An unknown rugby player could be heading to a stadium near you. Club management yesterday indicated it was more than interested in Australian rugby player Sonny Bill Williams.

Head coach Bill Parcells today stated he was intersted in the possibility of Williams coming to the NFL saying he had the potential to be an outstanding wide reciever.

" I saw this guy play in the UK and let's just say he's got raw talent you rarely see. He's just an athlete."

Standing at 191 cm and weighing in at 110 kg, Williams could more than hold his own in this competition. Parcells also said the signing could also create massive interest.

" All I can say is he just has it, somthing special".

Williams would be the first NZ born NFL player if the signing was completed.

Owner Jerry Jones says finances would not be a problem, saying "he would love to see this guy in the blue and white colours".

One things for sure, it could possibly be one of the biggest cross-code coups in the history sport.

holy sh**. surely just to get media attention?

It would certainly give him something to think about. Although I think league boys would get bored with the NFL as there isn't enough non stop action for them as there is league.

If that is true,i hate to say it,but money talks!

 

[Special K]

He'd be a flop as a WR. RB maybe...

If your manager is not getting the extra media coverage, drag up an NFL team.

My tip SBW to re-sign with the Dogs within a week. :lol:

they'd camp him outside maccas in big D for 2 months and turn him into a linebacker.

Thats my point.


If the headlines said "Houston Texans Looking To Sign Williams" no one would care.

But its the Dallas Cowboys so everything thinks glamour club and the best of the best...

Im a Dallas fan and let me tell you, they need to look for a Quaterback thats under 50 years of age before they look at converting a League player! :lol:

i heard the kiwi cricket team want to give him a run.
they recon he'll average 100 runs a game, bowl 170 kph with spin.

The link you gave is to the home page & nothing is there about SBW.

Thread will be locked until a proper link is sent to me by PM.
