Joe Tapine is in the best form of his career, and he has the Meninga Medal to prove it.
The 28-year-old took out his first Canberra Raiders' best-and-fairest on Monday night with 44 votes in the final tally, 22 points clear of his teammate Jack Wighton in second place.
But it is no surprise in 2022. Tapine leads the NRL in post-contract metres by more than 100 metres, is second in offloads and is the only prop alongside two fullbacks in the top three players for most run metres this season.
