Proud Peacock in Dream Team for sixth year

13 April 2012

Jamie Peacock, the Leeds Rhinos and Great Britain Test forward, has been named in the Super League Dream Team for the sixth time.

Peacock, who captained Great Britain in last year's Gillette Tri-Nations tournament in Australia and is likely to lead the Lions against New Zealand next month, equals the record of St Helens hooker Keiron Cunningham.

GB captain Peacock equals Kieron Cunningham's record

Cunningham misses out this year, replaced by his understudy at St Helens, James Roby.

Roby is one of nine new faces alongside Kevin Penny, Adam Mogg, Jason Demetriou, Scott Donald, Trent Barrett, Nick Fozzard, Glen Morrison and Stephen Wild.

Jet-heeled 19-year-old Warrington winger Penny only made his Super League debut in June and has made a sensational start to his career, scoring 13 tries in 13 games.

Meanwhile, it is all change at Hull KR despite the club surviving in Super League after winning promotion a year ago when they were named favourites to go straight back down.

Rovers are setting their sights considerably higher for next year and yesterday released 12 players in addition to losing on-loan full back Ian Hardman and the retiring Australian forward Mark O'Neill.

They have already announced six new signings and there are more on the way.

Dream Team — Paul Wellens (St Helens); Kevin Penny (Warrington), Adam Mogg (Catalans), Jason Demetriou (Wakefield), Scott Donald (Leeds); Trent Barrett (Wigan), Rob Burrow (Leeds); Nick Fozzard, James Roby (St Helens), Jamie Peacock, Gareth Ellis (Leeds), Glen Morrison (Bradford), Stephen Wild (Huddersfield).
