With a new season waiting on the horizon, plenty of fans and pundits are beginning to make their predictions for the Super League in 2022.

People are beginning to settle on their favourites for Super League glory, relegation and the Man of Steel award but another thing people like to predict is what the Super League Dream Team might look like at the end of the season, However, with so much quality in the Betfred Super League going into 2022 predicting who the best player in every position will be is hard to decide upon.

Nonetheless, SportingIndex have produced their odds for the Super League Dream in 2022 identifying the players they think will excel the most in every position. There are some interesting favourites in each role so let’s have a look at what the Super League Dream will look like according to the bookmakers.

At fullback, unsurprisingly Wigan star Bevan French is the favourite to take the number one spot in the Dream Team at 11/4. After an injury hit 2021, he’s one of the favourites for the Man of Steel award so it isn’t surprising to see the prolific scorer tipped for a place in the Dream Team.

Surprisingly, Tom Davies is only 13/2 to secure a third consecutive spot in the Dream Team.

The favourite at centre is another Saint in the shape of Mark Percival at 3/1 whilst another Rhino is being tipped to feature at centre this year in the shape of Harry Newman at 4/1. Warrington star Toby King is 9/2 whilst Jake Mamo is 7/1 and Peter Mata’utia is 8/1 after swapping clubs going into 2022.

In the halves, one of the favourites for the Man of Steel, Wigan’s Cade Cust is 7/2 to feature whilst Mitchell Pearce is the favourite at 3/1.

Warrington duo George Williams and Gareth Widdop are 9/2 and 13/2 respectively.

Moving onto the pack, Alex Walmsley is unsurprisingly the favourite to feature at prop at 6/4 whilst the man who joined him in last year’s Dream Team Sam Kasiano is 15/2 behind Liam Watts and Mikolaj Oledzki who are both at 7/1.

At hooker, Paul McShane and Daryl Clark are joint favourites at 10/3 each whilst Kruise Leeming, who was named in the Dream Team last year, is 11/2. Interestingly St Helens new boy Joey Lussick is 7/1 ahead of skipper James Roby at 9/1.

Turning to the back three, John Bateman is 5/2 to feature as is Wigan teammate Liam Farrell whilst James Bentley of Leeds is 6/1 to feature after completing the switch from St Helens. As for loose forward, Morgan Knowles is favoured to be named in the Dream Team for the fourth consecutive season at 5/2.
