2023 Dally M Awards

Good Queenslander

 

[shiznit]

Bit of a shock… but good on KP!

after the concussion issues he had it’s a hell of a story!

 

[This Year?]

Congrats to all the Dally M winners.

Who took the one point off SJ in round 26?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Is 20 games the least someone has played to win the medal (in a 24 game season)?

Tommy Turbo I think played about 18

 

[blaza88z]

You gotta be a standout in an average side to win that medal, no further proof than what we’ve just witnessed

 

[mozza91]

f**k yeah well done KP. To come back and do what he did after all the head knocks was amazing. Do feel bad for Johnson though, he had the more consistent year.

In 05 Joey lost by a point despite playing about 15 games. That said, there would have been plenty of guys who missed games either side of origin and still won it.

 

[Someone2]

Lol ponga

he dogged it the first half of season until the embarrassment of getting dropped from origin

 

[JokerEel]

Ponga.....

Played 20 games won 12 somehow of those 12 got more points than Cleary who won 16 games this year........

 

[nick87]

This system is somehow even more screwy than the old one. Ponga had an awesome half year, and that's good enough. But no way he was the best player this year.

Most frudulant Dally M winner since they handed the award to the toofless wonder from LOL@Souffs Jack Wighton. Disgraceful

All seriousness the quickest and easiest formula in this kind of system is to be a stand out player in a very bad team. Doesnt seem like we're actually giving this award to the best player lol

Cleary loses points to too many others. That and it's as much a popularity contest as it is about being best on field in a game.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Hope ol’ KP doesn’t have too big a night, he might need someone to hold his hair while he pukes his guts up later.

Yep Women's and Men's team of the year is also a joke...
Fafita?
No Southwell...

 

[Apey]

Seriously, this WNRL stuff slows the show painfully down.

it's really just the speeches and the faux suspense they do when they read out the counts.

Not to have a go at the ladies but the Coach of the Year was a Payten tier speech and the winner of the community award had a long as f**k speech too.

 

[Someone2]

After the last 3 winners I think it’s time to get rid of the Dally M’s altogether

it’s a boring show to watch

 

[no name]

It’s run by News limited, of course it’s going to be dodgy. And the 6 point thing just adds to the dodginess.
NRL need to grow a set and run their own award.
In saying that, both Ponga and Johnson had awesome years and dragged their teams from mediocrity to challengers. I think SJ probably deserved it more but Ponga was great over the last 10 or so weeks.

 

[nick87]

Cleary will struggle to win it with that team, too many people want to spread the love

Cleary could play for the Bulldogs, win 6 games and that'd be a clearer route to a Dally M

 

[Wb1234]

Players looked good in the black suits

shame most couldn’t afford socks

 

[Apey]

So Hynes is the best halfback?
The system is totally broken!

Did you just figure this out? It's always been broken. Just look at the top 10 - 3 Panthers players taking points off each other. You either have to be truly outstanding in a good team or the best in an average - shit team.
