This is making front page news , publicity you can't buy.

Under international rules are shoulder barges banned ??

If not , we could see some SBW bellringers !!!!

Pretty sure they were banned around the same time the ARLC banned them. Maybe even before.

Bloke didn't even tally in the Dally M's...... Not in the top 20 players of the NRL that would suggest....

Then using your logic, Luke Walsh is amongst the top 10 players in the NRL then :crazy:. That'll do me. :lol:

If for some reason SBW couldn't play or was declared ineligible it would be a gamble to go in with reduced squad.

They have up to the day before the tournament to bring in players. If SBW still didn't want to play by then they could just bring in Harris. Wales and Scotland both named 23-man squads and have both recently brought in players.

It is good for the WC and obviously SBW has to be there if he wants but the massive exposure for the WC doesnt excuse the fact it is a dick move on SBWs part.

Surprised by this turnaround, thought the one NRL season would be his lot in League. Nonetheless, I believe that this is SBW acting of his own accord and temporarily putting the prearranged 'legacy creating script' on hold for time being. Of course he may just be able to help the Kiwi's get over the line (I'm doubtful of that) but first and foremost he wants to help his mates (bros) and whether his legacy takes a hit or is enhanced, quite frankly, I reckon that's immaterial to him.

SBW is decisive and formidable on the field but indecisive and pliable off of it. It is a shame what has transpired but I do believe that his heart is in the right place and has won out, belatedly, over the usual influences that befall him.

Fox Sport reporting that he and khoder were caught in a meeting with the NZRU.

Speculation he's just done the deal to return to RU

Maybe the RLWC is his swan song.

Pretty bad if it's true... At least Harris is commited to the game long term.

 

[Son of Minto]

Khoder and the NZRU boss (?) seen exchanging contracts. He's goooooooone.

SBW makes the Kiwis favourites IMO.

So whilst it's disappointing what happened to Tohu, you can't say no to the world's best player. The great one who came, saw and kicked ass. The Messiah who dominated the GF when it was 50/50 and there to be won.

lol behave lad....

 

[typicalfan]

Sonny Bill world's best player lol. Hyperbole at it's best

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

If he's signed to Union he should be removed from the squad IMO. But that won't happen.

lol behave lad....

I dont think we are favourites but we are a close 2nd.

SBW is the last piece of that puzzle that nudges us past your mob at home...

Our only weakness IMO is our centres... But I'm pretty happy everywhere TBH.

Jeremy Smith is a bigger loss than SBW is a gain

Fair assessment.

 

[roughyedspud]

a close 2nd....yeah....a close 2nd to us!

He's a massive loss... But I think we can actually replace him easier than we could SBW.

You really suck at trolling.

 

[Brutus]

I wonder the real reason why J.Smith has withdrawn.

 

[shiznit]

As exciting as SBW is... The biggest thing I'm looking forward to from the kiwis is watching Shaun Johnson and Kieran Foran develop as a halves pairing.

They looked really promoting in the Anzac test... This is going to be an extended chance to see two of the best young halves in the NRL go together.
