There is still a round to be played in the NRL but we have our 2016 Willie M Medallist with Daniel Tupou joining a long list of mediocre players including Chris Sandow, Blake Ferguson and last year’s winner Tyrone Roberts.

From The Couch: Round 23
Has Anyone On the Match Review Committee Ever Watched A Game of Rugby League? That would be the first qualification that should be checked.

From The Couch: Round 22
The Bunker, Home of the Moron: Bernard Sutton strikes at less than 50-50 in the Bunker and amazingly is still employed. His performance on Sunday in the Tigers-Cowboys game was beyond absurd.
