Rugby league's night of nights will take place on Wednesday, with the annual Dally M Medal ceremony set to continue grand final week proceedings across the NRL.
After 27 rounds of hard-hitting action and three weeks of dramatic finals, the biggest names in the sport will head to Royal Randwick to learn the winner of the competition's highest honour.
Shaun Johnson is the hot favourite to take out this year's Dally M Medal, with the veteran halfback leading the Warriors to an unlikely top-four berth, while the late-season heroics of Kalyn Ponga could place him in contention.
Unfortunately, the likes of Reece Walsh and Scott Drinkwater will be ineligible for the award due to suspensions, despite having strong campaigns and earning plenty of votes for their respective sides.
