what is the provan summons medal for

The Provan Summons Medal is an award given to a rugby league player who is voted by the public as the best player of the year. The award was first established in 1997, replacing the Rothmans Medal, which was the first official player-of-the-year award to be established in rugby league in Australia. The Provan Summons Medal is named after two rugby league players, Norm Provan and Arthur Summons, who were immortalized in bronze in the trophy. In addition to the Provan Summons Medal, there are other awards given during the Dally M Awards night, such as the Player of the Year, the Spirit of the Game award, and the Top Tryscorer award.
