Having been asked along with all the other TRP match reporters I put one together and I'll start the process (ducks back below parapet before shooting starts!). This is based only on what I have seen this season.
15 Alex
WilHuckleberryson – Leicester Lions – devastating finisher and accomplished defender 14 Anthony
Armstrong – Guernsey – powerful finisher who scored a hattrick at Esher 13 Jack
Forrest – Worthing – a real eye for a break and a great finisher 12 Sam Sterling
– Canterbury – rock-solid defender and powerful attacker 11 Matt
McLean – Worthing – consistent performer with a great kicking record 10 Sam Morley
– Esher – top points scorer in the League, sometimes simply unplayable 9 Jack
Oulton – Redruth – quick breaks and a strong pass allied to a great reading of
the game 8 Sean
Buzza – Redruth – strong ball carrier who leads a strong Cornish pack 7 Elliot
Quinton – Worthing – competitive and strong in the tackle 6 Liam
Perkins – Worthing – strong, committed and experienced; a great competitor 5 Jacob
Albon – Henley – powerful, athletic lock with great awareness and strong
lineout skills 4 Adam
Bullett – Esher – strong, powerful lock who has also been an inspiring captain 3 Theo Skoumbourdis – Esher – big, try-scoring
(6) prop who has been the cornerstone of a strong pack 2 Richard
Brown – Redruth – scores tries for fun but does all of the hard work as well |

Both brave and perceptive of you Halliford........shove over while i join you beneath the parapet.....maybe break out a few beers ?
I have inserted my own thoughts alongside your selections. I do not travel to as many away games as i used to.....so my opinions are not quite as informed as i would like them to be. 15 Alex WilHuckleberryson – Leicester Lions – devastating finisher and accomplished defender Agreed......he has had a great season and should return to us shortly. 14 Anthony Armstrong – Guernsey – powerful finisher who scored a hattrick at Esher Disagree....a big lad but i much prefer both Pozniak and Hargan 13 Jack Forrest – Worthing – a real eye for a break and a great finisher He has had a good season in attack and I have not seen a better tryscoring outside centre...so agreed 12 Sam Sterling – Canterbury – rock-solid defender and powerful attacker.....not seen better 11 Matt McLean – Worthing – consistent performer with a great kicking record I am a huge fan and Matt has scored nearly one third of all our points this year, but he is not a left winger. There are many better at 11 and I think our REAL 11, Curtis Barnes, is the best finisher in the league on either flank. For any that have not seen him ask Choppers fans. 10 Sam Morley – Esher – top points scorer in the League, sometimes simply unplayable Agreed....outstanding 9 Jack Oulton – Redruth – quick breaks and a strong pass allied to a great reading of the game As above...little contest....though McPhun looks a good player 8 Sean Buzza – Redruth – strong ball carrier who leads a strong Cornish pack Agreed 7 Elliot Quinton – Worthing – competitive and strong in the tackle Surprising choice......but he has been very good indeed of late and has nailed down a place as our open side. debateable 6 Liam Perkins – Worthing – strong, committed and experienced; a great competitor amazing on field leader and can play with equal effectiveness at 4,5,6 or 8......definitely in my team 5 Jacob Albon – Henley – powerful, athletic lock with great awareness and strong lineout skills i first watched him at Loughborough many years back......very good player and leader....so agreed. 4 Adam Bullett – Esher – strong, powerful lock who has also been an inspiring captain i would put Ed Sumpter up as the better athlete.....but Adam would do 3 Theo Skoumbourdis – Esher – big, try-scoring (6) prop who has been the cornerstone of a strong pack agreed 2 Richard Brown – Redruth – scores tries for fun but does all of the hard work as well clear winner though being on the back of te Choppers maul is a clear advantage Agreed |

oops.........missed a shout out for the Clifton 8, Talbot, who was outstanding against us and a prolific tryscorer......I also feel that the Clifton tight head Giltrow deserves a mention

Fair to say the Lions pack took a few teams apart this season, sure a couple of them would make the team.
