He’s nothing but an immoral, money-grabbing, and dishonorable piece of work, being manipulated by an appallingly greedy management team that have been way, way too clever for the naive coaches and administrators from New Zealand rugby.
Ouch.
In his latest opinion piece for TVNZ, Williams calls BS on Williams comments.
So Sonny Bill says he’s going to play in the NRL because he made a handshake deal with some un-named person a few years ago that he would come back and play rugby league.
He says he wants to honour that handshake deal because he wants to keep ” his word”.
Then he reckons it’s a pity he’s leaving us, because he was really enjoying the Chiefs, going well in the team and it would be a real wrench to leave.
What nonsense.
Does this guy think we’ll think he’s a genuine guy, because he’s honouring a handshake deal? Keeping his “word”?
What about the actual contracts he’s walked out in the last few years? The Bulldogs, Toulon and now the NZRU, for whom I was under the impression he was supposed to be on the payroll till the end of the year.
I’m torn on SBW. Part of me doesn’t like the showpony but another part respects the whole making hay while the sun shines thing.
