The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 15

Mitchell Moses has pulled to a four-point lead in the 2015 Willie M Medal after claiming three votes in the loss to the Sea Eagles. Moses can pull off a spectacular play – and that unpredictability can be helpful – but his game isn’t close to being ready for regular first grade.

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 8

Manu Vatuvei’s inconsistency continues to reach new heights with an absolute stinker full of handling errors, poor positioning and shocking defence. Jason Nightingale was dropped from the Kiwi side but it should have been Vatuvei. And a big thanks to Cliff Bingham for keeping the show ticking while I was honeymooning without a laptop in […]

The race for the Willie M Medal is on in earnest as we approach the one-third mark of the season.

The show (of rugby league mediocrity) must go on though. Origin representatives James Maloney and Daly Cherry-Evans were the […]

Warriors stars Shaun Johnson and Manu Vatuvei have put themselves well in contention for this year’s Willie M with two more shocking performances against the Storm. If Johnson wins he will be the first player to go from Golden Boot to Willie M. Canterbury v South Sydney 3-James Graham (Bul) 2-Josh Reynolds (Bul) 1-Chris McQueen […]

The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 4

Joel Reddy has streaked to the front of the 2015 Willie M Medal count after another inept performance against the Eels, dropping the ball twice and generally looking like he had the pace of an old hog with arthritis. Heaven help the Bunnies if he keeps his first grade spot. His run to the Willie […]
