The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 12

Ben Barba has joined a three-way tie at the top of the 2015 Willie M Medal leaderboard after an inept performance against the Dragons. Barba provided very little and it is unclear what reason other than pride Shane Flanagan has in persisting with him. The 2012 Dally M Medal winner has been a horrific purchase for the Sharks and will be a rod in their backs until Shane Flanagan is ousted.
