Dally M Night - Your thoughts

[Captain Apollo]

Is it but? It’s a news corp event, the NRL are just too lazy to do their own.

It was a News Corp event. The Dally M's are owned lock, stock and barrell now by the NRL.

I think the NRLW awards were way more shocking than NRL. As someone who follows NRLW I can definitely see a real bias/clique within NRLW awards and votes.

Harry Grant would win by a landslide. The ballot box would be stuffed.

@SLRBRONCOS smashing the vote button still only counts are one vote. There’s got to be some rules…right?

Thing is if you look at the form though, the Sharks lost its first game to the Roosters in Round 8 40-0, then folloowed thaty up by losing 20-16 against the Broncos the following week, and made it a trifecta of losses to end the regular season losing 12-10 to the Tigers, which was the Tigers second win of the year. The Broncs and Roosters only lost 2 games all season and both ended the regular season with good wins against some quailty opposition.

The Knights lost 3 games, but most of those losses were somewhat close.

In all honesty, the amounmt of talent in each squad in the NRLW Top 4 this season would make it easier for players at the other sides to poll points more regulalry as they wouldn't be splitting the votes between them.

Meh, point still stands about the NRL being too lazy to do their own.

It's called coach of the year, not coach of the 5 years.

Rugby League history started in 2020. Ask any Penrith fan.

Forget the fact Ivan couldn't coach before then.

Let me stuff that ballot box honey

I thought Abdo’s acknowledgment of country was heartfelt and not in any way corporate box ticking.

V’Landys also appeared to be dozing off too during Abdo’s wheeze before someone behind him prodded him awake.

Yvonne Sampson held the whole shambles together with aplomb.

Titans finished 3rd last including some absolute drubbings yet had 4 girls nominated for team of the year and 2 girls get into that team.
In previous years Ron Griffith literally took a team that finished dead last and failed to win a game to back to back premierships and was snubbed for coach of the year both times.
I’m genuinely bemused Abbi Church somehow finished 2nd and polled like twice as many points as Tamika Upton, these are their stats
Church:
9 games
1 try
7 line breaks
0 try assists
157m per game

Upton:
10 games
7 tries
7 line breaks
13 try assists
124m per game

Church literally had 1 try involvement all year where as Upton had 2 try involvements per game.

It's just another Panther snubbing from the media. Similar to no Panthers winning the major player award since 1985.

They would have had one in 2003 and the NRL refuses to retroactively award it

Hilarious

 

[bad boy bubby]

I'd even say possibly Norm Provan ( 4 GF wins from 4 attempts)

You missed 1978.
Norm was coach of Cronulla in the drawn then subsequent loss to Manly. 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

He was only the best because he was at a crap club where he got a solid go.

Your opinion...can't say I understand it

Couldn't coach....got our basket case of a club to 5 finals in 7 years, would've made another if not for salary cap breaches not on his tenure, then we make 2 in 13 years after he goes. And 3 in 13 years before he arrived.

Dude is a coaching savant. He wins on Sunday, he has coached more premiership victories than Craig Bellamy (f**k off to anyone who counts 2007 and 2009). I hope he does.
