The award was named after Henry Herbert 'Dally' Messenger , who was instrumental in the establishment of Rugby League in Australia . The award was originally established in 1980 by the Daily Mirror newspaper and was for many years the second major individual award behind the Rothmans Medal. In 1998 , with the merger of the Australian Rugby League and the Australian Super League , the Dally M became the only player-of-the-year award. As well as honouring the player of the year, the Dally M medal also recognises the premier player in each position, the best coach and the most outstanding rookie of the season.
