The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 3
South Sydney may have won the premiership last year and every bit of silverware since – and they may be undefeated through three weeks – but they face a mammoth task winning the title again with Joel Reddy in the team. Few players are as incompetent as Reddy, who seems to be Michael Maguire’s self-employed […]
The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 2
The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 2 Cronulla recruit Ben Barba has rocketed into Willie M Medal favouritism as he looks to become the first Dally M Medal winner to claim the Willie M. He was horrific again on Friday night as the Sharks were held tryless at home to a team who conceded 30 […]
The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 1
The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 1 The award honouring Rugby League’s most mediocre men, most failing footballers, most pathetic players and most shameful stars is back – yes, the 2015 Willie M Medal is underway. For the uninitiated, the Willie M Medal is like the Dally M Medal in reverse – giving 3,2,1 votes […]
The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 26
The final votes have been awarded, the polls are closed and in 2014 I am pleased to announce that we have joint winners of the Willie M Medal. Newcastle’s Joey Leilua and Canberra’s Josh McCrone finished the season on 19 votes each and have been honoured as the recipient’s in the award’s fifth year.
The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 25
With Jonathan Wright suspended, we are down to three hopes for the 2015 Willie M Medal. Roosters five-eighth James Maloney can only tie for the award after picking up a single vote in the win against Melbourne. The race, it would appear, is down to Newcastle front-runner Joey Leilua and Raiders man-o-no-skills Josh McCrone. […]
The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 24
In an incredible weekend for the Willie M Medal, the top three in voting all received votes to make the Medal essentially a three-moron race. Cliff Bingham gave Joey Leilua three votes for his stinker against the Broncos, where he was given an absolute bath. And in the shambolic Sharks-Raiders clash, Josh McCrone got three […]
The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 23
Terrible Cronulla centre Jonathan Wright has placed himself in prime position for the Willie M Medal, moving to within a single point of the lead after a three-point effort against the Melbourne Storm. Wright was given a bath by Mahe Fonua, which just about says it all. How Wright continues to play first grade […]
The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 22
Chris Lawrence made a surprise return for the Wests Tigers on Saturday night and another stellar performance that included four errors, a penalty and plenty of missed tackles. His return – and the Tigers’ long odds of winning another game this season – has him right in the mix for the Willie M Medal […]
The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 21
Canberra’s Josh McCrone has had a horrific year and with Ricky Stuart refusing to make any changes he is going to get every chance to claim the 2014 Willie M Medal. McCrone was shocking defensively, abjectly awful with the ball and an all-round struggler when getting 2 points against the Warriors on Sunday. It is […]
The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 20
A perfect three from Sydney Roosters five-eighth James Maloney against Newcastle has pushed him into favouritism for the Willie M Medal with just six rounds to play. While the contenders are lining up, Maloney has a distinct advantage – he is no change at getting dropped. Maloney has picked up eight votes in five weeks […]
