It was a tight contest between two Roosters for the fan voted Man Of The Match, but a first time winner has emerged after Round 9.
It was a back-and-forth between Matt Ikuvalu and Siosiua Taukeiaho after a battle with the Cowboys, but the five try hero has come through as the narrow winner to claim his first Fan Voted Man Of The Match nod.
Ikuvalu was nothing short of impressive in Round 9, stepping in for 3x Fan Voted Man Of The Match winner Brett Morris after an injury in the warm-up and scoring a whopping five tries to assist his side to a huge win in Townsville.
He won the MusclePharm Moment Of The Week and claimed 36% of the total votes in this week's poll.
