Named after the man credited with giving the fledgling game of Rugby League a credible draw card, the Dally M Medal is an award for brilliance, consistency and durability. Points are handed out in every game of a premiership season on a 3-2-1 basis. The points are awarded by News Ltd journalists.

Notes *In 2003 the Rugby League Players Association boycotted the Dally M Awards in protest against the time it was taking to get a Collective Bargaining Agreement in place. Because of this the 2003 Dally M Medal was not awarded. It is however believed that Craig Gower would have taken out the 2003 award. *The 1997 Dally M Awards did not take place due to Super League and the two separate competitions being run.
A useful piece of information right there.
Thanks! I like to think every page on this web site is a useful piece of information. Then I remember I made a Loony Tunes fantasy team and realize that isn’t the case. 😀
