NRL: The North Queensland Cowboys were awarded an unexpected penalty try late in their blowout win against the Dolphins when the bunker ruled that Zac Laybutt was run off the ball.
NRL head of football Graham Annesley has defended the league’s decision to keep the identity of Dally M voters anonymous after some of the round one decisions were widely ridiculed.
The NRL changed the Dally M voting system last year with two judges awarding votes, with a player eligible for a maximum six points per game. “It’s a season-long competition, so people will agree or disagree . It happens publicly for the first half of the year and then it goes behind closed doors.“They are all high-profile former players, and it shouldn’t matter who they are.
“It’s about the credibility and the integrity of the process, so it shouldn’t matter who is doing the selections as long as they’re people who are qualified to do it.”Addressing the much talked about penalty try awarded to North Queensland in Sunday’s win over the Dolphins, Annesley said he would have been comfortable if it had of been downgraded to a penalty and possibly a sin bin.
