Dally M Medal Dally M Medal was awarded by the "Daily Mirror" newspaper. After each game, rugby league sports commentators vote to award three votes to the best player, two votes to the second-best player, and one vote to the third-best player. Additionally, a player will lose three votes for each week of suspension that he incurs during the season. The votes for each round are made public up to Round 16 (26-round season), then are kept secret; this allows the final winner to be kept secret until the Dally M Awards ceremony. The Rothmans Medal was the first official player-of-the-year award to
2015 NBPA Players Awards and submitted to the American Arbitration Association for tabulation before the end of the regular season. In subsequent press releases, "top vote getters" were listed alphabetically. In addition to the awards voted upon, three additional honorees were announced during the awards broadcast. 2015 NBPA Players Awards The 2015 NBPA Players Awards was the inaugural presentation of the NBPA Players Awards.
