THE FORMAT
Ahead of the 2023 season the NRL made several changes to the Dally M voting process, with two independent judges handing out six points each on a 3-2-1 basis.
It could mean that a player who is five votes behind in the final round of the NRL regular season could somehow overtake the leader if they manage to pull in six votes.
Judges will also vote for their best player in each respective position throughout the season, deciding who is named.
However, if a player comes in the top three of the overall leaderboard, they automatically earn selection in their respective position.
Players who are suspended for two or more games also become ineligible to earn a Dally M nomination.
