The NRL Lurker's Dally M votes: Roger Tuivasa-Sheck retains lead; Valentine Holmes makes late charge image

With the NRL taking Dally M votes behind closed doors after round 12, The Lurker has picked up the slack to hand out the 3-2-1 for every game, every week. His couch imprint is already formidable. Check out the final week of official voting here.

Valentine Holmes, over to you.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Kalyn Ponga are split by Luke Brooks, but Holmes is making an inspired late-season push.

Cronulla's No. 1 took three Dally M points from his side's win over the Cowboys to vault up the leaderboard, and with two rounds remaining, anything is possible.

Tuivasa-Sheck and Brooks didn't poll over the weekend, while Ponga grabbed one vote in his side's upset win in Penrith.

Meanwhile, young AJ Brimson was sensational as the Titans toppled the sorry Sea Eagles, and was my player of the round. Easy to forget he's only 19, such are his skills.

However, all eyes are on leader RTS as the regular season winds down.

Can anyone catch the Kiwi?

Here's my complete breakdown of all eight games this weekend.
