SBW changes his mind. He's coming over to the UK as a free agent. He only signed a season long contract with the Roosters. .....if only! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/24454521

Something for Marwan to think about over the coming weeks!

I feel sorry for the poor sod who was in the squad, then got told he was being replaced. SBW should be good for ticket sales though.

I am sur ethat it wont belong before we here that we could replace Riley, Bridge or Waterhouse with SBW in their respective positions or he replaces ll them in one go he's that good

Why would Sonny Bill want to join Nocash's army of misfits and has beens ?

He'll be able to keep a foot in both camps then & turn out for Sale as well & see who offers him most money to stay ,league or union !

Tohu Harris is only a young guy who hasn't really played a lot. I doubt he would have been in the starting 17 much, but it still must be disappointing for him to be dropped just because SBW couldn't make a decision to save his life.

But he helped the Roosters win the NRL title so I'll let him off!

Is he still associated with that scumbag agent of his? and Antony Mundine?

More to the point, is mundine still blind in one eye?

Nassar? Yeah, I think he is.

Would love to see Sonny Bill in a Wire shirt, get the cheque book out Mr. Moran!!

....and a hook?

I think Sale will need more than SBW to level up with Saracens!

Should be good for ticket sales for the first HJ WC match. Sonny Bill for the Kiwis, new Wire signing Roy Asotasi captaining Samoa. Got my tickets and trying to persuade a couple of Union-going mates from Leicester to come up for the game.

There's no faulting his talent but would you forgo team cohesion and stability for that?

He comes across as a very likeable guy, I've seen him in interviews, he's a family man and very grounded but unfortunately he's either very badly advised or some of the people he surrounds himself are a disruptive influence on him, besides if he came over the papers would be constantly linking him with Sale or Harlequins etc.

Not for me regardless of his immense talent.

If the Wire sign Sonny Bill I may even consider renewing my season ticket.

So a team who have played in 3 of the last 4 finals isn't worth a season ticket renewal?

well he is a free agent BB. He only offered a pledge to the Roosters.

Williams has all the loyalty of a snake.

Great player he may be, but I think any club either code would be taking a huge risk.

So basically your argument is there's no faulting his talent, he comes across as a likeable guy, he's a family man and very grounded, but the papers would be linking him with moves to other clubs so we shouldn't sign him.

Also its interesting to see the impact he has on team cohesion and stability:
Bulldogs - won the NRL Grand Final
Chiefs - won the Super Rugby Grand Final
All Blacks - won the World Cup
Roosters - won the NRL Grand Final

Looks like he disrupts teams that haven't won anything for a while by helping them win the big prize in which case I would love him to disrupt us.

If you fart in a room you open the window and pray for a gust of wind, not a tornado.

The Chiefs changed the coaching staff top to bottom, I think SBW wasn't the catalyst or the reason for winning the top prize, a root and branch clear out with a sugar coated SBW hundreds and thousands sprinkles on top of the cake. A similar story at the Roosters.

You cannot question his ability but his commitment to the cause you could have a case for, the guy is a free spirit, a force of nature unfortunately similar to a tornado.

anyone who wouldnt want SBW to sign for Warrington are smoking crack!
Like Sally cinnamon says he's not done any harm wherever he's been, i mean he proper disrupted the Roosters season didnt he! I dont care if he's got the loyalty of a snake, if he came here

and gave us a season or two i'd take that!

By the Way he got Roosters player of the year!

There is more likelihood of Bridge St being declared a world heritage site than Williams signing for Wire.
