Five players scored a perfect 20 out of 20 during Round 14 in Zero Tackle’s NRL<\/a> MVP, with Penrith Panthers<\/a> star Nathan Cleary<\/a> reclaiming the lead as his fantastic season rolls on.<\/p>\n

Cleary’s perfect 20 in the Panthers’ 68-0 rout of the Tigers has shuffled him back to the top of the leaderboard by 11 votes, with Dylan Edwards<\/a> securing 3 votes to jump Scott Drinkwater<\/a> in the queue. They are both double digits behind Cleary.<\/p>\n

James Tedesco<\/a> didn’t score, and is now equal fourth, 29 votes behind Nathan Cleary<\/a> alongside Haumole Olakau’atu<\/a>, who scored 20.<\/p>\n

Cleary and Olakau’atu were joined by Harry Grant<\/a>, Selwyn Cobbo<\/a> and Keano Kini<\/a>, while Mark Nawaqanitawase<\/a>, Robert Toia<\/a>, Ronaldo Mulitalo<\/a>, Briton Nikora<\/a>, Leo Thompson<\/a> and Jacob Kiraz<\/a> were the other players voted at the top of the pile by at least one judge.<\/p>\n

As a reminder of how this works, our panel, comprising Zero Tackle founder Matt Clements, journalist Leo Twemlow, and writer Dan Nichols, alongside myself as editor, will cast votes on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis from each game of the premiership season.<\/p>\n

Here are the Round 14 votes.<\/p>\n
