Dally M Awards[]

The Dally M Awards are, as usual, conducted at the close of the regular season and hence do not take games played in the finals series into account. The Dally M Medal is for the official player of the year, while the Provan-Summons Medal was awarded to the New Zealand Warriors for the sacrifices the club made in relocating to Australia to keep the season alive due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3]
