2024 Dally M Awards: The green carpet with a difference

The NRL and NRLW’s biggest stars are walking the red, um green, carpet for the 2024 Dally M Awards. Check out their looks.

It is what you’d call a red carpet with a difference - the 2024 Dally M Awards organisers opted for a green rug for stars of rugby league to make their grand entrance.

The cream of the NRL and NRLW crop are being honoured at the glamour event at the Winx Stand at Sydney’s Royal Randwick Racecourse.

The event will be broadcast on Fox Sports with the Dally M medal going to the best male and female players in the game for the season.

Awards will also be given to the premier player in each position, as well as coach, captain, representative player and most outstanding rookie.

Some of the NRL Dally M favourites include Melbourne Storm halfback Jahrome Hughes, Penrith lock Isaah Yeo, Roosters Captain James Tedesco and Canterbury skipper Stephen Crichton.

Penrith Panthers and Melbourne Storm will vie for the premiership in the NRL game on Sunday.

Gold Coast Titans star Jaime Chapman is a top contender for the NRLW Dally M, as are the likes of Newcastle Knights player Tamika Upton and Lauren Brown, also of the Titans.

“It would mean so much to me and obviously be really special but I think the Dally M will go to someone else more deserving,” the NSW Origin player from Sutherland told Confidential earlier in the week.

“I honestly don’t know how I would react (if I won), it would be the pinnacle of my football career so far. I don’t think that I am up there this year but hopefully in the very near future, I would love to have that opportunity to be a contender for the Dally M.”

Sharks superstar Emma Tonegato was looking forward to celebrating the season ahead of Sunday’s NRLW grand final against the Sydney Roosters.
