NRL clubs celebrated end-of-season awards; Raiders' Tapine, Bulldogs' Crichton win notable honors.
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.
