Nathan Cleary extends Dally M lead with five votes after a standout performance, scoring a try and assisting in Panthers' win.
Nathan Cleary's bid to become just the second Panther to win the coveted Dally M Medal gathered pace in Round 10 as the game's premier playmaker produced another majestic performance against the Raiders.
Cleary scored a try and landed five conversions to go with two line breaks, two try assists and seven tackle breaks as the Panthers saluted 30-18 to take their record to 9-1.
Looking to emulate Greg Alexander's 1985 Dally M success, Cleary polled five votes to take his tally to 38, seven clear of Warriors forward Jackson Ford and eight clear of fellow Panther Dylan Edwards.
