Round 7 snapshot: Prop surges into Dally M contention

Unheralded prop James Fisher-Harris has stormed into contention for the Dally M Medal with a powerful performance in Penrith's win over Newcastle.

Latrell Mitchell has received the most votes but is now ineligible for the award after his suspension last week while injured Storm fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen holds a one-vote lead over Fisher-Harris, who is now outright second on the official leaderboard.

The NRL commemorated Anzac Day across all eight games with clubs wearing special jerseys and paying tribute to Australia and New Zealand's defence forces, past and present.

History was made with the new 18th man rule being enacted three times over the weekend while a couple of players are facing lengthy bans for high shots.

The Tigers suffered another disappointing loss but the club has denied it is in crisis and is confident of turning their season around.

All the scorelines, highlights, injuries and judiciary news from the seventh round of the Telstra Premiership.
