In Round 22 of Zero Tackle's NRL MVP race, six players had perfect rounds, yet the overall leader remains unchanged: Sydney Roosters' James Tedesco. Despite not receiving any votes in his latest game against the Manly Sea Eagles, Tedesco's lead stands firm, holding a ten-vote margin from the previous week, although it has halved, now sitting just above Terrell May.
May earned five votes following the Tigers' significant victory over the Canterbury Bulldogs on Sunday. Meanwhile, Herbie Farnworth delivered an impressive performance against the Warriors, securing nine votes. Unfortunately, his season appears to be cut short due to a hamstring injury.
Currently, Farnworth trails Tedesco by 27 votes. In fourth place, Addin Fonua-Blake has surged ahead by delivering an outstanding showing for the Sharks against the Cowboys in rainy conditions, sitting 26 votes behind Tedesco.
Additionally, Nathan Cleary has entered the top ten for the first time this season, buoyed by a man-of-the-match display for the Panthers in their narrow win over the Titans.
