Thurston beats Johns for Dally M by 1 vote. Quite a surprise to me ... was watching it on Fox and was surprised that he was getting so many votes

Thurston wins Dally M!!! how awesome was that count, Johns polled votes in every game after origin, 6 or 7 of which he didnt deserve, most noteably 3 against St George on Sunday!
But sanity prevailed and someone who deserved it took it home...

apart from that most of the awards were a farce, Minchiello robbed of Rep player of the year by Johns, Watmough should have won back rower not Hindmarsh, Anasta somehow won 5/8 of the year and Webcke inexplicabily over looked for Front rower of the year!

At least didnt win the main award so ill sleep easier tonight...

You think Thurston deserved it ? I have watched him recently and not noticed him playing that well. Johns was robbbed IMO

Johns robbed?!?! lol he got so many points he didnt deserve its just ridiculous. I was gunning for anyone but Johns simply because he had no right to poll the votes he did. Thurston had a great year and definately deserved it, he played great on the weekend and deserved three points, he guided cowboys to an important win while Johns had a reasonable game in a beaten side and got three, do me a favour...

Well done to Thurston, was a big risk for him moving away from the Dogs, but he has been great for the Cowboys throughout the season.

Yeah Anasta… WTF? :s

Watmough would have won the second row gig had he not have had that knee injury…he’ll be back next year…

Very happy for the Tigers, Princey wins Captain of the Year, Hodgo FINALLY gets some recognition with Fullback of the Year and Sheensy was never in doubt for coach of the year...

On some of the other results, ANASTA 5/8 of the year... WHAT A JOKE!!, the guy gets boo'ed by his own fans...

As for the Dally M, well Johns was always going to poll well because Newcastle are a 1 man team, however congrats to Thurston, even though i would've preferred Princey seeing someone new win it is good....

yeah i thought Farah was a cert(and thats no tiger bias) but obviously they had to give it to the fav's...

same, was Lockyer even nominated for 5/8 of the year???

He deserved to be nominated but nothing more. Not his best season.

This is why these awards are a farce. I said the same thing a few months ago. I just don't like them. There is always controversy.

I'm glad Carl Webb got six weeks.

Fat, over-rated hot head is what he is and what he will always be.

Ivan Cleary taking over is even better, as is John Hart (of All Blacks fame) who is his assistant.

I still cant believe that Johns missed half the season with injury yet only missed the Dally M award by 1 vote.
