SBW to join Counties-Manukau?

I hope so to be honest. Regardless of what you think about his leaving the Bulldogs, it's impossible to deny he has that X-factor that makes people want to watch him play footy.

I wonder if he'll be up to it though...

Could have been a legend in league circles, is yet to show that he is anything but an average rugby player.


One of the great professional sporting shames imo.

I knew ol' Rattue would have something to say about this: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10629172

Besides his tiresome cheap shots, I think he has a point though

Of course he does, another immaculate article by the genuis Rattue

Yup

There's still time though. Frank Bunce didn't make the ABs until he was 27...

Wait. Tana is going to PLAY for CM? Mad! How old is he now? 40?

"and certainly a marketing dream for attracting female fans" lol

Frank Bunce did not make ABs till he was 30.

As for wonder boy, I enjoyed watching him play league more than him play union. He looks out of place in union, imo.

lol @ Warriors declaring interest in SBW:

I have to be honest -- I'd welcome him with opened arms!

So yeah dount the Warriors will pay the Dogs 1mill to get SBW ...

heh, would be great marketing for the Warriors :>

Agree that it's very, very unlikely to happen though

Maybe Anthony Mundine could cover the $1m
