In a thrilling turn of events, Jahrome Hughes, the Melbourne Storm's halfback maestro, has clinched the coveted 2024 Dally M Medal just days before the NRL Grand Final.
The high-stakes competition saw Hughes narrowly edge out the Roosters' James Tedesco by a single point, making for a tension-filled showdown.
As the night unfolded, Hughes faced a nail-biting moment when he was hit with a six-point deduction from an earlier incident in the season.
The margin between him and Tedesco grew slimmer, but ultimately, Hughes had the slight advantage in the final tally, securing his place as the Dally M Medal winner.
With this prestigious accolade under his belt, Hughes now sets his sights on leading the Storm to victory against the Parramatta Eels in the upcoming Grand Final.
The pressure is on, but Hughes is no stranger to delivering under the spotlight and is poised to steer his team towards glory on the field.
