The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 5

 

Clint Gutherson struck as a highly astute buy by the Parramatta Eels. Five rounds in and it looks like he is a total bust. He has been dreadfully underwhelming with poor hands and worse judgment. The Eels have nobody who deserves his spot so perhaps it is just time to bite the bullet and bring back the haircut with lair.
