The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 22

Penrith’s Waqa Blake has pushed himself into contention with a dramatic late-season run at the Willie M. The Penrith outside back who came into the top grade with so much promise has turned out to be a total dud, putting in a worst-on-ground performance against Parramatta. The Panthers have plenty of outside backs and Blake […]

The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 21

  Last year’s winner Joey Leilua is making a late-season push with Canberra to go back-to-back with a stinker against the Cowboys, claiming worst-on-ground status. He has claimed five points in the last two weeks and will be pushing right to the end with his all-round awful game.

The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 17

Valentine Holmes may well be an attacking phenom who shapes as the next Roger Tuivasa-Sheck but he cannot defend a lick and it cost Cronulla dearly on Sunday. Opposite Jorge Taufua scored three tries because Holmes could not make a decent read, could not tackle and actually seemed scared of his opposite. He has a […]

The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 14

If Corey Thompson plays first grade again it will be one more game than he deserves. He near single-handedly cost the Bulldogs the two points with a truly inept display that was deserving of 10 Willie M votes, not the maximum of three available. His pissweak decision not to contest a ball before the break […]

The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 12

Ben Barba has joined a three-way tie at the top of the 2015 Willie M Medal leaderboard after an inept performance against the Dragons. Barba provided very little and it is unclear what reason other than pride Shane Flanagan has in persisting with him. The 2012 Dally M Medal winner has been a horrific purchase […]
