Eels playmaker Rachael Pearson has moved to the equal lead in Dally M voting after a dominant display in her side's commanding win over the Raiders.
Pearson scored a try and kicked seven goals for a personal tally of 18 points as the Eels saluted 46-18 to jump to third on the ladder. The skipper also ran for 118 metres and had two line break assists and a try assist.
Sitting atop the Dally M leaderboard alongside Pearson are Broncos winger Julia Robinson and Roosters centre Isabelle Kelly, who both polled votes after a high-quality contest between their sides at Totally Workwear Stadium.
Another star in Round 3 was Cowboys prop Makenzie Weale who polled the maximum six votes on the back of 17 runs for 155 metres in her side's gutsy win over the Sharks.
Try July: Chapman is flippin' good!
