Well looks like they could sway him back to league!! $9m contract!

how old is he now?

How many months till they go bankrupt with contracts like that?

As many as he wants. Issue is that how much of an impact will he make? Argyle knows him, as do the 500 or so Toronto Season Ticket holders, but the rest of north America won't give a to55.

Anyone remember that bloke who went to play for the 49's a while back.......think he may have been an EEL?

I'm looking forward to the show pony visiting Featherstone in the 2nd year of his 3 year deal

SBW is the ultimate professional.

Any idiots saying otherwise have never played rugby above under 9 level.

Sonny Bill Wiliams is now 34.

Steven Menzies played until he was almost 40 for the Catalans, and he was still a star of Super League at that time.

SBW is an absolute class player in both codes and not too many have achieved that accolade in recent years.
It would be a major coup for Toronto to have him on their books and any RL fan that wouldn't want to see the guy play, frankly, isn't a RL fan.

However, the contract that is being quoted is eye watering and way over the odds for any player but, apart from Toronto having to find his wages every month, this is win/win.

As for the talk of Toronto playing Fev





It doesn't look like they will be scrapping to avoid the wooden spoon but, their cap spend will make interesting reading - maybe the cap doesn't apply over there

Don`t you mean Sonny William Williams Jean?

If Toronto have got that money to spend, it would be wasted on SBW imho, yes he is a huge name but he is now in decline and as someone has already stated they could pick up 3 or 4 top Aussies for that money that could make a real difference to there team.

Throwing their money away, it’s like buying a Ferrari with 100,000 miles on the clock.

If they are going to spend big money then why not spend it sensibly. They could use that 9million and buy 3 top players to form the core of their team in Superleague.

That could be 3 or 4 top players sign over 3 years.

You could buy the top players in the NRL and SL for that, I’m thinking Roger Tuiavasa-Sheck at 1, Shaun Johnson at 6, Mitchel Pierce at 7 and Daryl Clarke at 9 and still have change.
