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.
Halfback
Luke Brooks
This was the most thought I had to put into any positional award. Brooks wasn't a massive stand out but he was brilliant in the majority of the Tigers wins.
Cooper Cronk, Adam Reynolds and even Chad Townsend will poll well, but I can't remember then putting together too many man of the match efforts in a row.
Brooks had a career best year and although he fell away late, I think there might just have been enough points picked up, even in losses, to get the Tigers number seven home.
I named Reynolds in my team of the year and believe he was the most consistent half, but Brooks good games were better than Reynolds good games.
