The 2014 Willie M Medal: Round 23

 

Terrible Cronulla centre Jonathan Wright has placed himself in prime position for the Willie M Medal, moving to within a single point of the lead after a three-point effort against the Melbourne Storm. Wright was given a bath by Mahe Fonua, which just about says it all. How Wright continues to play first grade is a real tribute to Blake Ayshford’s ineptitude.
