during the mid-2000s with their ‘golden generation’ proving incredibly fruitful in terms of silverware.

When the team was announced at half-time of Leeds’ win over Warrington Wolves, many of the names were met with rapturous applause from the Headingley faithful, whilst the handful of players who had not represented Leeds in their career saw their names met with pantomime boos.

Obviously, Leeds aren’t the only team to feature heavily and some of those Rhinos players selected did play for other sides but it was Wigan Warriors who were next best-represented, with two through and through St Helens players also selected.

The team was selected after a poll ran by Super League broadcaster Sky Sports with fans having weeks to make their choices for each position from a preset list of five names for each role.

Here is what the fans voted for as the all-time Super League XIII with the team that each player represented the most in their Super League career also noted.

Super League all-time XIII

Full-back: Sam Tomkins (Wigan Warriors)

Tomkins beat out some tough competition at full-back including Kris Radlinski and Paul Wellens but the two-time Man of Steel winner got the nod with his time at Wigan simply impossible to ignore as some of the greatest full-back play that Super League has ever seen.

Wingers: Ryan Hall (Leeds Rhinos) and Jason Robinson (Wigan Warriors)

Ryan Hall’s inclusion needs little explanation with the winger the top try-scorer in Super League history and also someone with incredible longevity. He’s in his 20th professional season now, during which time he has won seven Grand Finals and scored over 260 tries.

Jason Robinson spent far less time in rugby league but the mark he made was impressive with the ex-Wigan man scoring 87 tries in 127 Super League games before becoming a World Cup winner in rugby union.

Centres: Jamie Lyon (St Helens) and Keith Senior (Leeds Rhinos)

Jamie Lyon is arguably one of the best players to ever play in Super League, albeit only for a brief period. His 39 tries over two seasons came in the middle of a career that saw him represent Australia and New South Wales.

As for Keith Senior, he spent far longer in Super League but opponents still couldn’t find a way to stop him with the centre scoring 199 Super League tries and winning the comp five times.

Halves: Danny McGuire (Leeds Rhinos) and Rob Burrow (Leeds Rhinos)

Two Leeds Rhinos legends here and two of the most impactful players in Super League history. McGuire was the competition’s greatest try-scorer before Ryan Hall eclipsed him, whilst Burrow was truly a one of a kind player.

His usage off the bench changed games regularly and his record as a two-time Grand Final Man of the Match speaks volumes to his quality in big games.

Props: Adrian Morley (Warrington Wolves) and Jamie Peacock (Leeds Rhinos)

Morley is someone whose peak was perhaps in the NRL but his time in Super League did see him win a comp with Bradford Bulls, albeit only playing six games with them that season after returning from the NRL. However, it’s Warrington where he spent the most time in Super League.

Jamie Peacock was captain in Morley’s Grand Final win but it is with Leeds where he is best remembered with the prop viewed by many as Super League’s greatest ever prop, largely due to his success as a nine-time winner of the competition.

Hooker: James Roby (St Helens)

James Roby is another player with incredible longevity with Roby making 495 Super League appearances and winning the competition six times.

Back row: Gareth Ellis (Hull FC) and Liam Farrell (Wigan Warriors)

Ellis was a Super League winner with Leeds Rhinos, whom he had joined from Wakefield Trinity, but he’s best-known for his time with Hull FC where he won two Challenge Cups. Ellis also made a name for himself in the NRL, highlighting his quality.

Liam Farrell is the only player selected who is still active with the Wigan skipper passing the 350 Super League appearance mark last season. His 132 tries are also the most of any forward in the competition’s history.

Loose forward: Kevin Sinfield (Leeds Rhinos)

Kevin Sinfield was a constant during Leeds Rhinos’ golden generation and he beat out some Super League legends to land this spot with Andy Farrell and two-time Man of Steel Paul Sculthorpe also receiving a large number of votes.
