While Hull claimed six spots, Warrington had four players named.

Castleford (two players) and Wigan (one) round out the team.

Castleford’s Luke Gale is the only holdover from the 2015 team, with nine debutants named.

All three players shortlisted for the Man of Steel award – Gareth Ellis, Danny Houghton and Denny Solomona – earned a spot, with Ellis making his fifth appearance in the team and his first since 2008.
