Assume this will be announced soon. Hopefully we'll have a couple of representatives - thinking Houghton and Ellis - but maybe a few others in contention? Shaul, Fonua, Tag?

Think the most we've ever had is a couple - does anyone know? Would be nice to get a few recognised.

Hull FC representatives

2004 Briscoe, Horne, King
2005 Cooke, Thackray
2006 Yeaman
2011 Briscoe, Yeaman
2013 Crooks, Lineham

Thackray in 2005 was something to behold. What a season he had.

A few journalists have been giving their opinions

Williams
Gale
Hill
Houghton (could be Clarke though)
Taylor
Currie
Bateman
Ellis

Announced Monday, I think.

There will still probably be 5 or 6 leeds players

Bateman is a top player but missed 10 games through suspension IIRC.

Played more games than Ellis, on the pitch he has been the best backrower this year,he should be in.

Maybe. Back row is probably the position where there's most quality, can think of plenty of very good players in SL.

Minichello and Ellis should be a shoe-ins as should be Houghton
Tough call between Shaul and Dorn, likwise Gale and Sneyd. Fonua deffo got a strong shout, defence improved and some big plays in offence stand out.
