It will fly under the radar for a lot of fans but the Dally M awards will be presented this Wednesday night.

Earlier in the month I named the team (13) I would name at the team of the season. It was the team I judged the best across the NRL season prior to the finals.

The below are the players I expect to win based on Dally M votes.

The Dally M team of the year is judged on points. That isn't always a fair reflection but it is the process.

Although a player can poll well in horrible games while a far more consistent player doesn't poll in a game where there are four stand outs, this is based purely on how I think Wednesday's awards will go.

Five-Eighth

Cameron Munster

This one will be very tough to decide. James Maloney polled very, VERY well in the opening rounds but trailed off toward the middle of the season and missed games late.

Munster has Billy Slater, Addo-Carr and Cameron Smith taking points off him but a quick run through the games has Munster beating Cody Walker and Maloney late on.

Gareth Widdop lead early on but missed too many games to feature. Moylan had three/four man of the match performances but not much else otherwise. Blake Green could feature, but again, missed too many games.

Munster to be the second Storm player named in the team of the season.
