Super League fans can now vote on the competition’s Dream Team for the first time ever, but they are limited in their choices.
Gone are the days when fans merely had to share their verdict on social media, the change in system means that the fan vote counts for 20% of the final Dream Team, with the Man of Steel panel accounting for 50%, and journalists another 30%.
Despite fans being able to select who they think have been the standout performers, they’re still limited to a total of 68 players to pick from with a handful of pre-selected players put forward for voting at each position.
Most position groups have between six and eight options, whereas prop and the second-row have 12 and 10 respectively, highlighting the depth at the positions.
Eleven of the fourteen Super League clubs have players nominated with just Bradford Bulls, Huddersfield Giants and Hull FC going without a pick, all teams who have been hit hard with injuries and all of whom occupy three of bottom four spots in Super League.
York Knights are the other team in that bottom four at the time of writing, though they have had prop forward Paul Vaughan nominated, whilst fellow promoted side Toulouse see Olly Ashall-Bott and Mathieu Jussaume as candidates.
At the other end of the scale, both Wigan Warriors and Leeds Rhinos have 12 players each selected, whilst Hull KR and Warrington Wolves have nine put forward.
Wakefield and Leigh have eight and seven representatives, whilst play-off hopefuls St Helens have just four. Both Castleford and Catalans join Toulouse in boasting two representatives.
Fans have until Sunday, 6th September to vote with voting available here via the Super League website.
