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.

Centre

Latrell Mitchell

An absolute lock in my mind. No one was more dominant out wide this season than Mitchell. Yes, he did have games where you had to re-watch to see if he actually played, but there were six or seven games I can remember where he'll pick up at least two points.

Euan Aitken started well and Greg Inglis has been great all season but there has been no stand out centre apart from the Roosters megastar.

He scored tries, he made match-saving tackles, he broke defences apart and busted tackles with ease. All very memorable.

If there's one position without doubt, it's this one. Mitchell by a mile for mine.
