DUBBED pigs in rugby league circles, this mob is certainly an impressive group of prized hams.

The front row is an integral part of any rugby league side, with go forward from props just as crucial as the work done by a crafty half.
Vote for your favourite two props on this list and those with the highest polling percentages will make the cut as the People’s Choice Group 10 Team of the Year begins to take shape.
THE CONTENDERS
Luke Single (Bathurst St Pat’s): zero tries, 12 games.
Punches above his weight for St Pat’s week in, week out. Will have to continue to do so as the Saints push for a top-three berth.
Ron Lawrence (Cowra Magpies): three tries, 14 games.
An 80-minute prop with an impressive array of representative jumpers. One of the shining lights in an otherwise disappointing 2013 campaign from the Maggies.
Chris Rhodes (Lithgow Workies): three tries, 10 games.
One of the monsters who helped rampage through CYMS in the most dominant half of Group 10 football seen in a grand final last year. Now a premiership winner, Rhodes has risen to another level.
Arty Shead (Orange Hawks): three tries, 12 games.
The newest prop on the Group 10 scene, also arguably the best. A former international with France, Shead’s size and strength has been the catalyst for Hawks’ surge up the Group 10 ladder in 2013.
Wade Judd (Oberon Tigers): two tries, nine games.
Seems to get through a mountain of work for the Tigers each game. Not afraid of the tough stuff and leads from the front.
Jake Anlezark (Blayney Bears): three tries, 14 games.
Anlezark said following his side’s 46-10 loss to Workies: “Tough times don’t last, tough people do.” This former Cronulla under 20s prop is one of the toughest.
* tomorrow: hookers hope to rake in the votes
