The Handyman Magazine Medal will now go behind closed doors for the remaining two rounds of the NRL season with Shaun Johnson just ahead of a chasing pack that includes Cooper Cronk, 2014 and 2015 winner Johnathan Thurston, Jason Taumalolo and Ryan James.

Anthony Milford and Cameron Smith are sitting on 23 points and will need minor miracles to snatch the award from those above them. Their job made even more difficult by the fact Melbourne plays Brisbane this Friday night.
