Every Super League club ranked by Dream Team inclusions: Warrington Wolves 4th, St Helens 2nd…

We’re fast approaching the announcement of the 2024 Super League Dream Team, which means 13 names will be added to the long list of stars to have made the cut for the competition’s 13, whether that’s for the first time or not.

The 2024 instalment will be the 29th edition of the Dream Team, which has run since the dawn of Super League back in 1996.

Some quick maths will tell you that 28 years worth of Dream Teams works out at 364 selections – and of course, that doesn’t mean there’s been 364 different players in the Dream Team with numerous player over the years chosen multiple times.

But which clubs have produced the most Dream Team selections? Well, we’ve worked that out for you and stuck it in a ranking below.

18 clubs have produced at least one Dream Team player over the 28 years the XIII has been in existence so far, and we’ve ranked them from least inclusions to most.

If players have been selected multiple times, they count towards the tally as many times as they’ve been chosen.

For example, Wigan captain Liam Farrell has made the Dream Team six times so far in his career, so counts for six on the Warriors’ tally.

There are also players who have made the Dream Team while playing for different clubs. Jamie Peacock made it 11 times, for example.

Five of those inclusions came as a Bradford player, with six as a Leeds player. Accordingly, the Bulls get five on their tally and the Rhinos get six.

Without further ado, here’s the full ranking…
