If you actually go by the points system (which I thought they did) this is the actual team of the year.
| Fullback | Jarryd Hayne |
| Wing | Manu Vatuvei |
| Centre | Dylan Walker |
| Five-Eight | Johnathan Thurston |
| Half | Ben Hunt |
| Prop | Matt Scott |
| Hooker | Cameron Smith |
| Second Row | Matt Gillett |
| Lock | Sam Burgess |

Its only an opinion really but I csnt think of any other reason why they pick the team the way they do.
The system is stupid. Every week an appointed judge gives Dally M points. They accumulate throughout the season. Any player can get points but obviously it's more likely to be the game breakers. At the end of the season the player with the most points wins. To then bring in a judging panel defies all logic. Either have the points system or don't.
Im going off how many points they got throughout the year.
I am not sure that Radradra deserved to get winger of the year over Mansour.
Radradra was good in a lot of games and great in a few and he obviously scored a couple of memorable tries, but Mansour was an absolute beast this year for Penrith and a big reason why they went as far as they did.
Radradra still needs to work on his positioning in defence and to a certain extent his hands.
