Roger Tuivasa-Sheck claims maiden Dally M Medal

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has become the first Warrior to win the Dally M medal as the Kiwi fullback heralded a new generation of talent in the NRL.

Tuivasa-Sheck polled 29 votes to win the league's player-of-the-season award by two points from Newcastle's Kalyn Ponga, with Cronulla's Valentine Holmes in third.

In a sign of the changing times, none of the top five -- which also included Luke Brooks and Mitchell Pearce -- have previously polled in the top five positions at the Dally Ms during their career.

The Warriors fullback trailed by one vote with a round to go, but polled three points in the final round against Canberra while Ponga remained on the sideline injured.

In doing so, he became the first fullback to win the award since Ben Barba in 2012, as he averaged 167 metres a match and busted through a total of 92 tackles.

"He's had a wonderful year for the footy club so he has to be a chance," Warriors coach Stephen Kearney told AAP earlier on Wednesday.

"Everyone knows Rog for his attacking abilities but I thought a number of times this year he has saved tries for us. I thought that was a really good part for us."

Meanwhile Pearce's effort to finish fifth -- and just six points off the pace -- in his first year at Newcastle is most impressive considering he missed nine games through injury in the middle of the season.

In other awards, Melbourne skipper Cameron Smith won captain of the year, South Sydney's Anthony Seibold was coach of the year and Brisbane's Jamayne Isaako was the rookie of the year after leading the point-scoring race.

Symbolic of the closest competition in the NRL's history, no club had more than one starting player in the Dally M team of the year.

Sunday's grand finalists Melbourne and the Sydney Roosters both had one pick, with Cameron Munster at five-eighth and Blake Ferguson as winger.

Meanwhile South Sydney's Damien Cook picked up both the Dally M hooker of the year award and the Provan Summons people's choice medal.

Brisbane's Brittany Breayley was the NRL women's player of the competition, while Gold Coast captain Ryan James won the Ken Stephen medal for his community work.

Meanwhile Dragons flyer Steve Morris was retrospectively awarded the 1979 Dally M , after it was never officially awarded.
