NRLW Dally M Update: Round 4

Wests Tigers forward Sarah Togatuki has joined Zahara Temara in second place behind front-runner Simaima Taufa after four rounds of Dally M voting for the NRL Telstra Women's Premiership.

Taufa has set up a six-point lead on her rivals after earning maximum points for the second consecutive week following her efforts in the Raiders' 19-18 win over the Dragons in Wollongong. 

Togatuki has entered into the top three alongside her former Roosters teammates with both the representative prop and Temara on 11 points after gaining votes in Round 4. 

Togatuki earned a total five votes from two judges in her side's loss to the Cowboys while Temara gained four of the remaining votes taken by Taufa.

The new Dally M voting process sees 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 Women's Premiership season.

The fourth round of the NRLW will be the final where votes are publicly displayed and will now go behind closed doors until the winner is announced in September.

Knights fullback Tamika Upton was the only other player in Round 4 to earn maximum votes with six after her efforts against the Titans.

Roosters five-eighth Tarryn Aiken has also entered the top 10 with teammate Isabelle Kelly close behind.
