The Super League Dream Team has been confirmed, with Leeds Rhinos players making up six of the all-star 13.
Reigning Steve Prescott MBE Man of Steel Jake Connor retains his place. He is one of only three players to keep their spots from the 2025 side alongside Leeds forward James McDonnell and Leigh Leopards centre Umyla Hanley.
The other four Rhinos players are winger Makia Sivo, full-back Lachie Miller, centre Ash Handley and stand-off half Brodie Croft.
Wigan Warriors, who secured the Super League League Leaders Shield on Friday night, have two players included – winger Zach Eckersley and hooker Brad O’Neill. Other players such as Harry Smith, Oliver Partington, Jai Field and Adam Keighran have missed out.
Wakefield Trinity front-row Caleb Hamlin-Uele and Leigh prop Joe Ofahengaue are selected alongside Toulouse Olympique second-row Mathieu Jussaume. Warrington Wolves’ Ben Currie is selected at loose-forward.
Reigning champions Hull KR are the only club in the top-six not to see anyone get the nod.
The selection process for the Dream Team has adopted a new approach this year with, for the first time, supporters getting the chance to vote.
The Man of Steel panel – Ellery Hanley MBE, Paul Sculthorpe MBE, Joe Lydon, James Roby and Sam Tomkins – accounted for 50 percent of the overall weighting.
Members of the media then contributed 30 percent while fans, via the Super League website, made up the final 20 percent of the vote.
