The NRL has found itself in hot water once again over what can only be described as a Dally M medal voting "farce".
Rugby league commentators are up in arms after it was revealed that Dylan Brown, despite his lackluster performance, managed to secure one vote following the Eels' defeat at the hands of the Raiders in Canberra.
Brown, who has been filling in for the injured Mitchell Moses in the pivotal halfback position, has struggled to ignite Parramatta's attack in their recent losses to the Tigers and Raiders.
Many have questioned whether he is the right fit for the position, with some calling for him to be moved back to five-eighth.
Despite the criticisms, Parramatta coach Brad Arthur has come to Brown's defense, insisting that the young Kiwi international is still finding his feet in the role.
However, the fact that he managed to secure a Dally M vote in the midst of such scrutiny has left fans scratching their heads.
In the world of Rugby League, where every move is scrutinized and analyzed, this latest voting controversy has only added fuel to the fire.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen whether Brown can silence his critics and prove his worth in the key playmaking position.
But for now, the uproar over his Dally M vote continues to be a talking point among fans and pundits alike.
