Tamika Upton will be looking to claim back-to-back Dally M Medal honours while she attempts to fire the Newcastle Knights to their third successive premiership this season.
The fullback was in brilliant touch last year as she was awarded the highest individual accolade in the game.
Raecene McGregor picked up the award in 2022, while Emma Tonegato and Millie Elliott were joint winners in the previous season.
