Live updates
9:47pm
Well, that just about does it tonight. James Tedesco and Tamika Upton both become two-time winners of the Dally M Medals.
The full summary of awards is above.
We will be back live on Sunday evening to take you through the grand final between the Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Broncos.
Bye for now.
9:45pm
And there you go. Tedesco wins by a ridiculous 22 votes.
James Tedesco - 67 votes
Nathan Cleary - 45 votes
Isaiya Katoa - 44 votes
Tom Dearden - 44 votes
Blayke Brailey - 42 votes
9:43pm:
"I've had a lot of doubters and critics in my career so this is pretty special," Tedesco says.
"It's up there for sure [this season]. I really enjoyed this season. The players we had, the players that came up and played a lot of game time for us. They were eager to learn, eager to compete and I enjoyed being the leader of that team.
"It helps not playing Origin [to score more points in the Dally M count]. This year was just me doing my thing."
9:42pm: NRL Dally M
Tedesco leads by 16 votes with four rounds to play. Tedesco claims one point, Tom Dearden claims four to jump into second. Only four players left - Tedesco, Dearden, Isaiya Katoa and Nathan Cleary. Given Dearden and Katoa are not in the team of the year, and Cleary is rested in Round 26, it's mathematically over.
Tedesco wins the Dally M Medal in an absolute canter. Who knows what the final number was.
9:40pm
And now to conclude the men's count which is just about over.
9:35pm
Upton is the first female player to win the Dally M award twice.
"Obviously, Julia Robinson has been incredible this year. We have seen what she has done not playing in her preferred position. I just said to her that she deserved it as well," Upton says on stage.
9:34pm: NRLW Dally M
Round 9 brings with it three votes for Isabelle Kelly, six votes for Tamika Upton and two for Julia Robinson. Six left in contention, with Robinson leading Upton by 2, Isabelle Kelly another one back.
Round 10. Isabelle Kelly misses with injury, Jesse Southwell polls six votes to move to within three of the lead. Julia Robinson was rested, Tamika Upton polls five votes and claims a three point buffer.
In the final round, Isabelle Kelly claims three votes, shutting the gap to three. Southwell polls five points, but is still one behind Upton. Robinson had a barnstorming final game of the year, while Upton was also outstanding scoring a hat-trick. Robinson scores three points, Upton scores three, and so Upton will win the award three votes ahead of Robinson.
9:32pm
Back to the NRLW count
9:29pm
And now for the men's team of the year. It can also be found above.
9:26pm
Time to unveil the NRLW team of the year. It can be found above in the awards summary.
9:25pm: NRL Dally M leaderboard after Round 23
James Tedesco - 56 votes
Luke Metcalf - 40 votes
Isaiya Katoa - 39 votes
Nathan Cleary - 39 votes
Tom Dearden - 38 votes
9:23pm: NRL Round 19, 20, 21, 22, 23
In Round 19, Eliesa Katoa moves into the top ten with four points, Tom Dearden polls two, and James Tedesco gets a perfect six to extend the lead to 11 points over Isaiya Katoa.
In Round 20, Blayke Brailey polls six and Jahrome Hughes two to move into the top ten. Terrell May grabs five and Isaiya Katoa one, but the gap is still ten.
Connor Tracey and Nathan Cleary poll in Round 21 to move into the top ten. There is some minor shuffling down the order, and a perfect six from Dearden means the gap is 12, with Tedesco claiming six.
In Round 22, Munster and May poll, as does Nathan Cleary who closes to within 15 of the lead. Blayke Brailey scores six to move to within 13, while Katoa grabs one and is 11 behind. Tedesco doesn't poll.
Round 23 sees Clint Gutherson move into the top ten, Payne Haas score four points and Nathan Cleary claim another four. He is 11 behind alongside Katoa. Metcalf still second ten behind at this stage.
In Round 24, Tedesco gains a maximum six points and leads by a staggering 17 points with four rounds to play.
This is all but over.
9:18pm
Back to the count...
9:14pm: NRL captain of the year
Stephen Crichton and Nathan Cleary overlooked for the skipper award in the men's competition. Dally M favourite James Tedesco claims the gong.
9:10pm: NRLW captain of the year
Isabelle Kelly of the Roosters follows her coach and claims captain of the year ahead of Ali Brigginshaw and Yasmin Clydsdale.
9:05pm: NRLW coach of the year
The Sydney Roosters go undefeated through the NRLW campaign, and John Strange is rewarded with the coach of the year award.
8:58pm: NRL coach of the year
No surprise here. Ricky Stuart takes out the gong ahead of Michael Maguire and Cameron Ciraldo. The Raiders were tipped widely to be at the bottom of the table, so to take out the minor premiership was a sensational season.
8:54pm
A tribute now to those who have passed this year.
8:47pm: Ken Stephen Medal
Kieran Foran, playing in his final NRL season, takes out the Ken Stephen Medal for his work.
8:41pm: Veronica White Medal
Rhiannon Byers of the Cronulla Sharks wins the first of the two community awards.
8:37pm: NRL Rookie of the year
And now for the male rookie of the year - this should be a pretty straightforward one for Leka Halasima. But no, it's not. Robert Toia announced the rookie of the year. Was a special first half of the year with an Origin debut.
8:31pm: NRLW Rookie of the year
Time for the NRLW rookie of the year award. Shalom Sauaso of the Brisbane Broncos takes it out. A fantastic first season.

8:24pm: NRL Round 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18
Connor Tracey, Daly Cherry-Evans and Cameron Munster move into the top ten with some decent scores through this block of rounds.
Payne Haas also claims five votes in Round 16 to move up the leaderboard.
Tom Dearden scores 11 votes across these rounds to move into the top three, while Isaiya Katoa polls strongly as well. Luke Metcalf had 40 votes at the end of these rounds to sit second.
James Tedesco polls in every game during this period to take the lead.
8:20pm: NRL count after 12 rounds

8:18pm: NRLW Round 8 leaderboard

Isabelle Kelly - 23 votes
Jakiya Whitfeld - 22 votes
Tamika Upton - 21 votes
Emma Verran - 20 votes
8:17pm: NRLW Rounds 6, 7 and 8
So then, Isabelle Kelly failed to score in Round 6, meaning Julia Robinson and Jakiya Whitfield close the gap.
In Round 7, Whitfield polls three votes, and Tamika Upton 6, but Julia Robinson claims 4 votes to take the lead by two votes.
In Round 8, Emma Verran polls for the third consecutive round to move up into the top five. Upton, Whitfield and Robinson all poll. Kelly again misses out, so Robinson leads by four votes.
