The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 12
A couple of Canberra Raiders players have both put themselves in the hunt for the Willie M Medal with Jack Wighton moving into a tie for second while Josh McCrone is only five points from the lead. Sadly, this comes in a week when Wighton is touted as a potential Origin bolter while McCrone could get a nice deal from the Melbourne Storm. Oh, Rugby League gods, you are so unfair.

Benji at this rate will catch BJ Joseph Joey Jojo Shabadoo Leilua in no time.
Ken Sio was so horrible in the Eels game that it was one of the only times I was convinced I could predict some Willie M points.
Taufua almost deserved a point just for his non chase on Gillett. He looked fairly disinterested all day and that was the icing.
