SBW.....get him out!!!

I welcomed SBW back to the game and gave him the benefit of a doubt on so many levels. But, I've heard that he is kinda boycotting the test match because of that medication scandal last year. To me, that is just a bullshit excuse. He would not have wanted to play this test match anyway.

All SBW thinks about is what the game can give him. He really should have made the effort to play, not go on holidays.

He is struggling a bit this year.

He doesn't have to play rep footy. Nobody does. I hate him as much as anyone but he has every right to do what he is doing.

Yeah I thought it didn't really make sense. NZRL cleared him of any wrong doing and they weren't the ones who accused him?

To me it sounds like the equivalent of saying he's boycotting the Roosters because Sydney Confidential had that thing about him and Falzon.

Reading twitter rumours I see.

Wouldn't it be more likely that SBW and NZRL mutually agreed he should not be selected given he is leaving for rugby at the end of the year?

Rep footy used to be taken off the table for code jumpers in Australia too until QLD decided Hunt was too good to leave out

Yep.

It's a lot of money now for rep matches. No way should it go to a bloke who's not going to stick around and help out the national team.

Ridiculous, sure the NZ coach has come out and said this because he wants to start preparing for the next World Cup but Obviously Rothfield is on the ball here.

I think a minimum 2 week jail sentence so he can learn just how good he's got it.

yes they do have to play it

theres a rule if you dont play the rep game you have to miss a club game

it never gets enforced

hes a very selfish person

sooner he leaves the game the better.

doesnt look interested anymore, biding his time till he goes back to union.

despite what channel nine think he wont be missed.

silly merkin cost tohu harris his WC spot and now doesnt want to play for nz anymore???

Williams is full of shit, grasping at straws when he heard Kearney wasn't going to select him in the first place . . . just like any sheilah he wants the last word

What the hell are you talking about? Lyon would be banned all the time if that was the case.

He's being an idiot about it though. Why not just say sorry don't want to. Not make this bullshit excuse about it!

The Anzac Test is the biggest waste of time going around. I thought the kiwis had a cry and refused to play this match anyway because they always get towelled up.

I'd say it more to do with spin doctoring.Every sporting organisation has it especially the Olympics and any world cup event.

It's used as a tool to draw valuable attention to whatever event is scheduled.

Code hoppers are becoming a little bit boring. Our code is thriving without them.
The sooner Sonny Bill buzzes off back to NZ and his beloved rugby the better.

We need to be respecting our internationals, and none come higher regarded than the Anzac test.
Same as NSW needs to start respecting the city/country match-up.
Dont let the music die. Stop killing the f**kin music.

They always get towelled up because it's Battlestar Gallactica v The Empire . . . why anyone would take a game seriously that has one team drawn by straws against another etched in stone is f**king beyond me

lyon is retired from rep stuff

i know youve only been following league for 5 minutes but there was a time when clubs didnt want their players in orign so they brought in the rule

SBW has decided not to be available for this test. thats not allowed.

they shouldve picked tohu harris for the world cup.
