THE Rugby League Players’ Association ‘Dream Team’ was named on Tuesday night, with several shock selections and some notable omissions.

Based on the ‘Players’ Champion’ voting, held throughout the season, the highest polling players in each position were given the nod in the inaugural Dream Team.

While there can be no debate about Cameron Smith’s selection at hooker or Jordan Rapana’s pick on one of the flanks, the rest of the team has healthy competition from players who missed out.

Raising the most eyebrows of them all was Konrad Hurrell, who missed eight games due to injury, yet was selected in front of the Storm’s Will Chambers, Manly’s Dylan Walker and Brisbane’s James Roberts.

Even at fullback, where the Players’ Champion James Tedesco plays, a case could be mounted that Tom Trbojevic had the more impressive NRL season.

In the halves Luke Keary, Corey Norman and Daly Cherry-Evans were unlucky to miss out, and even the Dream Team’s star-studded back-row could easily have been substituted, with Angus Crichton arguably the outstanding second-rower of the season and Felise Kaufusi and Paul Gallen also having outstanding seasons.

To fuel the debate, foxsports.com.au has chosen its own Team of the Year (the Snubbed 13) to oppose the RLPA’s Dream Team.
