BARANGAROO: We have just wrapped up on the red carpet here for nine.com.au and spoke to some of the game’s biggest stars.
The players involved in this weekend’s grand final from the Roosters and Knights are perhaps a little bit more tense than those who are already done and dusted for the season and are here for a few beers and to let their hair down.
There’s a recurring theme across the board when it comes to tonight’s Dally M Medal winner, with every single player we spoke to picking Nathan Cleary to take out the top gong.
Cameron Murray: I’m gonna have to say Nathan Cleary.
Joseph Tapine: I’m going with Nathan Cleary. He’s so consistent every year, he deserves it.
Casey McLean: Our captain Nat. It’s been so special to be part of what he’s done this season.
Dylan Edwards: Fingers crossed, it should be Nathan.
Tom Dearden: Nathan Cleary for sure.
Blayke Brailey: It’s got to be Nathan Cleary, but I reckon Braydon Trindall could maybe be up there as well.
Tom Trbojevic: It’s got to be Cleary, doesn’t it?
Damien Cook: Yep, it’s Nathan Cleary for me.
Mark Nawaqanitawase: I’m going with Nathan Cleary, he’s had a wonderful year. It was very sad to see him go out like that on the weekend, but I’m sure he’ll come away with the medal tonight.
Keaon Koloamatangi: Got to go with Cleary I think man.
