Gold Coast halfback Lauren Brown has extended her lead in Dally M voting after another starring performance for the Titans in Round 2 of NRLW matches.
Brown, who played a key role in Queensland's historic State of Origin series win, picked up the maximum six points in the Titans 28-12 defeat of Wests Tigers to add to the six points she earned in Round 1.
Raiders playmaker Zahara Temara also polled a further two votes in Saturday's 26-20 loss to the Knights to remain in second place - five behind Brown.
Canberra team-mate Simaima Taufa received a further three votes to take her tally to six and move into equal third place with Cronulla's Annessa Biddle, who got six votes in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Eels.
Jillaroos five-eighth Tarryn Aiken picked up five votes in Sydney Roosters 28-12 win against the Broncos to join Sharks lock Brooke Anderson, who received two votes in Round 2, and Parramatta fullback Abi Church in equal fifth.
