LOL @ porkyf**k

Sonny Bill got a bigger cheer in the GF for standing up from the bench and doing a couple of stretches than Fittler did when he finished his speech

So it seems you havent watched Brad Fittler on his debut in 1989 for Panthers aganist the Magpies?

Brad Fittler made the SOO when he was 18 and he is the only player which i believe is the youngest to play SOO.

So there ya go benny, there was a better a player than sonny "sh*t" williams as an 18yo

sorry, there is a player by the name of Ben Ikin who is THE youngest to play origin in history.
Porcupine head you have N>F>I when it comes to league with the topic of this thread. SBW test match vs the Aussies on saturday further proves you are a rooster tooser.

Porkypine head = Wanker
Sonny Bil Williams = awesome

Why do some of you idiots keep mentioning the sonny bill tackle on flannery, flannery with his busted nut got up as though nothing happened.
Are you guys saying that gavin lester is as good a tackler as SBW because the player he hit couldnt get up?

Yes he is an awesome talent, yes he has a terrific future but to compare him to Fittler,Johns,Beetson,Fulton,gasnier,lewis and co who performed at the same high standard for 10-15 yrs straight is WAYYYYY to premature.
Maybe one day but not yet.

As a kiwi Sonny Bill is the best thing to happen to RL in NZ.

Some might think the Hype surrounding the kid is bad and some of the media should pipe down, but I disagree.

I'm a union fan through and through as are most kiwis, but I love my league also, and if its to grow as a sport in NZ to greater heights, a big name player like Sonny Bill could have the same sort of impact that one Jonah Lomu did on the NZ public.

Lets hope he is the name which makes Rugby League bigger on the international stage, and bigger in NZ!

On the comments of him being over rated, It's obvious to everyone the talent is there, but let's not forget consistecy is what makes chamipons.

This time last year Clinton Toopi would have just about been the best player in the world, how was his form in this years NRL? not even a shadow of his form last year.

I ope SB improves from here on in, if he does he WILL be the greatest to have ever played, but labelling him that already is over the top!

this is a funny post, i laughed when i read the opening post by penis head. I dont need to reply to his crap cos everyone else has done it already. SBW is already special and I hope he goes on to realise his full potential cos I have no doubts he can improve markedly

Theres a lot of similarity in SBW with Bryan Fletchers play,id say Sonny has it he will be a great player he should be the hottest property on the market when he is up for grabs,depends on -overkill what he becomes he will either handle it or wont,if you noticed they didnt push him in the GF he played it safe couldve been dangerous for the dogs if they tried to get the most out of the young guy in a GF couldve destroyed his career

]By the way Porkypine you must be correct. I mean all the great footy legends who say he is a great player MUST be wrong and YOU as a simple average person are right. The man of the match award must be a farce because Sonny Bill got it yesterday... :roll:

He's not a great player - YET.

He is a super talent, but has a lot to prove, and with luck with injuries etc, he will almost certainly prove it, and hopefully go down as an all-time great, and perhaps the greatest Kiwi player ever.

But he's 18 - let's just let him play and learn the game - at this stage he's only started 1 (I think ) first grade game, probably hasn't settled on his best position etc etc etc...

But yeah, the original poster is a moron - the kid is a special talent
