HAHAHA. awesome. suffeeeeer.

if the dogs let him come back i will never have any respect for them. and my late grandpa was a huge doggies fan and he would be utterly horrified at them taking SBWs crap.
Can you imagine it though? A player who actually paid the club $750k to play for them? Does that negatively affect the salary cap?

Sonny Bill Williams is reportedly homesick and wants to return to the NRL, after being unhappy with his treatment by his new club Toulon.

Williams – who sensationally walked out on the Bulldogs this season to join French rugby union – has been put under pressure to perform by Toulon president Mourad Boughellal.

News Ltd reports that Williams – currently out of action with a leg injury – is not enjoying life in France and that his representatives have spoken to a Bulldogs official about the possibility of a return to the club.

The NRL has banned Williams from playing for another rugby league club until 2013 – the year his broken contract with the Bulldogs was set to run out.

Bulldogs CEO Todd Greenberg has heard the rumours surrounding the star player, and says Williams could only play for the Canterbury club if he is to make a return to the NRL.

If the Bulldogs want him, that is.

"I have heard the rumours and I'm not surprised," Greenberg told News.

"Sonny Bill made his choice a couple of months ago. The club has moved on since then.

"It's common knowledge he can't play in the NRL with any other club than us prior to 2013."

Meanwhile there are suggestions Toulon coach and former All Black Tana Umaga – one of the main reasons for Williams's decision to join the club – could be axed at the end of the season to be replaced by former Wallabies coach John Connolly.

He spat on the face of our jersey and all our fans, for all i care he can stay the **** away from our club, i reckon this is all bs anyways but say he did come back, he would have to do alot to earn the respect back of most bulldog fans cause if he runs out again he wont only be copping from the opposition. $BW....F OFF

Seriously though if I was the Dogs I wouldn't take him back, but I'd seriously look at him for the Warriors.

First step he could do to earn respect of Bulldogs or any league fan is by dumping his camp (Khoder,Mundine,Weidler...whoever else is involved).

Maybe he's finally realised that he can't play for the All Blacks when he's in France so he's contemplating a move to nz rugby. that would be the best bet i reckon

The Dogs should only take him back if he agrees to the following deal:

A 10 year contract which he can't get out of, and he'll be paid $40,000 a year. He will not be able to receive any third party payments.

He should have to spend one full day, by himself, with no help, cleaning up the ground after a Bulldogs home game.

I heard on BSB this morning that Brad Walter form the SMH talked to SBW last nite and he has dismissed the tumour that he is homesick, however he knew nothing of the coaching fiasco that is apparently taking place. SBW told Brad Walter that his missus is turning up in a couple of days as well...so I dont think he is coming home but, he might be homesick once Tana is given the arse!

funnily enough, given that he's one of the most talented players in the game, his mistakes/poor decisions will be forgiven very quickly - all NRL clubs would be desperate to have him

Sonny I want you to stay in France and suffer forever. I want this to be an example so that the other goldigging NRL whores can stfu and think twice about going overseas.

Lonely lol. He should be used to travelling. Isn't your desperate girlfreind good enough for you?
