Melbourne Storm’s Cooper Cronk took out the 2013 Dally M Award this year—beating out Cronulla Sharks’ Todd Carney, Manly Sea Eagles’ Daly Cherry-Evans and North Queensland Cowboys’ Johnathan Thurston in a thrilling finish.
Cronk led all players when the polling went behind close doors in Round 16, but it took until the final round for him to pull clear of Carney in the voting.
The representative halfback picked up 12 points over the final 10 rounds (which was lower than what many players polled over that time) but that was enough to see him pick up his first Dally M medal, having finished third in the past two seasons.
All of the Storm’s ‘Big Three’ have now won the Dally M award.
Read on for a full breakdown of the final Dally M standings, the selections for Team of the Year and other awards on the night.
