Same as when thurston won it in 2015.

Clive Churchill often goes to big name rather than best on field.

In 2001 Andrew Johns got it over Ben Kennedy

I remember in 2015 thinking Granville was robbed.

Just looking back at past winners, Priddis in 2003 was a standout winner. He was immense that day. As someone on the Panthers bandwagon hope Api can do something similar this weekend

I personally hope a big forward gets it like a Tamou or a Big Nels and if not a big forward then someone like Munny or Luai

Seems as though its a bit of a subdued event this year due to Sunday night game but no public holiday on Monday.. maybe just my friends though.

Weve got three weeks of origin straight after too.

I’m having a grand final day bbq and party and decking the house out in Purple. I got the Monday off a couple weeks ago cause I told the boss I would be too dusty after celebrating a GF win. Most of my mates work casual so should be a good one!

I brought a Melbourne Storm Beer Pong Table from The Stubby Club about 3 months ago and still waiting for it. It was in Melbourne a week ago so hope it is here before the weekend....

I don't bet,  Yeo dog looks a good price as Churchill medalist

That would be my pick, He's so humble & tries his heart out he's a friggin machine.

To be honest I've put zero thought into how I'll be watching it,

Probably end up at home by myself. Shame its not even a 6pm twilight kickoff, as Milch Calf has started to get into NRL this year and would probably watch it with me. As it is he might just watch the first half and go to bed.

Apparently Daly M winner has been leaked (by DT)... Wighton wins on 26, Gutho 25 and Cleary 24.

I can't believe Wighton wins it over Cleary. What a fkn pisstake the nrl is

Don't feel particularly motivated by origin this year.

Same with 2014 - gave it Sam Burgess, but George was immense that day.

just saw the Staggs individual effort won try of the year. how did that Warriors team try against Parra not win?

It was a fan vote on nrl website so Broncos fans would have been desperate to win something this year

I'm not watching Fox but seeing snippets on Reddit and it looks like coverage is the biggest shitshow ever

Fox League coverage has nosedived badly this year (especially with trying to basically bait players into getting response for papers - SJ & Latrell come to mind)

https://www.reddit.com/r/nrl/comments/jdyd8k/2020_dally_m_awards_virtual_interview/

Guth was robbed,definitely should’ve got at least a point in that last game

Well that was a complete stitch up by buzz rothfield. Not complaining though. Just won a few dollars from some friends predicting wighton and the scores of the top 5 (don’t worry I’m not going to take their money). Cleary was the best player in the nrl this year and if the award was awarded by a bunch of rugby league people sitting around a table it would have been given to Cleary but there is two many good players in that panthers line up that he couldn’t dominate dally m points like we thought he would.

Oh well. I’ve messed up with not giving anyone captain the last two weeks in finals fantasy. I will tune in for Origin fantasy if there is one but otherwise I’ll see everyone next year.

Thank you everyone for your amazing contributions, the fantasy talent of the people on here is immense and the conversations on here are amazing. Special mention to everyone who put in work behind the scenes running comps like survivor and mtvb especially, without footystatistics.com I would have been completely lost this year. Best wishes to everyone over the offseason and I can’t wait to return to the panic trading, centre mayhem and the reloading nrl.com fifty times on a Tuesday just to see that that slight ankle problem was a bit more serious or seeing our gun rookie dropped entirely

Wighton was rested for Rd 20 too, turns out Dally M contenders (and winners) can get rested down the home stretch.

Cleary probably even more motivated now, as if winning the grand final and raining on Cam's parade wasn't enough.

Probably will be asleep by half time.

Granville was definitely the best player for the Cowboys in 2015. Cowboys dropped off considerably when he was off the field and instantly looked on top again when he came back on.

But Milf may have been better. I also remember Jack Reed having a great game
