Fox Sports has the 2010 Dally M Awards, on Tuesday September 7, covered both online and on TV with live and exclusive coverage of rugby league's night of nights.

Broadcast starts at 8.30pm (EST) on Fox Sports 2HD and Fox Sports 2 - but the night begins much earlier online with foxsports.com.au rugby league expert Christopher Sutton bringing you all the glitz and glamour from the State Theatre.

The night marks the 30th anniversary of the awards and will again be hosted by Fox Sports' resident NRL experts Warren Smith, Laurie Daley and Greg Alexander.

Fox Sports rugby league personality Renee Gartner will be joined on the red carpet by Gorden Tallis for all the excitement and glamour of the arrivals and last word from players before the tally count begins.

The night will see the Dally M Team of the Year announced, including all positional awards as well as the captain, coach, representative player and Toyota Cup player of the year.

NRL fans also weigh in with their say as the Provan-Summons Medal is awarded to the people's choice as player of the year.

St George Illawarra fullback Darius Boyd was leading the race to claim the night's major gong, the Dally M Medal, when voting went behind closed doors after round 16.

South Sydney's Issac Luke, Penrith's Lachlan Coote, Brisbane Broncos' Sam Thaiday and Cronulla's Paul Gallen were Boyd's nearest challengers in an extremely close field.

Will be closely contested Carney, Boyd and Gallen are the most likely, imo Dugan is the smokey but he probably has to much ground to cover.

 

[Deacon]

I think Boyd wrapped in up in the past fortnight, 3 points v the Knights and at least 2 last night

 

[TheDalek079]

when do we find out the nominations in each position?

 

[CMUX]

It might mean bugger all but Carney won the ABC Warren Ryan Medal (same 3-2-1 system as Dally M) by 3 points form Isaac Luke I believe.

 

[ANTiLAG]

I'm intrigued by the Maloney v Gillette rookie battle.

 

[Special K]

Maloney isn't up for rookie.. He is up for 5/8

Gardner should win rookie!

 

[ANTiLAG]

Maloney isn't up for rookie.. He is up for 5/8

Gardner should win rookie!

Well thats a farce, he only played 4 games before this year! This year he has guided an injury ravaged and 2nd favourites for spoon team to 5th.

Ridiculous.

Got an url for nominations?

 

[user_nat]

Is rep player of the year just based on the Anzac test and SoO? No real obvious winners there IMO.

 

[Special K]

No url... Just trust me ;-)

 

[Jobdog]

If Uate doesn't win winger of the year, they're kidding.

 

[DeeJ]

Is rep player of the year just based on the Anzac test and SoO? No real obvious winners there IMO.

Lockyer, Slater and Shillington stood out the most for me in terms of excellent and consistent performances.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Maloney isn't up for rookie.. He is up for 5/8

Gardner should win rookie!

Gardner, Gillett and Fifita would all be satisfying winners of rookie of the year.

 

[league]

Boyd should have picked up 3 points last night and maybe 2 the week before.

Farah imo.

 

[redvscotty]

I managed to get on Boyd when he was paying $101, while ill be happy if he gets up, I will wish I had of laid down a 20 instead of a pocket change 5.

 

[jc155776]

Shillington for Rep player would be my choice.

Gillett will win Rookie of the year due to the Broncos FTA exposure.

I am probably bias but Gardner has been playing in a team being regurly thrashed but still standing out every game as great player.

Hodgkinson, Gardner, Gillett and Hoffman (is he a rookie) would be my 4 choices as nominees.

 

[MacDougall]

Why isn't Maloney counted as a Rookie? I thought they had to play more than five games in the season before?

 

[Eels Dude]

Why isn't Maloney counted as a Rookie? I thought they had to play more than five games in the season before?

No it's 3 games.
