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

1             Ricky Cano – Clifton – seasoned competitor who always makes life difficult for opponents

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


1             Ricky Cano – Clifton – seasoned competitor who always makes life difficult for opponents

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.
