SONNY BILL WILLIAMS OUTRAGE
07.27.08 (6:20 pm) [edit]
Finally the NRL is taking an extremely tough stand on players that breach their contracts. Sonny Bill Williams, as I mentioned in an earlier post today, has walked out on the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs to play rugby in France on a 2 year $3 million dollar contract.
The NRL is threatening to ban Williams for life if he takes up the Rugby Union contract in France and have also appealed to the Rugby Union authorities in France to not allow Williams to play union until such time as his current Rugby League contract runs its normal course.
Understandably his Canterbury team mates are in shock and extremely disappointed in Williams. They believe he has let them all down, especially since he left without any warning.
