Out of interest, who else have they got as confirmed for next season to back up this top 4 claim

Spat my coffee out when I read that.....
He is an unknown star from an unknown sport in a country that has Rugby as a niche sport and where RL is pretty much 100% reliant on the whim of an Australian.
Good luck to him and the wolfpack, but SBW signing for Toronto will make the smallest of ripples in the media, most of that will be in the Rugby League Media, which is preaching to the choir.
Toronto, we are told, have no problem putting bums on seats, so I fail to see what benefit there is n spending the salaries of a half dozen good players on a 34yr old one trick pony.

SBW is a squad player for the All Blacks, not a star and his selection was not applauded over here. As it turned out, he was as much use as a chocolate t-spoon. He has an "off-load" and,,,er,,,,,,nope, that's it!

What is everyone's problem?

SBW is the biggest name across both codes of rugby. Still tearing it up at the highest level of Union for the all blacks. He would be an incredible acquisition both as a player and from a commercial perspective for Toronto.

Silly little flatcappers - probably from Yorkshire - having a good owd moan.

Hope they pull it off. He would be the biggest name in Super League for sure. Are we not due to renegotiate a TV deal soon?

Jealousy. Nothing more, nothing less. They only wish their small town clubs could attract such a name.

Rubbish.
SBW is absolute class and you know it.
The only issues here are whether he would go to Toronto, rather than stay in the NRL and the absolute eye watering contract that he's supposed to have been offered.
IF and it's a huge if, Toronto could secure his signature, it would be a massive boost to them and a statement of intent for their SL aspirations.

On the subject of RU, I think that you will find that the Kiwi coach believes that he is most effective coming on later in the game, after 50/60 mins, when he can be used to create space, for either himself or his team mates to score, it's called tactics.

Lol.

If you believe no nrl sides want SBW I have a bridge to sell you.

Let's see where he ends up then, shall we
If SBW is the player that you describe, he wouldn't get a deal in either the NRS, SL or Union and would be put out to grass.
There will be offers from all 3 of these and as I said previously, IF Toronto have offered the HUGE contract that is rumoured and he still ends up somewhere else, it would suggest that he is indeed still in demand.
In League, the guy has it all, power, strength, agility, superb handling skills and the heart of a lion and tbf, that skillset, although great in Union, is much better suited to RL and I really do hope that he ends up in SL (and not back in Union or The NRL).

According to the Frenchman he's adamant it's a two year deal, that being the case that would put him on $90.000 a week, more stupid than risky.

I am surprised that nobody on here has realised that Sonny Bill Williams, if he signs a two year contract, will be eligible to play for New Zealand in the 2021 Rugby League World Cup.

That eventuality would surely boost public and media attention to rugby league's pinnacle event.
