    I'll believe it when I see it. Could just as easily be misinfo fed by his management to get better offers out of league or the Frogs.<br><br>
    Would be nice to see him actually commit to the abs for a decent length of time. But it would be out of character for him to do so.

    <p>Great to see one of the best players in the world return to NZ Rugby, especially when there was a lot of coin on offer to go elsewhere.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>There is an element of the circus around SBW, but he's also proven he's a fantastic player who can be a team man too. He was one of the AB's most consistent performers in the RWC and was player of the game in the opener against Argentina.</p>

    He is currently committed to the ABs as it is. The AB Sevens. <br><br>
    BTW Titch is singing his praises for the professionalism, leadership and dedication he has brought in to the squad.

    <p>Oh FFS. Please say there is not going to be another will he won't he signing wankfest about Sonny Bill.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>We've just got a whole new bunch of AB's to get amped about.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>As for the whole 'professional boxing' thing, gross. He's not a boxer's arse. Joe Parker is a boxer, and even the thought of SBW getting coverage and holding up some bullshit belt after fighting a decrepit tub of lard is revolting.</p>

    You truly are the ultimate fanboi. My post wasn't questioning his professionalism, his work ethic or his awesome 6 pack. I wrote:<br><br>
    "It would nice to see him actually commit to the abs for a decent length of time". <br><br><br>
    So again, I was not disputing that SBW is an awesome specimen of a man and loved by all who are fortunate enough to be in his presence. I was simply saying that it would be nice if he decided to stick around for a bit. Btw, 7s is not the abs and that's all about the Olympics nothing more.<br><br>
    Now was that ok or should I have also written something about how he must also have a massive cock?

    <p>Yeah that bloody Sonny Bill. He goes to the <em>one</em> organisation in NZ that takes no shit from it's members and "employees" (the NZRU) and speaks to the bloke that decides who get to be the most revered sportsman in NZ (Shag) and says:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>"Can I do this and this and this?"</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>And they all say "yeah sure"</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>But he's still a fluffybunny eh?</p>

    RS has tried his best. <br><br>
    The usual sly digs and backhanded compliments trying to entice an argument are certainly getting less. <br><br>
    Fact is that SBW is committed to NZ Rugby and, with the cooperation of his XVs coaches is playing sevens. On one hand many are complaining that the NZRU haven't done enough to get the best players to Titch but if it's SBW then that is just glory seeking. <br><br>
    Mokey, your post seems rather cranky for you, but it is journalists trying to make a story that has made this " will he...won't he?" situation. He is just doing normal job decision making. As for the boxing side, if it is something that challenges him and stops him going stale then so what. I don't think anyone equates the level he fights at with the level JP does. Boxing hands out belts and titles for everything it can think of. <br><br>
    If I sound like a fanboy for pointing out how silly people get trying to foist celebrity status on someone then complains about it, so be it.

    <p>While it will get plenty of criticism ,that is a given,  it will sell well as a pay per view event and both footballers ( not boxers , context ) will line their pockets </p>

    Wtf? All I wrote was that Id like to see him commit to the abs for a decent length of time but it would be out of character for him to do so.<br><br>
    What part of that is incorrect or is an attempt to start an argument.<br><br>
    You seem to think that any comment that doesn't sing his praises is an insult of your precious. Take a cold shower ffs.<br><br>
    This goes beyond fan boism. You appear to be genuinely in love with this guy.

    <p>You are just bringing up an irrelevant point to troll. This thread has absolutely nothing to do with religion.</p>
    <p>You are just getting into your same old habits of trying so hard to be a shit stirrer but just coming across as a twat.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>If you want to talk about religion start a new thread in off topic.</p>
