The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 13

 

It would seem only the health and wellbeing of starters Todd Carney and Jeff Robson – and the continued support of interim coach Peter Sharp – that will prevent Daniel Holdsworth from claiming the 2014 Willie M Medal. He is, simply, terrible. He is not only not up to first grade standard, I doubt he is up to NSW Cup standard. He looks like a wounded antelope in a pack of baying wolves or Warren Ryan in 2014 – out of place, bewildered and a danger to themselves and others.
