Roger Tuivasa-Sheck became the first Warriors player to clinch the Dally M Medal – and it was fitting the win was celebrated with an impromptu haka by some of his New Zealand mates. The baby-faced skipper leap-frogged Newcastle sensation Kalyn Ponga in the final round of voting. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck of the NZ Warriors poses on stage with the Dally M Medal after being named the NRL's player of the year.
"I remember the first time I came to these awards in 2013, Cooper Cronk won the Dally M and I remembered sitting there thinking, 'Man, it would be a dream to win this award'. "I didn't know that day would come, so I feel truly blessed to be holding this trophy and wearing this medal."
