Storm players walked away from rugby league’s night of nights with a total of six Dally M awards.
Cooper Cronk was named the Dally M Play of the Year for a second time, tying with Cowboys prop Jason Taumalolo for the top honour.
The Storm No.7 was also crowned Dally M Halfback of the Year and Cameron Smith the Dally M Hooker of the Year, both players earning the respective honours for a fifth time in their careers.
During a season in which he broke Darryn Lockyer’s record for most State of Origin games played, it was no surprise Smith was also named Representative Player of the Year.
After several seasons of consistent brilliance, Jesse Bromwich was awarded Prop of the Year for the first time while rookie sensation Suliasi Vunivalu added another chapter to a remarkable debut season when he was recognised for as the NRL’s Top Try Scorer.
