I'm sure anything about SBWs contract that is 'under the table' or more than the norm will be out in the media pretty damn quick if true...there's other talk around of the likes of perhaps Rugby Sevens opportunities (ie Medal to dangle in front of camp Mudine for Kudos), pretty much guarantees of AB position unless he's appallingly bad, third party deals set up and the like to to make the pay drop 'not so bad'...And so on.
Nothing proven, nothing official...and there's going to be this speculation for months.
What does it matter really? If his money comes from third party deals that's their business. That doesn't bother me. This whole thing leaves me a bit cynical though. I know sport nowadays is all about the dollars, all about win at all costs even if your soul is sold...but this just emphasises it to the point of being disturbing.
Will I be cheering if he plays a blinder in the WC and helps bring the WC here? I honestly don't know. There will ALWAYS be in the back of my mind the immature morally bankrupt SBW that accused the Doggies of racism, that dissed the game but pops on the Footy show for a fee when it suits him, the idea of the money hungry opportunist group of so and sos he hangs with, and the issue once he's ticked the box on his list of making the ABs he'll be off again.
It's a free market and he can do what he wants of course providing he stops running out on teams and contracts, but the mercanary style leaves me cold
