As Jahrome Hughes delivers his speech, that’s it for us tonight!

We hope you’ve had some fun reading along and enjoyed the Dally M Awards.

Thanks again to our sponsor Gourmet Meat Co.

Enjoy your Grand Final Week.

Not the most successful night for Penrith, not that we thought there would be many winners. Isaah Yeo and Brian To’o did land in the Team of the Year though.

A tremendous honour for Jahrome Hughes, named the game’s best player in a cliffhanger finish.

Let’s hope this is where the honours stop though!

NRL DALLY M PLAYER OF THE YEAR

It’s Jahrome Hughes, as expected. The Storm fullback takes home rugby league’s greatest honour. James Tedesco finishes second, just one point behind.

A tight finish, but Hughes gets it!

After 24 rounds, Jahrome Hughes and James Tedesco are level on 51 points at the top of the Dally M leaderboard. It’s a race in two!

After Round 23, Isaah Yeo stays in the top 10 with 28 points. Dylan Edwards is on 34 but outside of the leadership group.

James Tedesco is second with 45 points.

Jahrome Hughes takes the lead and has 47 points with four games to go.

It’s not a most improved award mate.

How interesting that the Coach of the Year went to Bellamy this year (and deservedly so) but not to Ivan Cleary last year despite winning the Minor Premiership and guiding Penrith to a fourth Grand Final.

Anyway, well done Craig.

Ivan Cleary (who isn’t at the Dally M Awards tonight) misses out on Coach of the Year.

It goes to his Grand Final opponent on Sunday, Craig Bellamy.
