The Warriors keep winning and Jackson Ford keeps polling Dally M votes but a pair of Panthers are hot on his tail after Round 3.
Ford ran for 238 metres and made 44 tackles to pick up five votes as the Warriors outclassed the Knights 38-12 at McDonald Jones Stadium.
That takes the in-form Warrior to 17 Dally M votes, five clear of Panthers superstars Nathan Cleary and Dylan Edwards, who led their team to a dominant 40-4 over the Roosters.
The three players to poll the maximum six votes were Rabbitohs fullback Jye Gray, Eels playmaker Mitch Moses and Cowboys gun Scott Drinkwater, who produced a slashing solo try in Sunday's win over the Titans.
