Sonny Bill Benched in Dogs win Over Sharks
July 8, 2007
Sonny Bill Williams was in action today for the Bulldogs in their big NRL clash with the Cronulla Sharks at Shark Park.
In what was a physical contest as expected, the Dogs took plenty of time to get going – especially Sonny Bill Williams who was heavily marked by the Cronulla defence and was rushed by multiple defenders everytime he got the ball.
The Sharks were winning for 60 minutes of the match but the late finishing Dogs went on a 10 minute scoring spree with 3 unanswered tries.
Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes benched Sonny Bill Williams around the 60th minute mark, and the injection of new forwards for the Dogs was the impetus for the Dogs getting home.
To SBW’s credit he toiled hard on the fringe and one of his offloads led to a late Dogs try. Sonny Bill continues to have a season free from injury and with the Bulldogs getting home today – they are looking good for the 2007 NRL Finals.
