BARANGAROO: We have just wrapped up on the red carpet here for nine.com.au and spoke to some of the game\u2019s biggest stars.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Cameron Murray: I’m gonna have to say Nathan Cleary.<\/p>\n
Joseph Tapine: I’m going with Nathan Cleary. He’s so consistent every year, he deserves it.<\/p>\n
Casey McLean: Our captain Nat. It’s been so special to be part of what he’s done this season.<\/p>\n
Dylan Edwards: Fingers crossed, it should be Nathan.<\/p>\n
Tom Dearden: Nathan Cleary for sure.<\/p>\n
Blayke Brailey: It’s got to be Nathan Cleary, but I reckon Braydon Trindall could maybe be up there as well.<\/p>\n
Tom Trbojevic: It’s got to be Cleary, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n
Damien Cook: Yep, it’s Nathan Cleary for me.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Keaon Koloamatangi: Got to go with Cleary I think man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BARANGAROO: We have just wrapped up on the red carpet here for nine.com.au and spoke to some of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":910868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-910867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=910867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
