Dally M Awards
The Dally M Awards are, as usual, conducted at the close of the regular season and hence do not take games played in the finals series into account.
The Dally M Medal is for the official player of the year, while in a change from previous seasons, the Provan-Summons Medal was awarded to Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs skipper Josh Jackson for the sportsmanship he showed in consoling Wests Tigers goalkicker Paul Momirovski after he missed a goal to force golden point against the Bulldogs in round 21.{{cite web|url=https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/10/02/dally-m-awards-2019-best-of-the-best/ |title=Roosters star James Tedesco takes 2019 Dally M Medal |publisher=NRL.com |date=2 October 2019}}
