    Jason Taumalolo becomes the first proper forward to win the Dally M since 1989, and the first kiwi since Gary Freeman in '92 when he shared it last night with Cooper Cronk.

    Bromwich named prop of the year as well.

    If they win will the Warriors be the only team James Maloney never won the championship with when playing as a regular in the first grade team?

    @canefan yes. And it leaves i think just us and the Titans as the only teams not to win a comp. FML

    @mariner4life Great that Taumalolo won the Dally M. Shows he is far and away the best player in the competition, since the Dally M is traditionally skewered towards halfbacks.

    Taumalolo, Jordan Rapana and Joseph Tapine added to Kiwis training squad. Squad is named after the GF.

    @Sneakdefreak he's had an incredible year. Was massive against the Broncos. His minutes got longer, and his impact was through the roof.

    Maybe not the best player in the comp, but certainly the most effective.

    Taumalolo, Tapau, Bromwich and Matulino will take some stopping for the kiwis. Add in the support cast of Proctor and Harris and it's some pack we are assembling.

    Finally! Hope he makes the actual team and hope the Cowboys let Taumalolo play.

    Rapana is a certainty for the wing and if Vunivalu is eligible (which he probably is since he played schoolboy rugby here) I could see Jason Nightingale being the fullback (because every Kiwis team needs Nightingale in there somewhere).

    Grand Final day and a good (but not great) player is calling it a career after the final whistle.

    What time (NZT) does the GF kick off?
    Can't be bothered with any of the BS beforehand.

    7:28PM Sydney time. We started DST today so we're back to 2 hours' difference.

    NOTE: it was 7:18PM but they added Gould minutes.

    I think it's a stupid time to kickoff on a Sunday. 5pm Local time is much better for a Sunday night.

    Barba in off the base of the scrum.

    I'm liking the work of the two Sharks wingers, Sosaia Feki and Valentine Holmes.

    Maloney has exposed Tohu Harris twice
