Can't wait til he comes back to league, shame he wasted 5 years being away from it.

I reckon he won't even make the bench for next weekend's final with that silly play.

There was, theoretically, time left for Australia to score twice (and yes, they probably wouldn't have) and losing a player for that is a sin. Henry won't be happy.

I thought exactly the same thing when it happened. Will cost him his spot in the final. Wonder if he will hang around for another 4 years to fulfill his 'dream'?

TBH I dont think he was actually going for that shoulder charge. It just looked like he got the timing for his tackle wrong

Agree that he is a wasted talent in Union though. His best assets (offload, front on defence) are rarely required, especially when you spend 70% of games sitting on your arse on the bench

Given NZ has all but won the WC, we will probably see SBW back in league soon enough.

well to be honest... i would rather have seen him on the field at Newcastle than on the bench in Auckland.

The Kiwis needed him far more than the All Blacks did...

Isn't he banned from the NRL until his contract with the bulldogs was to expire? Has that expired now?

Wouldn't mind him at Melbourne as a replacement for Blair.

Storm will need to do some creative book keeping again to get SBW, he'll send them well over the cap.

Playing for the best coach in the NRL and the greatest rugby league team of all time should be enough compensation.

Nah I don't think Wayne would want him TBH.
I agree. Wayne is smarter than your average bear and doesn't need the burden SBW making headlines every week. Besdides, the Knights have a handy team as it is and they don't NEED SBW like some other clubs do...

I think he'll end up back in French RU. They love him over there and could easily get 1M Euros/Season.
