With the NRL taking Dally M votes behind closed doors after round 12, The Lurker has picked up the slack to hand out the 3-2-1 for every game, every week. His couch imprint is already formidable. Check out the final week of official voting here.
Four men. Six rounds. One Dally M Medal.
This will be more entertaining than the Bulldogs-Parramatta clash last weekend. Actually, watching paint dry would probably have more excitement.
It comes down to four of the game's elite - favourite Kalyn Ponga, reigning champion Cameron Smith, dark horse Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and stagnating front-runner James Maloney.
Smith has left his run until late, earning 12 of my votes since it went behind closed doors in Round 12, but the return of Ponga will keep him on his toes.
As for Maloney, he's only conjured up three votes in that period, while Tuivasa-Sheck has put himself in contention with eight votes.
If you're stuck on who to back, don't ask Ruan Sims for a tip.
