This is fairly informative and in my opinion fairly close to the mark.

Ken

Yes. Very close to the mark.

I'm afraid SBW will be stuck with his nickname Money Bill for a looong time.

Maybe not . Here's another side to SBW

Handshake deal honoured by SBW ( . nzherald . co . nz/sport/news/article . cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10818474" target="_blank">www . nzherald . co . nz)

The most remarkable admission during today's widely-predicted announcement in Hamilton that he would return to the NRL in Australia via a lucrative stint in Japanese club rugby was that he was honouring a "handshake agreement'' .

He's gone up in my estimation, as long as he keeps to his word in the future .

.... lucrative stint in Japanese club rugby....

By then he will probably play 5 minutes of one game then go play for France.

1286785 2012-07-09 10:23:00 I don't believe that fluff about honouring a verbal commitment for a second.

its a deflection and imo its weak.

1286786 2012-07-09 10:26:00 heard on the radio that he donated $100k proceeds from his boxing to the cc earthquake fund. Impressive to donate the whole purse and also thats a serious wad of cash. All the feedback on the radio was totally positive regarding him, you know last away from crowd meets etc.

Seems like a nice bloke to me who is looking after himself and is being hated on by people because he was chosen to play for his country by the RWC winning coaching team.

1286787 2012-07-09 12:33:00 PR is part of the job, he gets paid big bucks for it. His name is on sponsorships etc so he has to be public good guy.... I dont think people hate him, just dislike his lack of loyalty, a team won the world cup, Sbw hardly won it himself. Far from it. rob_on_guitar (4196)
1286788 2012-07-09 21:45:00 Some wags have started calling him Sushi Bill Williams

1286790 2012-07-10 03:25:00 This (www.nzherald.co.nz) says it all, with added sarcasm to boot. :D

Kenj? ;)

1286791 2012-07-10 04:35:00 Which bit don't you understand??

1. That the all blacks is a team made up of non nz ers? Whether by birth or heritage. Who's to say I haven't been over here longer than some of your players?
2. That sbw is a quality player and quite clearly contributed significantly to nz winning the rwc.
3. Its a lost opportunity in many ways that he will no longer play for you
Would this be the same SBW who barely payed in the whole tournament, and when he came on in the semifinal was yellow carded almost instantly? (www.dailymail.co.uk)
