Leeds Rhinos have asserted their dominance in the 2026 Super League season, securing six places in the annual Dream Team lineup. The selection, chosen through a collaborative voting process involving journalists, supporters, and former players, highlights the club’s standout performers this year.
The Leeds representatives include half-backs Jake Connor and Brodie Croft, full-back Lachie Miller, winger Maika Sivo, centre Ash Handley, and back-rower James McDonnell. Croft has been particularly instrumental for the Rhinos, having scored 28 tries across 27 games in all competitions so far in 2026.
Champions Wigan Warriors, who have already clinched the League Leaders’ Shield and are pursuing a potential treble, are represented by two players: hooker Brad O’Neill and winger Zach Eckersley.
Other notable inclusions feature Leigh Leopards centre Umyla Hanley and prop Joe Ofahengaue, while Wakefield Trinity’s Caleb Hamlin-Uele was selected to play alongside Ofahengaue in the front row. Ben Currie of Warrington Wolves earned a spot at loose forward, and Toulouse Olympique made history with Matthieu Jussaume becoming the club’s first ever Dream Team representative in the second row.
Connor, Hanley, and McDonnell retain their places from the previous year’s squad, underscoring their consistent excellence throughout the campaign.
I’m still stuck on Wigan winning the Leaders’ Shield but only having two players in the Dream Team. Seems odd given their success.
Did anyone else notice Jussaume making history for Toulouse? Small club, big moment. Respect.
Finally some good news for Rhinos fans! The young lads like Sivo and Handley look ready for the international stage.
Six players? That is a massive dominance from Leeds. Wonder if the rest of the league can catch up next year?
Jake Connor and Brodie Croft are absolutely firing this season. Well-deserved recognition for their partnership at half-back.
