Mitch Garbutt and Jackson Hastings lead the Albert Goldthorpe Medal table after both securing three points in wins over Wakefield Trinity and Catalans Dragons respectively.
Both players now have 10 points with Theo Fages a point behind after collecting the maximum of three points in St Helens’ 26-0 win over London Broncos.
Last week’s leader Liam Watts failed to gain any points in Castleford’s defeat to Warrington so slips to fourth place.
Meanwhile, last year’s winner Stefan Ratchford was presented with his Medal last week by League Express Editor Martyn Sadler. Ratchford won the award after Luke Gale’s three-year dominance of the award from 2015 to 2017.
