It will fly under the radar for a lot of fans but the Dally M awards will be presented this Wednesday night.
Earlier in the month I named the team (13) I would name at the team of the season. It was the team I judged the best across the NRL season prior to the finals.
The below are the players I expect to win based on Dally M votes.
The Dally M team of the year is judged on points. That isn't always a fair reflection but it is the process.
Although a player can poll well in horrible games while a far more consistent player doesn't poll in a game where there are four stand outs, this is based purely on how I think Wednesday's awards will go.

Running a quick look over results and performances since the Dally M counting went behind close doors, the Warriors' number one will be the man to be named the best in 2018.
If Holmes wins the fullback of the year award, he wins the Dally M. Same if Ponga polls enough points early on to hold on.
I think RTS pips Damien Cook by three/four points, and Holmes by a similar margin.
They're the top three. In which order is anyone's guess but for mine RTS is the man.
