On Cam Smith... should a player, by virtue of being Australia/QLD Captain, automatically win the individual club Captain Dally M award?
I think Paul Gallen should have won it last night.

It's a bit of a ridiculous award to begin with tbh.

It's a combined journalist vote for that award

Braith wasn't the captain of any rep teams when he won

If Mini didnt win it why didn't Lyon???

Won the centre award and has led his team to another GF.

I thought Smiff getting the award was bizarro, and so did the man himself.

Personally I thought the Dally M awards last night was an embarrassment for the NRL.

Tony Squires was absolutely pathetic as a host. He seemed nervous, unsure what to say at times and star struck. He hasn’t improved since he hosted the Olympics and that was bad enough.

Russell Crowe tried to be funny and make the whole thing about himself with his poor excuse at humour (think the 320 votes comment).

David Smith makes a speech and at times paused; waiting for applause but none was forthcoming.

Paul Whittaker gets on stage; blows sunshine up Crowe’s backside and in the same breath kicks Andrew Demetriou in the head for some reason. Couldn’t figure that one out.

The Peter Frilingos Memorial Award for Headline Moment of the Year goes to the squirrel gripping, sign post wrecking, windscreen smashing wankers. Why?

Rob Mills as John Travolta and some scrubber trying to be Olivia Newton John? I got more entertainment from watching re runs of an ‘Old Spice’ ad stsae posted here a couple of weeks ago.

The awards themselves were hard to follow, there was no fluency and what interviews there were with the winners were a waste of time. And as they ran out of time they couldn’t even present the awards for 5/8th and half back of the year. I think the NRL could take a leaf out of the AFL’s book re: All Australian Awards and the Brownlow Medal.

On the positive side, congratulations to Robbo, Cortaner (as that idiot on stage pronounced it), RTS and Maloney.

And finally, at least Smith was humble in winning the Captain’s speech acknowledging Mini should have won it.

I feel better now.

Me too mate.

I'm on a horse.

I wish I thought of that.

The look on Smith's face said the same thing.

Outdated, irrelevant & an embarrassment (on last nights effort).

Like SOO if it is to continue make it after the Big Dance.

Focus focus focus.


It's ours.
Forget the distractions & waffle.

A coaches nightmare having to deal with this shit.

I hope you use that term lightly when describing some of the people who are on that panel.

It's the last hold NewsFilth have over RL.

But I suspect it won't last.

I get the feeling once that contract is up, or maybe before, we will see the whole format revamped.

RLW always did their award better. Each week an actual journo who actually attended a game ranked each player 1-10. Drop the 5 worst scores covering injuries and poor form.

Props and back rowers actually won their award some seasons.

The funny thing is NewsFilth whinged about Reffs only giving The Rothmans Medal to 1/2s or 5/8s and decided to let their employees judge their shiny new award. But all we get is 1/2s or 5/8s or FBs or hookers win now.

Like everything NewsFilth touch, it turns to shit.

And we all know what happens to shit, hey Teabags, bye bye.
