A little bending of the cap rules by claiming him as a union convert and not a third marquee signing?
Very slippery Toronto, very slippery.

A nice little promo.

I hope that the Toronto Wolfpack can find a bigger stadium than Lamport for their home games next year. Sonny Bill Williams may well become a cult hero in Toronto and attract huge crowds to the games.

Not possible, he's played RL before.

He would qualify as a returning RL player under SC rules surely ?

Eh. The returning talent allowance has been in the cap for years. I believe Warrington used it this season for Luther Burrell.

nope he's new talent, we used that ( i think )on charnley though

Ah that’ll be the one, I thought they’d used it but couldn’t remember on who!

It’s a reasonable allowance to try and get players back from Union

SBW will be on sky sports news tonight from 5pm

Sky Sports news is unavailable in Carcassonne. Do you know what was said and did Super League get good publicity out of it?

If a new team were joining the nrl and signing sbw and the other names being mentioned, it would have every rl fan excited.
It must be an English thing that people are finding negatives in this.

Rugby league forever staying insular where nothing outside the M62 matters.

Just watched on catch up

Good interview, just explaining how the deal came around. SBW came across really well. Real humble guy. Shame the interview Jim Whyte didn't do his research and realise SBW played rugby league before he became an All Black star.

Oh and Brian McDermott has allowed himself to believe them ridiculous numbers that world rugby put out when talking about viewers of rugby union.
