To be honest, I've only watched Superleague on the telly, as we've been otherwise engaged. However, this is my choice:

 

1. Escare

2. McGillvary

3. Watkins

4. Bateman

5. Makinson

6. Brough

7. Kelly

8. Cuthbertson

9. Houghton

10. Lynch

11. Taia

12. Whitehead

13. Westwood

Burgess and Farrell ... Really ??!!! There's been several wingers on excellent and consistent form ahead of Burgess , and guys like Whitehead , Currie , Minichiello , Greenwood etc surely more deserving than Farrell . I wouldn't have either of those on my England team either.

Farrell has been outstanding this year, often dragging Wigan back into games when oloughlin has been missing but I would still have had Bateman in ahead of him, I don't think Burgess has been as good as last year and would have Manfredi ahead of him, I think Peacock has been picked only because it's his last year and would have Cuthbertson or Hill at prop with Walmsley and Currie or Whitehead in the back row, Williams unlucky not to make it at 6 but Broughy has been good

Having watched him play all season I feel reasonably qualified to say how well he's played, it was implied he wasn't deserving of a place and in my opinion he has played very well, I watch him every week so I know how well he's done, that's all it was, what's wrong with that? Curries played very well, Taia has been excellent, whitehead and minichello also and I said I'd have Currie/whitehead in the team too as well as Taia so what's the problem? The whole team is about opinions so why moan just because someone's is different to yours

Bateman has had a better season than Farrell.

There is another 2nd rower who's had as good a season as Bateman, that's Taia and he's in there.

Burgess has been the best wingman all year despite an early dip in form. He's faster than the rest, scores tries and who's defence is excellent. Unlike McGillvary, SL top try scorer but who's missed over 40 tackles this year. 

All opinions, how did Peacock get in over Hill?

I am sure I am missing something but I just don't get the Burgess thing. He is a good winger but I would put Hall, McGillvary and Briscoe well ahead of him and Lineham and Makinson on a par.

I would understand if he was consistently good but he was very poor at the beginning of the year.

Is he, I didn't realise. Can you share the stats please.

I might put Manfredi ahead of Burgess on this season's try-scoring feats.

This. Manfredi has been a human wrecking ball, so much broken tackles in little games. He's a weapon and I'm more afraid of him than I'm of Burgess.

Wigan is a good place for wingers, they made Charnley look like a world beater.

Have to agree with rest of the non pies that Farrell is the only one that leaves you scratching your head.  Fair doo's for the rest.

I've said before I think Manfredi is wigans best winger and if he was a regular he'd be in the England set up

With Burgess off to Easts, I hope and expect that Manfredi will be a first choice pick on the wing next season.
