The 2013 Willie M Medal: Round 23

 

Nathan Fien has announced his retirement and could retire with the Willie M Medal. Fien again polled against the Sharks, the Dragons nearly pinching victory in spite of Fien’s ineptitude. Fien has coaching in his future though, having signed on as captain-coach of the Thirroul Butchers in 2014. Note to self: do not back the Butchers.
