The 18th Man’s Rookie Rankings, released after each round, take into account a player’s previous round performance and their season as a whole.
We are using the NRL’s criteria for Dally M Rookie of the Year; players are eligible for the Rookie of the Year in their debut season and the subsequent two NRL seasons. Once a player plays his fifth NRL Premiership match (or Super League match), he becomes ineligible for the Rookie of the Year in any subsequent seasons.
