Zero Tackle's NRL MVP is back for another year, with four players recording perfect scores during the opening round of the season.

The round was split across two weeks, with the opening two games being played in Las Vegas, before another six were played in Australia this weekend.

A number of usual suspects have made strong starts to their season, while a Raiders winger has also recorded perfect votes out of Canberra's win in Las Vegas over the New Zealand Warriors.

As was the case for every round last year, four judges from Zero Tackle's team (founder Matt Clements, writers Ethan Lee Chalk and Dan Nichols, and myself as editor), will assign votes on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis for every game during the season, with results to be published on a Monday or Tuesday each week here on Zero Tackle.

Without any further ado, here are the votes from Round 1.
