It's not a suprise, I tried to tell all the Kiwis at the Chiefs game that he wasn't going to be around much longer but they were too busy screaming Sonny Bill, Sonny Bill. He will put his RWC medal at the back of his undies drawer and head off to the NRL via Japan

If he has the talent to do it then good on him

Poor effort to skip out on the Rugby Championship though.Originally Posted by TOCC
sure has the talent, but no loyalty. has he played for the same team two years running? not sure what he did in europe.
didn't read that part..
still from a fan perspective, its not as though he is the best player in the all blacks, its even debatable whether he is even the best inside centre for the all blacks.
Cause it isnt there. The AB's and Chiefs officials praised both SBW and his management and hoped he'd return to NZ Rugby sometime. If he was about money he'd have taken the $6 million and stayed at Toulon 2 years back. The bloke is a star. Good luck to him.

2nd paragraph.
Sonny bill is a nothin but a money hungry mercenary who wouldn't have any concept of the meaning of word's such as loyalty or honour.Listening to the commentators fawn over him every time he touches the ball is quite sickening ,he ain't that special and it's not like he invented the art of passing a rugby ball.Last friday when the crusaders took to the chiefs like a pack of pig dogs SBW was completely unsighted save for admittedly a fairly nice try but for anyone who watched the game what about the very end of the game when the gumboot cut back inside wth a 4 on 2 overlap 10 metres out .That just about nicely summed up what SBW is all about.
Sorry mate but his contracts are finished. He's not skipping out on anybody - this time. He's a Leagey and he's going back. All this moaning about lack of loyalty is sour grapes bullshit in the professional era. What loyalty snould an Aukland/Sydney raised Mungo have for the Chiefs, the 'Saders or the ABs for that matter?

loyalty is a word you write on toilet paper and you know what happens to that.
I believe he's exercising an exit clause so he is skipping out on it, legally or not. No issues with a league player going to league.
Edit: At least I thought I read that - can't find it now so maybe not.

Doesn't mean he isn't an idiot...
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
$1.7 million, 12 games in your off season. No person in their right mind would turn that down. As well as being able to continue his boxing was always moving back to league to play at the world cup for the kiwis
Steve Tew put it that SBW has a "right" in his contract to finish at the conclusion of Supe Rugby season. Again; good luck to him. Wish the Chooks had him tonight.@ $2.50
