Sonny Bill Williams shocks league world
July 27, 2008
Canterbury player Sonny Bill Williams has reportedly walked out in year one of a five year contract to pursue a potential $3million 2 year deal to play in French rugby union.
He headed overseas without even letting his teammates know his was leaving the club. Canterbury players, management and fans are not impressed with the actions of Williams.
The NRL is also against the move and say that if Williams plays rugby he will be banned for life from playing in the Australian league competition.
On top of the threat to ban Williams from the NRL they are hoping the the rugby union authorities won’t register the renegade bulldog. If this happens he could see himself out of the game altogether.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
