Dally M Awards 2024 LIVE: All the latest updates and red carpet news from the NRL’s night of nights

The Knights gun is the reigning Dally M medallist. He and peak went public in June last year; she’s a soccer star who plays for Sydney Olympic FC.

The Sharks star – who was second in the Dally M voting as of round 12 – only just made his romance with the 23-year-old advertising specialist public after she was spotted at Cronulla games with his mum Julie.

He has had an up and down year that was interrupted by a long stint on the sidelines due to a serious injury, meaning he probably won’t be challenging for the award after winning it in 2022.

Many good judges are tipping Melbourne’s Jahrome Hughes to take the Dally M tonight after a stellar run of form that saw him become one of the driving forces in their run to yet another grand final appearance.

Roosters gun James Tedesco is joined by wife Maria. He was right in the thick of it for the Dally M when the votes went behind closed doors after round 12 and is a big chance of winning the coveted gong tonight.

It’s been a big year for the Souths star and his fiance, who welcomed their daughter Avalon into the world in February, just before the start of the season.

The Gold Coast Titans winger is one of the top contenders to take out the biggest individual honour in the women’s game tonight, but she has modestly tipped her teammate Lauren Brown or reigning Dally M medal winner Tamika Upton of the nights to come out on top.

At last year’s Dally Ms he was compared to The Rock for wearing a lavish Versace dress shirt that cost a staggering $2500 – and he might’ve topped that tonight.

The shirt is impressive enough this time around, but the Dragons prop (pictured with wife Ana) is also turning heads in the footwear department. Have a go at those shoes!

The ex-Dragon – who’s on his way to Parramatta for 2025 – brought his mum Cheree tonight. All together now: awwwwwww!

The Roosters prop cut a dramatically different figure to many of the other stars and WAGs tonight with this dress featuring a long black train.

She’ll be trying to add to the 2022 premiership she won with the Knights when she takes the field in Homebush on Sunday.

The Storm legend and his TV star wife have had plenty of practice for the red carpet. He took out the Dally M Medal in 2013 and 2016.

The Canberra Raiders star has been nominated for the second-rower of the year award. His partner, Kelsea Peck, posted a charming shot of her man getting ready with teammates Joe Tapine and Elliott Whitehead, who was wearing nothing but a dressing gown at the time. Will he be brave enough to stay that way when he hits the red carpet? We’ll soon find out.

The Channel Nine star is all class in a figure-hugging blue number tonight – but there’s no sign of her boyfriend, Bulldogs forward Liam Knight, at the moment.

Roosters prop Lindsay Collins’ season ended on a sour note when he was concussed in the first tackle of the team’s preliminary final loss to the Storm, but he and wife Kaylah looked great as they arrived for the ceremony at Sydney’s Randwick Racecourse tonight.

Luke Lewis clocked up an incredible 324 games for the Panthers and Sharks, winning the 2003 and 2016 premierships – and as you can see from his entrance with wife Sonia, he looks like he could run out again at Accor Stadium on Sunday.

There’s a bit of a theme emerging on the red carpet: Daring outfits that show off a lot of skin.

Kelly – who’ll skipper the Roosters in Sunday’s NRLW grand final – has given her rival captain Tiana Penitani of the Sharks a run for her money in the fashion stakes tonight.

We were wrong – it’s not a tribute to the Wests Tigers, it’s a sly dig at his old coach at the Melbourne Storm, Craig ‘Bellyache’ Bellamy.

From wardrobe malfunctions to serial flashers and outfits that just fell flat, here’s a look at some of the most eye-catching red carpet moments from previous Dally M ceremonies…

Now with the Wests Tigers, the talented forward took out the highest honour in the women’s game in 2016.

Sharks NRLW star Tiana Penitani is in line for two awards tonight: centre of the year and captain of the year. But will she make our best-dressed list?

The Cronulla skipper is one of the faces of the women’s game and will be leading her side out for the grand final against the Roosters at 3.55pm on Sunday.

The Today show’s Taylor Haynes was among the first to arrive in an all-white outfit with a daring split up the side.

Phil Gould has not minced his words as he hit out at a Dally Ms snub that he called ‘a tragedy for our game’.

Wests Tigers’ boom rookie Lachlan Galvin is not eligible to the rookie of the year award tonight due to what Gus sees as a stupid, outdated rule.

Thanks for joining us for Daily Mail Australia’s coverage of the 2024 Dally M Medal ceremony.

Stick with us for the next few hours as we bring you all the best and worst dressed WAGs from the red carpet, updates on the vote count and all the awards on rugby league’s most glamorous night.

And to get us started, the first star to front the cameras this evening is Matty Johns’ son Cooper, the former Manly and Storm player who is now better known for his work on the Kyle & Jackie O show.

He’s gone with a striking black and white, double-breasted jacket that might have been inspired by the old Western Suburbs Magpies strip.
