Was halfway through posting this when my browser crashed (i think it happens every time I try to post at the same time someone else is...android device only though)
Congrats to Cooper, didn't see him hanging on to be honest.....it's also criminal that we don't get to see the best players in this years gf - bring on next year, the boys have some unfinished business they need to take care of!

Just rename the hooker award the Cam Smith trophy! It's the 5th time he's won it.
Also, the 4th time Cooper's been halfback.
Was also happy to see Billy nominated for fullback, Bellamy for coach and Tohu Harris for rookie (particularly deserved).
Disappointed with the Sydney-centric nature of the try of the year award, thought Mahe's put back to Will vs Canberra at least deserved a nomination!
But most of all, congratulations to our BIG 3 DALLY M MEDALLISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a side note, not that it would surprise anyone here; storm were the only team to have 2 players in the top 10 (both in the top 5*) I think it makes winning the Dally M that much more impressive.
Am so happy he won. He is such a wonderful role model and example of an individual who not only has made the most of his talent but worked hard to overcome his shortcomings and worked hard to get the most out of himself. Had tears when he won, just nice to see someone get the rewards they deserve.
Not to mention Cameron Smith who is a credit to the game and richly deserved everything he got tonight. (Clealy that Captain of the year was making up for the horrible decision to overlook him last year, I mean Qld and Australia won last year as well as making a gf and he lost out to those Manly whingers, not that he doesn't deserve it this year but I could have understood if they gave it to Mini) The NRL are so god damn lucky that this guy is the captain of this country, not to mention Queensland and Storm.
On a side note, did I miss it or did they not show the 5/8 and halfback awards ?

I think the nrl have a lot to learn about presenting a professional awards night. Russel Crowe looked like he didn`t really know what to do and sometimes he acted like a rabbit caught in headlights..He showed no interest in the votes except when it had to do with the rabits. Please NRL ask the AFL for some advice on how an awards night is done.
Kya because the voting was so close they announced the half back and 5/8th awards when the players were heading up on stage after the Dally M was awarded.Kya wrote:Am so happy he won.

Cooper was half back and JT and Carney were joint 5/8ths.
Personally I thought that was probably the best Dally M night I've seen.
Tony Squires was so much better than Warren Smith. And although I don't think much of him, It was good to see a human being as CEO (Dave Smith) instead of that LimaDuckwit Gallop.
I thought Rusty was alright. I kinda like the slightly informal nature of the Dally M as opposed to the Brownlow MacAvaney award.
My only criticism is I wish they showed more footy highlights. I'd rather a full 3 or so hr count with highlights of every game of every round than the condensed count back of final 10 rounds only.
Pretty poor that a mere 2hr presentation contained probably 50mins of wags bullshit and a promotion of Grease and Timomatic.
I was surprised to see Smithy win so many awards. Not that he didn't deserve them, I just expected to see a more Sydney-centric approach.
I kinda thought Gallen might've got the Captain award for his efforts to keep the Sharks successful despite the ASADA investigation.
After Cam won that award I thought it may have been because they were going to award Isaac Luke the hooker award.
I was very happy to see Coops get up too, very deserving. After DCE began polling so well towards the back end, and the Cowboys great finish to the season, I thought he or JT would top him.
Is it fair to say the players know they're winning awards? I didn't see Billy in the audience, did he know his award was going to be given to GI?
