The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 3
The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 3
It is extremely rare for a club captain to feature on the leaderboard for the Willie M Medal … but that is exactly what we have with new Warriors captain Ryan Hoffman. The former Storm star was solid enough in his first season with New Zealand but has been shocking over the opening rounds, featuring twice in the votes. A lot of veterans seem to have fallen off a cliff this year and Hoffman is certainly one of those players.

Chris Parkinson – you have got to be kidding, Dane Gagai nearly lost the game for Newcastle single-handedly.
Hey nick, didn’t see the whole tigers vs Titans game, though how did naiqama get the 3 points after scoring 3 tries?
Agreed, I watched the whole game and he was no way the worst player on the park. Think he was still upset about the dogs being beat the night before
I’m w James, Naiqama was the best of the Tigers out there. Should have given Nofo or Lawrence the 3.
