Dally M Medal Winners: Cleary, Upton Crowned as Webster Wins Coach of Year in Holbrook Shock
- Penrith Panthers captain Nathan Cleary claimed his maiden NRL Dally M Medal on Wednesday, accepting the award from home while recovering from emergency ankle surgery sustained in Penrith's preliminary-final loss.
- Earlier this year, Cleary claimed his maiden Wally Lewis Medal leading NSW to a 2-1 State of Origin series victory, then played 23 games this season setting up 29 tries as Penrith's chief architect to the preliminary final.
- Cleary polled 67 votes to finish 14 points ahead of Cronulla halfback Braydon Trindall and teammate Dylan Edwards' 52 votes, easing to victory with two voting rounds still to be counted at Sydney's Barangaroo.
- Warriors mentor Andrew Webster won NRL Coach of the Year narrowly ahead of Justin Holbrook, while in the NRLW, Tamika Upton defended her crown to claim her third Dally M Medal as player of the year.
- Newcastle's grand final run went unrecognized in the Dally M team of the year with no Knights representatives, while South Sydney's Jai Arrow received the Peter Frilingos Headline Moment award for his battle with motor neurone disease.
