The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 25

There is still a round to be played in the NRL but we have our 2016 Willie M Medallist with Daniel Tupou joining a long list of mediocre players including Chris Sandow, Blake Ferguson and last year’s winner Tyrone Roberts. Tupou has been rotten all season and has posted five worst-on performances. For a former representative player, it has been a completely unacceptable performance. Congratulations Daniel.
