Parramatta Eels halfback Mitch Moses** has tonight been recognised at the 2025 Dally M, claiming the 2025 Dally M – Halfback of the Year award.
Parramatta Eels halfback Mitch Moses has been awarded the 2025 Dally M Halfback of the Year, capping off a remarkable season that solidified his status among the NRL’s elite playmakers. This accolade is a testament to his consistent excellence, leadership, and pivotal role in both club and representative rugby league.
A Season of Mastery
Moses’ 2025 campaign was nothing short of outstanding. He led the NRL in try assists, showcasing his vision and precision in orchestrating Parramatta’s attack. His partnership with new recruit Zac Lomax proved lethal, with Moses’ pinpoint passes enabling Lomax to exploit defensive lines effectively. This synergy was particularly evident in their aerial game, where Moses’ kicking game placed immense pressure on opposition defenses.
Beyond his club performances, Moses delivered a series of standout displays for New South Wales in the 2024 State of Origin series. He was instrumental in the Blues’ series-clinching victory, contributing four try assists, two line-break assists, and over 440 kick metres in Game II. In the decider, Moses sealed the win with a crucial try, earning the Player of the Match honors and reaffirming his status as one of the game’s premier halfbacks.
Leadership and Legacy
Off the field, Moses’ influence has been equally impactful. In early 2025, he was appointed captain of the Parramatta Eels, a role he embraced with pride and responsibility. His leadership was instrumental in guiding the team through a season of transition, especially following the departure of long-time five-eighth Dylan Brown to the Newcastle Knights.
Recognizing his importance to the club, the Eels secured Moses’ services with a significant five-year contract extension, ensuring he remains at the heart of their plans until at least 2029. This deal underscores the club’s commitment to building around Moses as a central figure in their quest for future success.
A Well-Deserved Recognition
The Dally M Halfback of the Year award is a fitting acknowledgment of Mitch Moses’ exceptional talent and dedication. His ability to consistently perform at the highest level, coupled with his leadership qualities, has made him a cornerstone of the Parramatta Eels and a respected figure in the NRL. As he continues to lead by example, Moses’ legacy as one of the game’s great halfbacks is firmly cemented.
