Cooper Cronks historic week could continue on Wednesday night with the Melbourne star headlining a strong contingent of players for the Dally M medal.Just four days after joining the rare 300-game club, the Storm halfback can become only the eighth player to claim the games highest gong on multiple occasions at The Star in Sydney.However the Queensland and Australian No.7 faces stiff opposition from teammate Cameron Smith, as well as Canberras Josh Hodgson and North Queenslands Jason Taumalolo.Cronk, Smith and Taumalolo, together with Gold Coast prop Ryan James, were all locked on 16 points when voting went behind closed doors at the end of round 16.Hodgson, who would be the first Englishman to win the award, was two points behind but will be stripped of points for a one-week suspension in round 23.But it might not have even be enough to stop a vintage Cronk, who set up 29 tries, had 22 line breaks and scored 12 tries himself on his way to leading his teammates to a grand final.The Storm lost only two games from round 17 onwards.A win would add to his 2013 gong, joining Peter Sterling, Mick Potter, Gavin Miller, Cliff Lyons, Andrew Johns, Johnathan Thurston and Jarryd Hayne as multiple winners.Reigning Dally M winner Thurston won the medal a record fourth time last year.A win for Smith, Hodgson or Taumalolo would be the first time a forward has claimed the award since the Storm skipper took out the medal for his first honour in 2006.Sharks coach Shane Flanagan, Titans counterpart Neil Henry and the Raiders Ricky Stuart are all in contention to win the coach of the year award.Stuarts reborn Raiders could feature up to four players in the team of the year, with Jordan Rapana, Joey Leilua, Josh Papalii and Hodgson in line for positional prizes.Stuart has been praised for leading Canberra to their first preliminary final in almost 20 years, while Henry has also been credited for pushing an underrated Titans team to the finals.Flanagans Sharks will contend for a maiden grand final, just two years after the club was brought to its knees during the ASADA scandal in 2013-14.Gold Coast youngster Ashley Taylor is the raging favourite to beat out Penrith teenager Nathan Cleary as rookie of the year.WHEN DALLY M VOTING WENT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS16 points - Cooper Cronk (Storm), Ryan James (Titans), Cameron Smith (Storm), Jason Taumalolo (Cowboys)14 points - Josh Hodgson (Raiders), Corey Norman (Eels), Andrew Fifita (Sharks)13 points - Michael Ennis (Sharks), Darius Boyd (Broncos)12 points - Johnathan Thurston (Cowboys) Steve Atwater Jersey .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras. Ahmad Gooden Jersey . The Olympic champion curler and TSN curling analyst immediately went online to look at the Halls long list of honoured members. Thats when the enormity of the honour sunk in. http://www.cheapbroncosjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-garett-bolles-jersey . Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. Bradley Chubb Jersey . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side. George Aston Jersey . Soukalova missed only one target and completed the 15-kilometre course in 40 minutes, 32.6 seconds for both victories in this seasons individual discipline. Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34. Thirteen hundred receiving yards or 25% of the teams production through the air; 1,373 combined return yards, almost half the teams special teams production; and 17 scores, a whopping one third of the teams total scoring. Thats what the Hamilton Tiger-Cats stand to lose if Most Outstanding Special Teams Player and star receiver Chris Williams continues his holdout all year. To be fair, whoever the Tiger-Cats tab to be Williams replacement – both on offence and special teams – will make up for some of that loss production; but the playmaking New Mexico State product was a potential game-changer every time he had the ball in his hands last year, and that is something that just cant be replaced. Maybe Williams changes his mind and reports to Hamilton to pplay out the final year of his contract before his inevitable jump to the NFL, but at least from here, that scenario doesnt look promising.dddddddddddd “(Williams agent) Dan (Vertlieb) has not contacted us nor has Chris,” Ticats head coach Kent Austin told reporters after a CFL arbitrator ruled the Williams contract with Hamilton was valid. “Hes got our numbers.” With it looking more likely Williams will take the year off every day, it will be up to everyone else to step up some and chip away at the lost production. Finding someone to duplicate Williams special teams prowess will be a yeomans work, but the accumulated talent on offence has a fair shot to mask the receivers absence. Visit TSN.ca
