Broncos forward Payne Haas has joined Titans captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui atop the Dally M leaderboard following Round 4 with the pair both polling four points across the weekend's games.
Haas joined teammate Reece Walsh in collecting four points from Friday's Brisbane derby win over the Dolphins – taking him to a season total of 13 Dally M points – while Fa'asuamaleaui also picked up four points in the Titans' loss to the Cowboys.
North Queensland playmaker Tom Dearden picked up a maximum six points in that game, moving him in to the top ten on the leaderboard, as Cody Walker and Nicho Hynes also picked up maximum points in their side's respective wins.
Four players collected three points each in the Storm's win over Wests Tigers – Trent Loiero, Harry Grant, Cameron Munster and Jonah Pezet equally splitting the votes – while Mitchell Moses and Shaun Johnson's late heroics to get their teams home also saw them collect five votes each from the round.

With the Broncos undefeated through four rounds, it's little surprise to see Kevin Walters' side dominating the leaderboard also with Haas and Walsh joining Adam Reynolds inside the top five players alongside Fa'asuamaleaui and Jacob Kiraz.
Sea Eagles captain Daly Cherry-Evans joins Grant just behind the trio on 10 points with Dolphins fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow in the hunt on nine points.
The revamped Dally M voting process will see two judges watch each game in 2023 and award points on a three-two-one basis, meaning a maximum of six points are available for every match of the 2023 Telstra Premiership season.
