NRL Dally M Awards 2024

[j_p]

Someone suggested it but clubs need to not show up to the awards. Players choice award is the only 1 that matters and sj won it last year.

To add on I wish 1 of the players take the NRL to court. The officiating has been embarrassing as a professional sport in the last few rounds.

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.

He does one 50 metre run and is best on field lol. I wonder how coach of the year is picked?

 

[Cces]

So we can safely assume that one judge went:
3-Ponga
2-SJ
1-Egan

& the other:
3-RTS
2-Frizzell
1-Ponga

Yep I’m done with following Daily M. Its become a pointless award, just a popularity contest now.

And now wait for all the journalists who do the voting to come out with articles or appear on NRL 360 saying how great the system is. Actually, what it's become just makes me want to vomit!!

However that’s not correct is it. Ben Hunt got the 6 votes.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

As for who was best on ground in our game, my initial reaction to Ponga picking up the votes was wtf. However on reflection I think he probably was the most dangerous player - without him the Knights were very average.

He may have looked like the most dangerous player but he had relatively little impact on the game

It will be interesting to look back at the end of the season and see how many times the highest point scorer in a game comes from the losing team

That's disgusting. Tommy was close to the worst player on the park in that game. Clearly an agenda by judges to help NRLs darlings get the most points.

Turns out it was an April Fool's pisstake

So far out of the 32 games that's been played, 30 of them the top points have gone to a winning team.

Cowboys v Knights went to golden point and while the Knights lost, Adam Elliot received top points. To me, that's reasonable as after 80 both teams were even, so it's reasonable to give it to the guy who looked the most impressive.

I'm guessing theres only going to be a handful of these kinda games. I bet you we get at least one more haha

Disagree, try assists, line breaks, he was excellent behind a bloody ordinary team - their middles were woeful & halves are barely first grade standard. Do I think he deserved the most Dally M points? No, I’d like to have seen Jackson Ford get the most, however he picked up none. No doubt the system is rooted & full of bias, however Ponga was bloody good.

 

[Cces]

While I probably wouldn't have dished Ponga any points, 2 well regarded analysts thought differently

good it’s getting a bit of airtime.

A few questions I have as I am not across the current system.

Are the judges at the ground?
Are the judges for each game known?

These are more in relation to the Warriors vs Knights game and are kind of linked. The comments in the article were around judges having links to Queensland. Did Aussie media fly across for the game. To be honest I doubt it.

If you watch a game on television you see a different perspective to at the ground. At the ground the two fullbacks for example you'd see the ground they cover and how they are organising the defence. Same thing with the guys in the other positions. You can see them plugging gaps in the defence or support runs. I know these are not the glamorous Dally M point scoring plays but they add up and are examples.

Years ago I am pretty sure we had Halligan commentating and also doing the Dally M points. He used to often give it to the opposition.

as far as i know, the judges are just two ex players who are to remain secret.
i’m sure it was on NRL360 or something.

Everyone talking about Egan's performance but not these clowns
