SBW considers walking away
July 25, 2007
The pressure continues to take its toll on Sonny Bill Williams; as injured Bulldogs teammate Willie Mason commented to the media about the strain on SBW.
Mason said “The pressure on Sonny is taking a huge toll, we fear that Sonny may walk away from Rugby League much sooner than he should – purely to escape the media attention and spotlight”
It would be sad to see Kiwi and Australian Rugby League and the NRL competition lose such an exciting and talented representative. (While there is plenty of Kiwi and Australian rivalry – I am sure both sides of the Tasman would want to keep seeing Sonny Bill Williams in action)
While it seems Sonny Bill Williams has refrained from drinking alcohol in order to prevent any mishaps, he possibly should take the advice given to most top ranking NRL celebrities – that is to take a short flight to Melbourne or Adelaide where there is little if any public NRL support.
It seems so simple, yet most NRL players are unwilling to undertake the short 50 minute flight at $200 return cash to a state where they can enjoy total freedom from the spotlight for 24 hours whenever they want. It might be advice that Sonny and his management can take on board.
Here is a short video of Sonny – gee it would be a shame to lose SBW from the NRL. (Just look at what he can do in these highlights from NRL games)
