Dylan Edwards narrows MVP gap to one vote after strong performance, while other contenders fail to earn votes in Round 13.
Penrith Panthers fullback Dylan Edwards has closed the gap to just a single vote in Zero Tackle's NRL MVP at the end of Round 13.
With the North Queensland Cowboys coming up well short against the Canberra Raiders on Sunday afternoon, leader Scott Drinkwater failed to score a vote, which allowed Edwards, who played strongly and registered seven votes for his performance in the game immediately afterwards against the New Zealand Warriors, to score seven and close to within one overall.
It's another six votes then back to Nathan Cleary, who didn't play in Round 13 after suiting up for the NSW Blues on Wednesday evening. James Tedesco, Jackson Ford, Latrell Mitchell, Haumole Olakau'atu and Tolutau Koula also all failed to either play or poll, but are all within 33 votes of the lead.
Harry Grant moves into the top ten after managing 12 votes for the Melbourne Storm against the Sydney Roosters while backing up from Origin.
