Cronk is a better player!!

No , but there's a salary cap.

The best RU sides in the world according to the IRB are NZ, 'stralia, South Africa, France and England....SBW has not "performed" whilst playing against the teams ranked 2-5......he is a one trick pony who cost his S15 team a win at the weekend....his defence is suspect and he has no tactical kicking game to speak of.....when it came to the RWC Final, the "show pony" was left in the stable....he is a liability and this years championship would have shown it.

RU legends, like RL legends are the guys who do it on any pitch, for any club/country, against anyone every week over a lengthy period of time.....SBW doesn't stay anywhere long enough for that to happen.

...unlike the abuse that was reserved for 2 youngsters who walked away from RL at the end of their contracts to play another code in Australia, I can't believe anyone, especially RL fans who bang on about a century of dirty tricks by Union and vichy governments are prepared to forget and forgive this w^nker......he walked out on his team and his code mid contract and he did it for 1 reason.......and testing himself in Union wasn't it!

Slanted as usual but you're not far off. I think the backlash will be far more than Williams and his vile management ever expected. I personally have no respect for him or the people he listens to and it sickens me how people constantly bend over for him.

Not often I wouldn't mind seeing career ending injuries on a player but for $BW I can make an exception. The guys a merkin of the highest order.

They'll be in SL next season.

If Roosters sign him for any length of time it will become a nightmare, boxing 'fights' and, off season internationals and contracts like like japan ru one will see him burnt out in 3 season.

But the revenue and media attention will be massive.

Aye, its going to be a circus ...I know Im stating the obvious, but it should help raise the Roosters Avg. attendance.

The Roosters are a strange bunch. When I lived in Rose Bay everyone I met was a fan, and I mean everyone. Yet virtually no one actually went to watch them. My landlady's son used to knock about in an Easts vest but would ask me for their results.

Not just Rooster's fan's.

I tried to talk a mate into buying a sfs/Leichhardt season pass for West Tigers but he wouldn't because of the angle of the sun!

The year we won the premiership en all.

Everyone came out of the woodwork for the finals series. Funny how they weren't Season Ticket Holders.
