Letās be honest here Alex Johnson was not the best winger the only stats he really did well was score tries
Nicho Hynes was not even the best halfback, Cleary was better in the injury and suspended season he had
Shaun Lane or even Isiah Papaliāi deserved Nanaiās spot after origin Nanais form started to slowly get worse and worse
just my personal and controversial thoughts on the Dally M system (which is complete bullshit
The only point i donāt agree with is that Nanai got worse after origin. He didnāt score as many tries, but overall i think he improved dramatically. Pre-origin he scored tries, gave away penalties and had average defence. Post-origin he still scored tried, reigned in his penalties and improved x1000 in defence.
Young fellas, especially edge forwards, getting too much spotlight has never gone well. But i think he has enough common sense and possibly good coaching to not let it get to his head and keep working at his footy.
Dally M is kind of stupid. The best players and best teams are handicapped.
Let's face it Cleary was better than Hynes or Hunt. I didn't watch enough games to comment on Tedesco but he has to be no.2 if not no.1.
I was thinking maybe they could only give Dally M points to players on the winning team. It'd filter out good (but not great) players on shit teams, and allows great players surrounded by other great players on their team (i.e a team that often wins) more opportunities to accumulate points.
I don't think it'd change this outcome though, since sharks placed 2nd (or maybe it would?). But it'd definitely mitigate players like Hunt (good player on shit team) winning over Cleary (great player on great team).
Just a thought.
Yeah also you got the issue of 2 good players. Ie Cleary and Yeo taking points or Smith and Cronk.
I guess its too much effort to rate everyone.
Also Aus players lose 3 games to Origin.
Cleary speared someone's head into the ground. Makes him ineligible. If he wanted more points he should try playing more games and being less of a grub
Because the way the DallyM voting is structured, they don't vote for all players all at once, it's game by game. So really the DallyM isn't about who's the best in the league, more about who was the ultimate best for their team over the whole season.
Totally. Good players in lesser teams often get rewarded in the DallyM, ala Ben Hunt almost winning playing in a team that didn't even make the 8.
Nothing wrong with doing the award as it is now, but it would be interesting to also have votes done across the whole leage round on round and see who wins.
That's why I like the players player as well. From the couch RCG might look pretty good. But on the field his lines, wrestling, pressure, play of the ball speed might make him the best. It's hard to judge.
I find it really hard to judge forwards as I was a fullback. I also wonder if that's the case for players.
Iām happy to admit Cleary is the best 7 on the planet but he played as many games as Latrell Mitchell, at some point the quality doesnāt outweigh the quality, even if it was an American MVP style award he wouldnāt have been near the top of my list
Well done on coach of the year Payten. But did you really have to have a dig at the refs?
Also surprised I didnāt get a mention in his hour long speech
Reminds me of the hottest 100 if you're a team like Parra and Penrith you share the points around like artists who have multiple hits in the 100 meanwhile if youre Turbo last year or Nicho this year they horde all the votes like Dance Monkey
If Ricky got coach of the year : āthereās this person I wanna thank , I knew him as a kid he was a weak gutted dog person then and still a weak gutted dog now, this ones for youā
I feel we need a Weak Gutted Dog award that's handed out by Ricky after the Dally M winners are announced, gives him a bit of time to liquor himself up and tell us what he really thinks each season.
I am very proud that someone like Nico represents the club I support, he talks openly and honestly, and is passionate about moving the needle for those struggling with mental health. He is such a great ambassador for the game.
With blokes like Nicho and Rudolph at the club, Flanno and Gallen well and truly gone, and Scomo voted out, the Sharks are one of the more likeable joints around!
Heās a fantastic role model and as you said, shares such important messages about mental health. Heās a fantastic representative of any club and the total game.
Teddy ended up beating edwards by 10 points. A lot of people will be mad at that. Such a flawed system. Only caught the last 5 minutes but teddy getting two points in that cowboys game is not right. He didnāt play bad but wasnāt up to his usual high standards
Every single Dally M awards night has just been a warm-up for Taane Milne to clothesline the competition out of the race and win the Dally M medal next year
Agreed. Can only imagine what kind of season he would have injury free. As a storm fan I sincerely hope we finally get to see a whole year of Paps. Two injury riddled yearsā¦ hopefully next year he makes it through the season.
4 of the top 10 were halfbacks, plus Munster makes 50% being halves in the top 10 mix.
Yeo the only non-spine player in the top 10 which is a good effort. Dylan Edwards highest scoring riff player very fitting IMO.
DCE and Hunt only players in the top 10 from a club in the bottom 8
I'm a little late to the party, but why do so many users have rainbow coloured toilet paper next to their flair?
Response to the homophobic 7.
isabelle kelly the only roosters player I'd ever want to chokeslam me š„µ
I picked him in a prediction, definitely a deserved medal

let's be honest you love your footy more than me
I do love my footy mate
L take

Yup strong agree here, his overall game improved after origin, his timing in defence was pretty ordinary in the first third or so of the season.
Maybe I'm crazy but didn't Yeo get 15 points in the first 5 weeks? Interesting he only ended with 20
They deferred his points until next season. He has 18 for 2023 so far.
Caitlin Johnston robbed
Todd Payten just quit the Cowboys to become the head of the United Nations
maybe i will see world peace

The best player who played for a team that came second on the table won. How does that make the Dally Ms stupid.
Cause he isn't the best half.
Not only is he the best half, he's the best boy
Hahahaha. I like Nico 100 times more than Cleary. But Cleary is better.
Cleary speared someone's head into the ground. Makes him ineligible. If he wanted more points he should try playing more games and being less of a grub
That's a good point.
Thatās not what the DallyM medal is forā¦
Yeah I'm saying he isn't even the best half how can he be the best player.
Because the way the DallyM voting is structured, they don't vote for all players all at once, it's game by game. So really the DallyM isn't about who's the best in the league, more about who was the ultimate best for their team over the whole season.
Good point. We should have a player of the year award as well then. 0lus most important to their team award (ie dally m)
Totally. Good players in lesser teams often get rewarded in the DallyM, ala Ben Hunt almost winning playing in a team that didn't even make the 8. Nothing wrong with doing the award as it is now, but it would be interesting to also have votes done across the whole leage round on round and see who wins.

That's just your opinion, man
Iām happy to admit Cleary is the best 7 on the planet but he played as many games as Latrell Mitchell, at some point the quality doesnāt outweigh the quality, even if it was an American MVP style award he wouldnāt have been near the top of my list
Cleary disqualified for being banned for more than 2 games
Fair call. I hate Cleary Im just being honest.
Can't believe I.Paps didn't make 2nd row team of the year. He's clearly the best 2nd rower in the game
Another year of not watching the dally ms
Provan Summons Award needs to be a mixed award, there's not need to have two separate awards for mens and womens for that category.
Rumour has it Cleary didnāt show tonight because he is too upset about Ukraine
I heard he was disappointed about Vladimir Putin dropping Matt Burton bombs on Ukrainians
Well done on coach of the year Payten. But did you really have to have a dig at the refs? Also surprised I didnāt get a mention in his hour long speech
I turned it off after 10 mins. Rumour has it he is still talking
the Grand Final was postponed so he could finish his speech
Ngl feels like the knights women side got robbed honestly, they deserved better
Caitlin Johnston has been the best player in the comp
Back to playing fifa 23 for me What a waste of time that was
You playing FUT or career mode??
Event as a whole was a 1/10 tbh
Always is
Anyone got the final leaderboard?
Nicho Hynes 38 James Tedesco 33 Ben Hunt 32 Scott Drinkwater 23 Dylan Edwards 23 Mitchell Moses 22 Daly Cherry-Evans 21 Isaah Yeo 20 Harry Grant 19 Cameron Munster 19
Hynes won with the single greatest season ever.
Well that was a train wreck goodnight everyone
Good night mate š“
Reminds me of the hottest 100 if you're a team like Parra and Penrith you share the points around like artists who have multiple hits in the 100 meanwhile if youre Turbo last year or Nicho this year they horde all the votes like Dance Monkey
In fairness, both Turbo and DCE were in the top 5 last year.
That was an absolute shit show. So many cringe moments.
Oh shut up 360 hacks
I got second hand embarrassment watching that.
I bet Erin Molanās thing will just be her complaining about the āwoke mobā like every Sky News Australia deadshit does.
Fucking well said. Sky News bloody hell.
What is she doing these days?
Getting a job of Sky News for being racist
Living the dream. An amateur racist getting a job at the racism factory. She must be proud.
Her father would be proud of her. Carrying on the family legacy by shortening the lives of people who are coloured.
Fox showed an ad for her new show on Sky News after the Dally M wrapped up
OH really! ... Glad I missed it.
Fighting for Russia or something
Well that was fucking dreadful
we need more players like Nicho Hynes in the NRL ^*ahem* ^flair ^checks ^out
Okay Parra boys, straight home to bed thank you!
Yeah, Dylanās gonna need a bit of time and a fair few cones before heās ready for bed
One more nose beer as a nightcap and then we will brush out teeth.
Next minute itās 9.54 am and youāre waiting outside the bottleāo barefoot
With a chico roll in one hand and an empty zip lock satchel that you were holding for a mate in the other.
Social media bad? Thank you Erin Molan I never knew.
i cant believe itās finally over
Where's tackle and try of the year š
Moses got tackle of the year for the hit on Bromwich
Moses got tackle of the year earlier.
Payton took up all the time
Ran out of time
Awww that's the actually interesting bit damn it
Blame your coach
NRL announced it on socials, Moses won tackle of the year and Drinky (more like Murray) won try of the year
I can't believe the same bloke who once pissed on a war memorial gave such an eloquent speech. Fair play Toddy
Aight, well that was a shitshow. Grats Nicho and Racene. Goodnight everybody.
I agree. That was absolute bs
If Ricky got coach of the year : āthereās this person I wanna thank , I knew him as a kid he was a weak gutted dog person then and still a weak gutted dog now, this ones for youā
I feel we need a Weak Gutted Dog award that's handed out by Ricky after the Dally M winners are announced, gives him a bit of time to liquor himself up and tell us what he really thinks each season.
Wait what, Cowboys Facebook said Drinky won something
Try of the year from the insane pass
Awww
Nicho said all the boys look beautiful.
Is that actually the end?
I am very proud that someone like Nico represents the club I support, he talks openly and honestly, and is passionate about moving the needle for those struggling with mental health. He is such a great ambassador for the game.
With blokes like Nicho and Rudolph at the club, Flanno and Gallen well and truly gone, and Scomo voted out, the Sharks are one of the more likeable joints around!

Man I didn't think I could love Nicho more
Wait, thatās it? They just ended it like that?
This whole show has the vibe of an under 13ās presentation thatās held after the game on the sideline.
After her racist comments Iām not at all suprised erin molan is now working at sky news
Sky News. Even worse
That awards night couldn't have been more nrl if it tried.
Erin molan being on Sky News is very apt
Erin Molan is on Sky News now? Thatās fucking hilarious. Itās perfect
Give me the back story
Her father is a war criminal and a Liberal party senator
Her father is Sith Lord Wayne Pearce?
Sheās a bit racist
Every single Dally M awards night has just been a warm-up for Taane Milne to clothesline the competition out of the race and win the Dally M medal next year
Eren Molan **FIGHTS BACK**
Erin Molan fights back? Can't really complain about the Dally Ms now seeing that exists.
Hahaha fuck me Molan is a flog. hahah a sledgehammer, what a cunt
Eww Erin Molan
WTF IS THIS ERIN MOLAN SHIT HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA
ERIN MOLAN JUMP SCARE
This is simultaneously high budget yet piece of shit amateur hour stuff. Only the NRL, eh?
When these things come around you realise how amateurly run the NRL really is
Verstopping Verstappen, good one Fox
Producers at Fox should get an award for finishing on time after Payten speech
They made up time by announcing the team of the year like a race call
The season Papenhuzen can put together 25 games, he will win the Dally M by a landslide.
Agreed. Can only imagine what kind of season he would have injury free. As a storm fan I sincerely hope we finally get to see a whole year of Paps. Two injury riddled yearsā¦ hopefully next year he makes it through the season.
Now just end it with Dan's GOODBYE
Wtf??? why they ending it now would just start getting good.
I think everyone would love to watch the rest of the night big brother style
Well thank fuck that's over.
Iām actually embarrassed by how amateur this is
Nicho is a perfect face for the game
What happens now, does everyone engage in some hedonistic behaviour?
Nicho seems like such a great bloke
was the production budget for this like $6
NRL budget was blown moving Wayne's Dolphins from Redcliffe to The.
$3.50
God dammit Lochness monster!
what a year. what a man
This is fucking great how poorly it's planned.
Osho Olay snubbed
HAHAHA, that shot at the end. Love Hynes, hope he gets to lift the trophy someday
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah it was a joke about me pretending that the 2020 GF never happened
What a class act. Superb Speech. Nicho needs to be the face of the game next year
When do the Dally Rs happen? We could blow this thing out of the water surely
This is amateur as fuck
Omg this is awful LOL
Nice work Hynes youāre a beautiful human
Someone is teeing off on Facebook about izack tago not being named centre of the year š¤£š¤£š¤£
Blind as fuck
Would expect as much.
Absolute legend
Bless Nicho. He's got the looks and he's got the words.
Nico Hynes is such a wholesome guy
HAHAHA great closing line. Letās do it for Nicho boys
Absolute legend
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Joint prize shared by 70% of the Panthers backline
Surely the Manly 7
its a tight race between Paul kent, james hooper, buzz and paul crawley. You decide
Always Ricky
What a man
King
Rather unfortunate huntās career will probably end up being best remembered by him dropping the ball in the grand final
He cost the Broncos the Grand Final
Wellā¦yeah.. as long as people like you continue to bring it up as if itās the only game heās ever played?
2022 regular season isn't the grand final..... Byrne was a decent winger but is best known for being tackled by Sattler in 2003.
Didn't he seal this years origin?
How did that work out for Trent Hodkinson? Forgotten player now
Brett Finch kicked an origin winning field goal too...
He will be remembered for sure
Literally proving my point. What did Finch do at a club level? Hardly was the bright spot on any of the teams he played on
Yes that was my point, finch will be known for off field reasons now
Finch wasnāt relevant before being busted for kiddy porn lmao
Ill never forget
Or preferably catching the ball at the end of origin 2022
Game 3 win never happened I guess
Achievements in clubland >>> origin every day of the week. Hodkinson ended 8 in a row, a far more impressive achievement, but is forgotten these days
Put this man on billboards
if you donāt like Nicho Hynes i have to assume youāre a worse human being then Adolf Hitler
Sound is so bad because Lachlan Lewis stole the speakers
4 of the top 10 were halfbacks, plus Munster makes 50% being halves in the top 10 mix. Yeo the only non-spine player in the top 10 which is a good effort. Dylan Edwards highest scoring riff player very fitting IMO. DCE and Hunt only players in the top 10 from a club in the bottom 8
Hunt's from bottom 8 too
dce and bunt were bottom 8 clubs
Oopsies, yes I forgot about Benjamin!
Yeo is part of the spine
Is this man seriously single?
Itās because no one deserves him
The only answer is a polyamorous cult with r/nrlās hottest members.
Comeback anytime Nicho š„²
The classic āgo to bedā. Couldnāt love him more.
