The Super League Dream Team for 2026 has been revealed, with six Leeds Rhinos players included. The Dream Team was selected through three elements, combining the views of the Man of Steel panel (50% per cent), a selected group of Rugby League journalists (30 per cent), and Super League fans (20%). The conclusion of the vote saw six Leeds players chosen along with two Wigan Warriors players, two Leigh Leopards players, plus a player each from Wakefield Trinity, Warrington Wolves, and Toulouse Olympique.
Such low representation for the Warriors may come as a surprise given that they have already wrapped up a domestic double and are on the hunt for the treble if they reach the Grand Final. Brad Arthur's Rhinos were flying high throughout the majority of the season until they faltered against Matt Peet's side and ultimately finished second. Four players in the team have been included before, with the other nine making their first appearance.
Let's take a look at who has been chosen as the best of the best across the regular Super League season in 2026... Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Miller has lit up Super League in 2026, really hitting his stride in the fullback position. He was top of the Man of Steel standings for the opening nine rounds and was right in the mix for the second third of the season too.
Unfortunately, Miller has suffered a season-ending hamstring injury, which will leave all fans wondering just how much influence he could have had for Leeds in the play-offs. His link-ups with his half-backs have been electrifying to watch and his pace means he is a mean feat to stop in broken play. Wigan's Jai Field has also been strong in the fullback role, but in 2026, Miller has been chosen as the competition's most consistent.
On the wings, we have a try-scoring phenom and a youngster who has had a year to remember in which his career has truly been set alight. Before suffering his forearm injury at the end of July in round 20, Maika Sivo was scoring at a freakish rate and finishes as Super League's top try scorer with 29 tries. It is a symbol in itself that he missed six rounds of action and still finished top.
Eckersley, meanwhile, has excelled on the wing for Wigan this year and has been making metres for his team at some rate. He has 27 tries to his name, just two less than Sivo, but has developed into a winger that Wigan can truly rely on in all facets of their game. In the centres, Ash Handley and Umyla Hanley take the spoils.
