The National Rugby League (NRL) has announced the nominees for the 2023 Dally M Team of the Year and individual Dally M awards for the NRL Telstra Premiership.
This year's awards will be presented on September 27 in Sydney.
The Dally M Awards recognize the outstanding performers in both the NRL Telstra Premiership and NRL Telstra Women's Premiership.
Changes were made to the voting process for the 2023 season.
Two independent judges now give out votes on a 3,2,1 basis for every game, allowing players to earn a maximum of six votes per game.
This increases the final total of points for players and enhances fairness by removing potential variances that arise from a single judge voting on a game.
Players suspended for two regular season games become ineligible for any Dally M award, while a one-game suspension results in a deduction of six points.
However, players who are ineligible due to suspension can still earn points in subsequent games to maintain the integrity of the voting process throughout the regular season.
