Picking a Super League team using only one player from each club with panel torn

Some players proved to be popular choices in our unique Super League team.

On the most recent episode of House of League a listener posed an interesting scenario to debate. We were asked to select a Super League team that featured one player from every team in the competition, as well as a wildcard.

There are a countless number of combinations that could be used to fill that team, and it certainly got us thinking. With plenty of talent to choose from, there were a countless number of alterations made before the Rugby League Live team eventually came to a conclusion on their respective teams.

It was determined that the wildcard should be a current captain of a team, which limited the flexibility somewhat, but made the team selections even more interesting. However, this also got us wondering how readers would fare in picking teams of their own, and that's something we'd like to encourage right now.

Below are Matt and Dan's teams that they put together, but could you do better? We'd love to hear from you in our comment section!
