Six Castleford players have been named in the Super League Dream Team.
Zak Hardaker, Greg Eden, Michael Shenton, Luke Gale, Grant Millington and Mike McMeeken were all named in the team at an event held in Leeds on Monday, with the Tigers taking up almost half the team.
Eight debutants were included in the team, with St Helens’s Mark Percival, Hull FC’s Albert Kelly, Huddersfield’s Sebastine Ikahihfo and Salford’s Ben Murdoch-Masila were among the debutants, with Murdoch-Masila’s involvement making him the first Salford player to make the Dream Team since winger David Hodgson in 2006.
The Betfred Super League Dream Team is selected by a panel of the sport’s broadcasters and journalists in a secret ballot and represents the form team of the Betfred Super League season.
