Leeds Rhinos’ Mikolaj Oledzki says it’s a “big honour” to make the Betfred Super League Dream Team for the first time - but he never expected to do so. The strong-running prop is the only Leeds player to make the cut in the 2022 side.
It is richly deserved given the excellent form he has shown this term, with the front-row making more metres (2,768) than any other forward in the competition. Oledzki is also in Super League’s top ten for tackling and proved a powerhouse again as Rhinos secured their play-offs spot with Saturday’s scrappy 14-8 win over Castleford.
The England international, 24, has had his best campaign to date and said: “I felt last year I played pretty good rugby. I really enjoyed my rugby last year. And this year, although we had a tough start, I'm really enjoying my rugby at the moment.
