Jarome Luai and Kalyn Ponga have sent a timely reminder to their respective State of Origin coaches, as both five-eighths earned maximum Dally M votes in their Round 11 victories.
In a dominant victory over the Roosters, Luai picked up six votes for his starring role and put himself back in the box-seat to claim the No.6 jumper for the NSW Blues.
And in his best game so far this season, Ponga helped orchestrate a point-scoring blitz against the Titans to also earn six votes.
Harry Grant moved into outright second on the leaderboard with five votes, but still sits five points behind overall leader Payne Haas, who still managed three votes despite Brisbane's loss to the Storm.
