He was singlehandedly expected to keep a club like the dogs who are drenched in history up to the standard that they always were for not really the wage that shouldve been! especially considering Mason walked out in that preseason which freed up cap.
ooo this is good, almost like he did it to the warriors already! (why are you so wound up skinz?) mate I made massive errors in my youth he was 22 with peeps telling him he was worth so much more with less pressure.
Who hasnt kicked the sh*ts with an employer when they completly spend you out?

I think it's the way SBW left the code, Tuquiri and Sailor are different stories in that respect.
Lote is no different, he's back.
What did Tahu do wrong? He negotiated commercially viable contracts for himself. He hasn't broken any contracts.So is Tahu.
Again, to highlight the obvious, none burned the midnight embers by doing the dirty on their team mates mid season and bailing off to France to earn more money.Both welcomed back from the 'dark side' with open arms, I might add.
A professional honours his commitments and fights through the hard times. You're confusing professional with the adjective scum.What SBW did, wasnt wrong. He is a professional.
Isn't he a grown man?How he did it is questionable, I put that down to bad advice.
Why should we forgive and forget? The bloke still figures what he did was right.So, come on, lets forgive and forget, lifes too short (and all that jazz)...
I wouldn't know as I wouldn't watch them.SBW would look groovy in a Warriors jersey.

So the SBW fans are happy with the little video he sent back from France to play on the Footy Show? Calling the Club Racist, knocking the game and code, suggesting he was like cattle, a slave, a mere 'bus driver?'
FFS. There's youth silliness, and then there's Primadonna antics of a person who starts believing all the hype about how great they are. SBW is in the latter. He went from the nice humble fellow we saw on 60 minutes (or 20/20, can never remember which), to some Mundine clone tosser talking about himself in third person.
You really can't say he 'did nothing wrong, but the way he went about it was.' That's a contradiction on the grounds the two are interlinked. To suggest he did what he did as he's a 'Professional' had coffee coming out of my nose. He did not leave the club like Mason etc: He was unhappy with his lot, thanks to some morons whispering in his ear and brainwashing him- But then went back into talks and RE-SIGNED. That's the big thing here. He was unhappy-but re-signed his contract, for a bigger paypacket, and a longer time. A big risk by the Dogs considering his injury history.
He was pledging alligence to his club right up to the day he left. The only indication he was, was a text to a fellow player he didn't need a ride to training!
He left his car, supplied by his club, back in the dealers yard overnight with the keys still in it. He hid in airport toilets on the way to France, and in toilets once he got there. Then the video sent back to play...basically his whinge list on all who had 'feckked him off.'
Professional my arse.
I won't even go into the leaving on World Cup year, and the coach, players, fans and country he let down there.
But we can go into the fact the Dogs have gone from strength to strength without him, and the Kiwis won the WC. ;-)
So, IMO, with his attitude, injury history, and huge amount of money it would cost to get him=Liability to avoid at all costs. I can't believe this topic is even going, and I can't believe the Warriors are even considering him.
Of course, no one even knows if SBW is interested. I said before and I'll say again- If he sticks with his Rugby dream-What he wanted-I would have more repect for the guy.
A bit grubby from the sqeaky clean bulldogs wanting a cool million because of "huge commercial benefits" the Warriors would recieve.
3 things you should never argue about money, politics and religion always ends ugly.
And the Dogs and Sonny Bill were arguing about money.
If the dogs believe the warriors would make huge amount with his now extremely damaged image then you could imagine what would they (dogs) would have been expecting out of him with the popular "I wanna be SBW" sonny image.
I dont like being used, I get out of that situation as quick as possible cut my losses.
He must of been pretty low to get to the state he was in, crsis meetings then the downfall of changing managers then walking out and not telling anyone.
okay then... so how many 'die hard' fans here will turn there backs on the club if they sign SBW??
one player doesnt make or break a club...why be so snotty to not support your local team because of one player.
dr crane you are a tosser
