NRL defends Dally M anonymity after Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow’s voting puzzlers​

The NRL has defended the decision to keep Dally M judges anonymous after Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow’s opening-round point headlined a number of puzzling votes.

Tabuai-Fidow was handed one Dally M point on Sunday, despite being among the worst players on field in the Dolphins’ 43-18 loss to North Queensland.

On a difficult afternoon, the Dolphins fullback made two errors and inexplicably kicked a loose ball back at the Cowboys for them to score.

He also fell for a dummy for the Cowboys’ first try, and missed a tackle on Jeremiah Nanai for North Queensland’s second.

The Queensland State of Origin representative had one highlights play late, making a break on a kick return before Jack Bostock scored for the Dolphins.

It comes after Warriors star Shaun Johnson was pipped by just one point for the 2023 Dally M medal by Knights playmaker Kalyn Ponga.

Mystery surrounded the round 25 match against Manly in which Johnson had three try assists, combined with Nicholl-Klokstad to set up two other tries and kicked well, before slotting a 79th-minute field goal to make the game safe. But he missed out on any voting points.

The NRL opted to make judges anonymous last season in an overhaul of the Dally M system for integrity purposes, with two judges appointed to each game now.

Under the system, each judge awards a 3-2-1, with the points combined and a maximum of six points therefore available to one player.

Shaun Johnson was seemingly a victim of a flawed Dally M system in 2023.

“They are all high-profile former players, and it shouldn’t matter who they are,” NRL head of football Graham Annesley said.

“They’ve got a job to select players who are their peers because they’ve done exactly what these players have done.

“Across the course of the season, the players will be judged by many of these judges, and it’s not like we’ve got these judges doing the same teams every week.

“It’s about the credibility and the integrity of the process, so it shouldn’t matter who is doing the selections as long as they’re people who are qualified to do it.”

Adam Reynolds received one point in Brisbane’s 20-10 loss to the Sydney Roosters in Las Vegas, while Joey Manu was given none despite scoring one try and setting up another for the winners.

Cronulla playmaker Nicho Hynes’s perfect six points in their win over the Warriors also raised some eyebrows.

“It’s a season-long competition, and people will agree or disagree [with the votes],” Annesley said.

“It happens publicly for the first half of the year and then it goes behind closed doors.

“That’s been the process for recent seasons, and it’s the process again. It’s a matter of opinion.”

Meanwhile, Annesley conceded he did not believe the Cowboys should have been awarded a second-half penalty try in Sunday’s win, but said it was a matter of opinion for bunker officials.

While he said Jack Bostock had obstructed Zac Laybutt in the in-goal, he did not believe it was a try-scoring situation as the ball bounced away from Laybutt.

Annesley also believed a try should have been awarded to Kyle Feldt late, with the bunker ruling the Cowboys winger had dropped the ball in putting it down.

But the NRL’s football boss defended a decision to deny Penrith a try for an obstruction in Friday night’s loss to Melbourne, labelling it a “black-and-white” call.

Seeing Nico get 6 Daly M points for doing nothing, I think the players award matters more which SJ won.

 

[Billyspleen75]

I think as fans we need to start actively caring less about the Dally M awards. The RLPA award is so much better in every way

The club should just snub the Dally M awards. If Hynes can get full points for basically turning up and the Hammer gets a point for that shocker then you know it is not a serious award. Not sure if the RLPA has a night out for their awards but if they do we should go to that instead.

Hynes is a media darling. He has a great story about overcoming and dealing with mental illness. hence the media loves him and holds him to such self-esteem. being a decent person and overcoming stuff doesn't mean you are a good player and deserve on the field accolades. He was really ordinary this year and has started the season the same way.

He was also very vocal throughout the week on the Mamm situation which the media loved.

His stats from the game were terrible!!

only thing i noticed him do on Friday was constantly go up to the ref and just act like an only child having a cry that they didn't get their way.

They should have their own award ceremony for sure.
Broadcast on Youtube
Bloke in a Bar to host
Players to wear their best "fit" rather than suits
Interviews will be more casual and interesting

Would much rather watch that.

As if it needed to be said, Dally M voting stays cooked.

I'm going to stop doing the weekly post like this and just update post #1 in the thread with the overall leaderboard and a Warriors-only one from now on

 

[Defence]

So Melbourne players got all the points from that game?
What if Coates doesn’t pull that miracle out of his ass? Do we get all the points?
What a farce.
Nico handed another 6 too- why dont they drop the charade and just give him the medal now.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Nico Hynes getting all 6 points is a joke. Fox Sports put up 3 players for their player of the week that people vote on.. one of them was from the Sharks and it wasn’t Hynes!

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Absolute farce.

So when we beat Knights, Ponga is determined the best player on the field and gets 4 points.
When we beat the Raiders, they get a quarter of the Daly M points, but then when we play amazing against the Storm and are pipped at the post, we receive nothing?

That will do me.
