The 2013 Willie M Medal: Round 17
Canterbury bust Tony Williams all but wrapped up the 2013 Willie M Medal with another insipid display, collecting three votes in the 18-12 loss to the Knights. Despite losing Greg Eastwood, Williams was benched and in 50 minutes, managed just 73 metres and 14 tackles. Compare that to Panther Nigel Plum, who managed over 200 metres in just under 30 minutes.

How can you give Hodges 3 points? He set up about 3 or 4 tries there, give Maranta the points – he duffed up just about every one of them!
