00:00 The best men and women in rugby league will be crowned tonight at the Dally M Awards.

00:07 Players and partners have donned their best on the red carpet celebrating what has been

00:12 a huge year in rugby league.

00:15 When voting went behind closed doors in round 12 it was Brisbane Broncos Payne Haas who

00:20 was in the lead on 30 points.

00:23 But the favourite, the one to watch is New Zealand Warriors halfback Sean Johnson.

00:28 I sort of feel like I'm not the favourite and then people are telling me I am and I

00:32 haven't actually thought about it in depth.

00:33 I'm going to probably just stick with the favourite Sean Johnson.

00:36 Sean Johnson had a camera phone him so I don't know if that's a bit of an inside on it.

00:39 For the women's top gong Canberra Raiders Samima Tulfo, she was in the lead after four

00:45 rounds on 15 points.

00:47 But the favourite to take out the ultimate honour in the women's game is Newcastle Knights

00:51 Tameka Upton.

00:52 But she'll be taking it easy tonight preparing for Sunday's grand final against the Gold

00:58 Coast Titans.
