Dally M awards 2022

General Rugby League

Bit late starting the thread, but who do people think will pick up the Dally M & positional awards?

I think Ben Hunt will just hold on for the medal, due to the way voting favours the best player in mediocre teams & he was leading when voting went behind closed doors.

I don’t know how Edwards didn’t get fullback of the year when he finished above Tedesco

Tedesco finished 10 points ahead of Edwards. Another example of how the Dally M is skewed in favour of the best player in a mediocre team.

I always preferred the old RLW system, where each player was given a score out of 10. Gave a much better indication of who the best players were, and didn’t disadvantage players from strong teams.

Good Point, Mutley. Most games we play it’s hard to find a bad performer. That’s why Penrith is more a champion team rather than a team of champions, as the saying goes. That must surely mean that the points each game are spread around. As you point out, it’s easier to score under the current system if you’re a standout in a mediocre team.

I’d like to see a full points rundown to see how many of our blokes did well, plus their totalled score.

Sorry to be a wet blanket but Daly M, who cares?

This year more than most just shows how flawed the whole Dally M system really is.
