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.<\/p>\n<p>It could mean that a player who is five votes behind in the final round of the NRL regular season could overtake the leader if they manage to pull in six votes.<\/p>\n<p>So, players can receive a maximum of six votes a game or poll anywhere between zero and five votes for one game. <\/p>\n<p>MEN\u2019S DALLY M LEADERBOARD AFTER ROUND 12<\/p>\n<p>Luke Metcalf (Warriors) \u2013 31<\/p>\n<p>Will Kennedy (Sharks) \u2013
