WESTS Tigers hooker Robbie Farah has maintained his lead at the top of the Dally M rankings and is two points clear his nearest rival, North Queensland Cowboys halfback Johnathan Thurston.
Farah turned in another three-point performance in the Tigers' gripping one point win over the Penrith Panthers on Sunday.
Thurston also earned three points in the Cowboys' win over the Bulldogs on Saturday night to keep up the pressure on Farah.
Cowboys fullback Matt Bowen scored two Dally M points in the win to see him move up to equal fourth place on the table with 14 points.
Newcastle fullback Kurt Gidley (third on 15 points) is out injured and missed his side's 71-6 caning at the hands of the Broncos.
The Titans' Scott Prince earned three points in his team's win against South Sydney to see him move into seventh place on the Dally M leaderboard.
