The Zero Tackle's NRL MVP rankings saw a new leader emerge after Round 5, with Jye Gray taking over the top spot from Terrell May.
May, who had been leading in the early rounds, only managed four votes in Round 5, causing him to lose his position.
Gray's strong performance in Round 5, earning a perfect score of 20, helped him to claim the top spot.
Despite his excellent performance, Gray's position as fullback for Wayne Bennett's team had been at risk but now seems secure.
Following Gray, Clint Gutherson moved into third place after a strong showing in Round 5, while Payne Haas fell behind after scoring zero in the Broncos' victory over the Wests Tigers.
The shifting leaderboard highlights the competitive nature of the NRL MVP race, with each week bringing surprises and changes in ranking.
