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 […]
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 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 19
Jamal Idris’ return to first grade has been, to put it kindly, average at best. To tell the truth, it has been a horrific return. He was absolutely horrific against the Roosters, missing tackles and running sideways, showing no awareness and almost no energy. Idris may think he is above football but the fact […]
The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 16
The Newcastle Knights centre Joey Leilua is back on top in the Willie M Medal after another insipid performance, despite a Knights victory. Leilua carries on like he is Billy Slater but he plays like he is Greg Smith. Newcastle would be well off tossing his backside to reserve grade.
The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 14
It is hard to fathom why Jarrod Mullen is constantly presented as a State of Origin prospect at the start of every year only for him to play himself out by the time NSW selection rolls around. Mullen is an average first grader at best. He provides little leadership while his kicking game is far […]
The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 11
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. It has been a fairly hectic fall for Ben Barba, who two years ago won the Dally M Medal and now is right in the mix for a Willie M Medal. Barba was again a passenger for the Broncos. Anthony Griffin may need to dump Barba or shift him […]
