A number of the NRL’s superstars have started the 2019 season with a bang and have been rewarded in the first set of Dally M votes for the year.
2016 joint winner, Jason Taumalolo earned maximum votes in North Queensland’s win over the Dragons, while Cameron Munster, a top-ten finisher in last year’s medal, got three votes from judge Darren Lockyer as the Storm beat his former side 22-12.
Players that also received three votes include Wests’ Robbie Farah, the Warriors’ Blake Green and Adam Reynolds from the Rabbitohs.
