Four One New Zealand Warriors players split six Dally M points between them for their performances in Sunday’s testing 14-12 round four NRLW win over Parramatta.
The Warriors needed a second half try from centre Tysha Ikenasio en route to holding on for their third win of the season.
The standout performer in the contest was Parramatta fullback Abbi Church who collected the maximum six points for her two-try effort.
Warriors back rowers Shakira Baker and Kaiyah Atai were awarded two points each with hooker Jay Huriwai and interchange dummy half Patricia Maliepo picking up one point each.
In a grinding contest in which the One New Zealand Warriors battled back a 4-12 deficit to win, Baker and Atai carried huge workloads.
