This is just so bizzarre...
Untill three months ago, Sonny Bill was my favourite player in the league.
Seemed like a good traditional nz kid, nice and humble, plus he had amazing talant and a lot of ticker.
What has happened?
Surely he is not so weak of character he could be diluded by a manager and Mundine.
I can understand him going 'every other superstar athlete is getting paid alot more than me. I deserve more.'
He probably does when you look at cricketers, union players, afl players etc.
But at the same time, he is still getting alot. Heaps in fact.
Surely the money he may make is not worth the harm that has been done to his honor and reputation.
He could have waited to his contract was up... he would have got sh*tload where ever he went. I could understand him wanting to do that considering the money that would be on offer.
But now, he has tranished his image beyond repair and soiled the name of his family.
He is a grub.
What is even more bizzare is that he has left after being named in the team, after doing a promotion to help little kids who love league. He has deserted them now too., they won't even be able to even see him play.
There is no way he will be allowed to play for anyone else other than the dogs in the next four years. Situations like this have happened before and unless the dogs get compassionate or the french RU offers the dogs millions in compensation. It cannot happen. The dogs have the law on their side.
The only logical option is that he will be back in the country tomorrow and is simply going over there to talk up some deals with french clubs in a bid to see what his option are and put pressure on the dogs to release him.
Even so. If he does comeback tomorrow or the next day. He is still a grub and i hope he gets booed next game by all supporters. If i could get to the game i would.
