The Dally M voting in the NRL has left fans puzzled once again, with Nathan Cleary and Selwyn Cobbo receiving points in their team's losses.
Cleary, despite a strong performance with two try assists and 12 points through goal-kicking, raised eyebrows when he received a point in the Panthers' loss to the Roosters.
Roosters players like Sandon Smith, Daniel Tupou, and Connor Watson all had standout performances, with Tupou even making a try-saving tackle in the final minutes to secure the win.
Cleary's point in the loss over these Roosters players was contentious among fans.
Similarly, Cobbo's two points in the Broncos' defeat to the Raiders was seen as a questionable decision.
Despite finishing with one try and no linebreaks, Cobbo received points from one judge, leaving fans scratching their heads over the voting process.
These decisions have added to the debate on the performance of players like Latrell Mitchell, with Jye Gray's standout performance only complicating matters.
Gray's impressive play has sparked discussions on whether Mitchell should continue to play fullback.
The unexpected results in the Dally M voting have created controversy and confusion among NRL fans, leaving many wondering about the criteria and judgement that goes into determining the points awarded to players.
