Rabbitohs fullback Jye Gray continued his impressive form, leading his team to victory over the Roosters and further solidifying his position at the top of the Dally M leaderboard.
Despite star Latrell Mitchell playing a key role in the match, it was Gray who stood out with his impressive stats, earning five votes while Mitchell received three.
The Rabbitohs' win was even more notable as they had to deal with injuries to both their halves during the game.
With his exceptional performance, Gray is now on track to potentially become only the second Rabbitohs player to win the Dally M Medal since Robert Laurie in 1980.
This achievement would mark a significant moment in Gray's career as he continues his impressive start to the 2025 season.
In Round 5 of the competition, Sharks' Addin Fonua-Blake and Broncos' Pat Carrigan were the only players to receive the maximum six votes, showcasing their standout performances.
Meanwhile, other players like Connor Tracey of the Bulldogs and Payne Haas of the Broncos also received recognition for their contributions in their respective matches.
The Dally M Medal race is heating up as more players continue to make their mark on the competition, with Gray leading the charge with his consistent and outstanding performances.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see if Gray can maintain his impressive form and potentially make history by winning the prestigious Dally M Medal.
