It’s that time of year where we start to celebrate the season that was and a host of NRL clubs have already held their end of season awards nights.
Minor Premiers, the Raiders, had a lot to celebrate at the Mal Meninga Medal, which was held the night after their one-point loss to the Broncos.
Captain Joseph Tapine claimed the Mal Meninga Medal for fourth-straight year — the first time in the club’s history.

Meanwhile, Bulldogs skipper Stephen Crichton walked away from the Dr. George Peponis Medal with both Player of the Year and Players’ Player honours.
Manly speedster Tolou Koula and Cowboys star Tom Dearden also got the double at their respective awards nights too.
Over at the Rabbitohs, Jai Arrow and Jye Gray cleaned up at the Red and Green Ball with the pair winning three awards each. Arrow took home the top honour and was overwhelmed with emotion when his name was read out.
