Who's gives a f**k about a Cook Islander who plays union and league for NZ.
Cook Islander :?
Should the NRL do what ever it takes to keep him in the game. surly we finally have the $$$ to keep player like SBW in the game now :crazy:.
The people bagging him are bitter tossers.
Appreciate the opportunity to watch a once in a generation player.
the only reason he went to rugby was the dogs wouldnt upgrade his 400k :lol: he went to rugby and instantly got 2 million for 2 years in fance. He already won a world cup in rugby. With 1billion tv deal this the chance for the nrl to offer a player like SBW a deal he cant refuseHe's a guy who's making the most of his athletic ability in various sports - good luck to him.
No offer will stop him returning to rugby union. Obviously he wants to play in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, so it's just delaying the inevitable whether this year or next year is his last ever in the NRL.
Sure the Roosters would love to have him in their team next year for his playing skills & what he brings to the club via marketing, but what sacrifices would they have to make for only one more year ? ( when younger players might leave for better opportunities elsewhere )

Hmm I think the NRL should give all the clubs a LOT MORE money. Way more of that 1 billion per year. And then raise the salary cap by a lot. And then the clubs could pay a guy like SBW what he's really worth.
SBW should go to the states and trial in the NFL. He's that sort of natural talent I bet he'd pick it up immediately and star.
