Dream Team: Nick Selway – Jersey hooker

1. Sam Lockwood – The first of many in this team who went from Jersey to the . Impressive scrummager with great skills and now doing well at .
2. Marc Jones – Does the basics really well. He's gone back to this summer but I always had good battles with him at the set piece when he was at .
3. Harry Williams – Very strong and aggressive. That's why he left us to join and I'm really pleased he got his debut in . He did really well there too.
4. Alex Rae – A good leader who runs the lineout really well. He's also the only bloke who would smash me in training so I had to have him in my team.
5. Matt Challinor – Doncaster's club captain and a real work horse who just gets on with the job in the engine room. Puts some big hits in defence and carries well.
6. Latu Makaafi – Used to play with Matt at Doncaster and always seemed to know where the try line was. He's a bit of a loose canon when he plays but I like that.
7. Gary Graham – He'll play with Sam in Newcastle next season and he'll tackle anything that comes his way. He's a bit of a big-baller to be fair to him.
8. Nick Haining – The big Aussie can make anything happen on the pitch breaking tackles for fun. I'm sure he'll do really well in Bristol next season.
9. Sami Fisilau – The Tongan international is built like a back row but he's proven during his time in Jersey that he can pass and kick with both feet.
10. Ryan Lamb – He runs a good game. He's never afraid to have a go himself and I really like the way he attacks the gainline.
11. Ross Adair – Jersey's Irish kid is a big joker but he's also a very good young wing who tends to score a lot of tries.
12. Martin Roberts – He sadly passed away last year but he had a huge influence on me when I was in the academy. A very good player who'd run through a brick wall for the team.
13. Fautua Otto – The big Samoan always produced some magic on the field and he was always up for a drink after a game.
14. Tommy Bowe – We played against in the B&I Cup last October and he was there coming back from an injury. Such a class act and it was amazing to see how much ground he could cover.
15. Tommy Bell – He came to Jersey for a few weeks a couple of seasons ago and he always scored 15 points a game. He was brilliant for last season and I truly believe he belongs in the Premiership.
