Dally M Team of the Year

Arguably the most improved player in the NRL, Leilua was at times unstoppable and formed a lethal combination with Jordan Rapana.

Lock of the Year: Jason Taumalolo (North Queensland Cowboys)

Matt Gillett has established himself as one of the best forwards in the game and had another outstanding season for Brisbane.
Prop of the Year: Jesse Bromwich (Melbourne Storm)
