My premiership team for the season so far would be:
1 Nick Wood
2 David Paice
3 Castrogiovanni
4 Steve Bortwick
5 Nick Kennedy
6 James Haskell
7 Akapusi Qera
8 Jordan Crane
9 Danny care
10 Danny Cipriani
11 Matt Banahan
12 Shane Geraghty
13 Mike Tindall
14 James Simpson-Daniel
15 Mike Brown.

This is based on all of the games I have watched on sky or with Gloucester home and away(live)
 
it's amazing, though our teams aren't that similar all of the differences are players I seriously considered.
 
1-Sheridan
2-Botha
3-Catrogiovanni
4-Jack
5-Borthwick
6-Strokosch
7-Qera
8-Crane
9-Lawson

I must dispute your selection of Strokosch although he has played well he is a limited player you cant say he has played better than James Haskell who has been superb.
 
Its all opinion mate, when i watch Hakell i dont see anything particularily special
 
He's in at outside centre, which was a mistake :lol: swap him and Tuitupou round

I'd have Danny Care at 9, Mcalister (as you just stated :p) at 12 and Tuitupou at 13.

You`ve picked Strokosch and Lawson on pure Scottish bias. I watch these two guys week in week out and although they are both 100%ers they have no way deserved to be in the prem 15. lawson is a very unpopular player this season due to his aimless box kicks and poor decision making. The only thing that keeps him in the team is the joker they call " Gareth Cooper".
 
Haven't seen enough of Worcester to comment on Tuitupou. Can't say I've really seen enough Premiership Rugby to pick a 1-15, I just know McAlister has been awesome every time I've seen him.
 
McAlister has a great step. I would put in Ellis though as halfback. and I definetly agree on the Italian Castrogiovanni as Prop
 
1 A. Sheridan
2 D. Paice
3 M. Castrogiovanni
4 C. Jack
5 S. Borthwick
6 A. Qera
7 M. Lipman
8 J. Crane
9 D. Care
10 D. Cipriani
11 M. Banahan
12 A. Powell (Saracens)
13 S. Rabeni
14 L. Vainikolo
15 M. Brown

Ellis has only played a couple of games so he cant be in the prem dream team.
 
1. Sheridan
2. Chuter
3. Castrogivanni
4. Rawlinson
5. Jack
6. Haskell
7. Lipman
8. Easter
9. Wigglesworth
10. Cipriani
11. Benjamin
12. Tuitupou
13. Barkley
14. Vainokolo
15. Tait

there we go... unsure about 8 and 15 though!!!
 
i'd have Haskell at 8 and perhaps Moody at 6. if he wasn't injured.

Tait hasn't impressed me at fullback either, so swap him for Brown.
Danny Care is also the form SH of the season so far, so he'd go in at 9. Aside from that, im with Oli Taylor on this one.
 
Based on form:
1.Sheridan
2. Paice
3. Castrogiovanni
4. Borthwick
5. Kennedy
6. Haskell
7. Quera
8. Crane
9. Care
10. Cipriani
11. Vainikolo
12. McCalister
13. Simpson-Daniel
14. Sackey
15. Lewsey
