Nicho Hynes has shot out to a big lead at the head of Zero Tackle's NRL MVP on the back of a perfect Round 3.
Hynes was joined in scoring a perfect round by Cameron Munster and Cameron Murray, however, neither of the duo scored a vote across the first two rounds, meaning they are still well down the pecking order - 28 votes behind Hynes.
Last week's joint leaders, Jake Clifford and Jahrome Hughes also both failed to score a vote, meaning there has been plenty of changes at the top.
Ryan Papenhuyzen has taken second spot after a consistent start to the season, equal with Josh Curran, while Tom Dearden has risen to fourth spot.
Izack Tago, on the back of 19 votes, also appears in the top ten, while Daly Cherry-Evans was the only other player this week to score 19 out of 20.
Here are the Round 3 votes.
The Sharks kicked off the weekend with a blitzing of the Dragons, running on plenty of points in a wet and windy Wollongong. Nicho Hynes was the star of the show, scoring a perfect round on the back of an excellent performance, with the Sharks almost seemingly playing dry weather football at times.

In a dour encounter on Friday evening, the Tigers will feel hard done by after a possible Luciano Leilua try wasn't sent to the bunker. West would eventually fall in a close encounter to the Warriors, who aren't far away from welcoming Shaun Johnson back. Josh Curran continues to go from strength to strength.

A disaster for the Sydney Roosters as they fell back into the losing column, but the Rabbitohs gained a much-needed victory after two straight losses to start the season. Cameron Murray was the main man, scoring the first try and then assisting another two during a game with heavy involvement.

Mitch Barnett's send off and inevitable suspension was the major talking point from Saturday afternoon's clash in Bathurst, but it was the Panthers who extended their winning start to the season.
