Drew Darbyshire

We create alphabetical dream teams from all the players in the Super League era.

It is now time for a dream XIII from all the players whose last name begin with L

1 Jonny Lomax

Lomax has been one of the best players in Super League for a number of years now, having scored 111 tries in 240 games for St Helens to date. The Great Britain and England international has won two Super League Grand Finals and has been named in the Super League Dream Team twice.

2 Tom Lineham

Tom Lineham will serve the final game of a three-match suspension when Warrington face Hull KR.

Lineham burst onto the Super League scene with Hull in 2011 following a spell with York and has scored 150 tries in 209 career appearances so far. The England Knights international has won a Challenge Cup with Warrington and was named in the Super League Dream Team in 2013.

3 Stuart Littler

Littler was a fan’s favourite at Salford in his time at The Willows, scoring 112 tries in 329 appearances for the club. Littler then went on to play for Leigh, Rochdale and Swinton. He earned 19 caps for Ireland and is current head coach of Swinton and the Ireland national team.

4 Jamie Lyon

Lyon will be forever be regarded as one of the greatest players to play in Super League. The Australia and New South Wales Star was named Man of Steel in 2005 and was named in the Super League Dream Team in both seasons he was at St Helens. He won the double with Saints in 2006.

5 Reece Lyne

Lyne is a centre by trade but can also play on the wing. He has scored 55 tries in 185 appearances for Wakefield since 2012 and made his England debut in 2018.

6 Adrian Lam

It was an incredibly tough call out of Warrington favourite Allan Langer and Wigan star Lam – both legends at their respective clubs, but we’ve just edged towards Lam because of the impact he had on Super League. Lam was named in the Super League Dream Team three years on the spin between 2001-03 and helped the Warriors win the Challenge Cup in 2002. He is currently head coach of Wigan.

7 Sean Long

The Great Britain and England international became a legend at St Helens between 1997-2009, scoring 124 tries and kicking 812 goals in 265 games for the club.

9 Tommy Leuluai

The 39-time New Zealand international has made more than 300 appearances fort he Warriors. Leuluai has won two Super League titles, a Challenge Cup, a World Club Challenge and a World Cup.

11 Ali Lauitiiti

The New Zealand and Samoa international joined Leeds from New Zealand Warriors in 2004 and became a fan’s favourite at Headingley. Lauitiiti won five Super League titles and two World Club Challenges with the Rhinos before going on to enjoy four seasons with Wakefield. He was named in the Super League Dream Team twice.

12 Michael Lawrence
