Olakau'atu named in Dally M Team of the Year

Congratulations to Haumole Olakau’atu on being named in the 2026 Dally M Team of the Year.

This recognition follows a standout season from Haumole who recently cleaned up at the Sea Eagles 2026 Awards Night and was also named in the 2026 Players’ Dream Team.

The right-edge wrecking ball was awarded the Roy Bull Medal as the Sea Eagles’ Player of the Year for 2026, was named Players’ Player, collected the Gordon Willoughby Medallion as the Members’ Player of the Year, and received the prestigious Blue-Collar Award.

Olakau’atu scored nine tries in 21 games amassing 3,598 run metres across the season. That’s an incredible 171 run metres on average per game to go with a staggering 128 tackle breaks.

Further evidence that Haumole was at the top of his game in 2026 came in the overall voting for this year’s Dally M Medal, where he was in equal fourth position after 24 rounds.
