The conversation surrounding the top performers in Game 2 of the State of Origin has sparked some debate, particularly among the panel.
Cameron Munster, Sam Walker, and Selwyn Cobbo each received top votes from different judges, highlighting their impressive performances.
While all three received significant recognition, Walker was not included on all four lists, and Harry Grant made appearances on three of them.
Additional Queensland players-Kalyn Ponga, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, and Max Plath-also garnered votes.
On the other hand, Mark Nawaqanitawase was the sole player from New South Wales to receive any acknowledgment for his contributions.
Walker leads with 22 votes, creating an opportunity for any player with two or more votes to contend for the overall title.
This scenario means that Munster, Cobbo, Ethan Strange, Nathan Cleary, Grant, James Tedesco, Ponga, Tabuai-Fidow, Cameron Murray, and Plath remain firmly in the running.
Here's a look at the voting results for Game 2 and the current leaderboard after two matches in the series.
