UPDATE: In a stunning display of talent at the NRL Dally M Awards last night, the Sharks took home three prestigious awards, solidifying their dominance in the league. Blayke Brailey was named the Dally M Hooker of the Year, while his front-row partner Addin Fonua-Blake secured the title of Prop of the Year. Additionally, in the NRLW category, Ellie Johnston also won the Dally M Prop of the Year award.
This achievement is particularly significant for Brailey, who capped off the season as the Sharks’ acting captain and finished fifth on the Dally M Men’s Leaderboard. His remarkable performance this season has led commentators to speculate that he may earn a spot on the Kangaroos team, which will be announced next week.
The gala event, held on October 19, 2025, also recognized James Tedesco of the Sydney Roosters and Tamika Upton from the Brisbane Broncos as the overall winners of the coveted Dally M Medal for 2025. The night celebrated the extraordinary accomplishments of players across the league, showcasing the talent and dedication present in both the men’s and women’s games.
With the Sharks’ stellar awards haul, fans are buzzing about the implications for the upcoming season. The recognition of their key players not only highlights individual excellence but also boosts the team’s morale heading into future competitions.
As the news unfolds, keep an eye on the announcements regarding the Kangaroos team selection, as it may include even more Sharks players due to their impressive performances this season.
