The 2015 Willie M Medal: Round 6

Congratulations to Making The Nut’s founder Nick Tedeschi or marrying his beautiful bride Louise last Friday – with Nick on his honeymoon, the Willie M votes are under caretaker management for the next couple of weeks. The show (of rugby league mediocrity) must go on though. Origin representatives James Maloney and Daly Cherry-Evans were the big movers on the Willie M leaderboard this week. Maloney failed to deliver in the critical moments against the Broncos, while Cherry-Evans’ performance set the tone for another stinker from the Sea Eagles on Saturday night.
