Not even Preston got a mention in the Rookie of year category and it's shows how bad we fell away after those couple of early wins when Kiraz went from leading the Dally M at one stage to not even making the final cut for winger of the year category.

Preston was easily rookie of year, very strange.

Kiraz does not deserve to be near any award, fell away massively

How did Ponga win it over Johnson. Ponga wasn't even the best fullback this year.
He carried the Knights and a team of nobody's and got all the points. Just like Thurston and John's used to do and win multiple Dally Ms. Don't think Lockyer ever got it coz Brisbane have always been stacked.

Wasnt even a rep FB... Looked a bit rigged didnt it... What else do u expect from the NRL? As soon as i heard there was a new 6 point system i knew it was made for the last 10 rounds where Ponga actually started playing.

It should be like every other sport where at the end of the year they vote who’s been the best player

Firstly Pinga.. LMAO.

So dumb to rob someone of such a prestigious award and probably one SJ will never get a chance at again. They literally played each other a couple of weeks ago in a final and SJ showed the kid up..

Dead set wrapped they're growing the game in NZ then flush all the hard work down the toilet... Muppets.

LOL ... 100% rigged alright and very embarrassing if this happens to be true.

Sean Johnson & Kalyn Ponga both didn't play in the final round, yet Ponga somehow is awarded 6 pts to overtake SJ and Win Player of The Year.

NRL Dally M player of the year: Kalyn Ponga!
By Simon Smale
The voting came down to the final round, with Shaun Johnson taking a five-point lead over Kalyn Ponga.
Only for Ponga to win six points in the final round!

Ponga carried a heap of Nevilles deep into the finals. Played unreal. Takes nothing away from Johnson. Halfback of the year award over likes of Reynolds, Cleary and DCE is a strong reward and recognition for effort. Was probably cheering for SJ myself, but to say ‘robbed’ or ‘rigged’ because Ponga won it is a bit harsh.

6 point system is fucked... draw isn't balanced. Dumb ***** who run these things have no idea, they just made it more unfair imo.

Ponga would have been QLD fullback if fit
