And still the NRL will favour the likes of SBW

A nice read here...

Great intro to the article:
NO disrespect to my infinitely more experienced and charismatic News Corp colleague Phil “Buzz” Rothfield, but there’s a glaring error in his excellent exclusive today about Sonny Bill Williams boycotting the Anzac Test.
Rothfield claims the absence of Williams will mean less bums on seats. He’s wrong. It’ll just mean one less bum on the field.

But what's salient is:
Sport is a mercenary game these days, we all know that. But look at Glenn Stewart this week. He didn’t so much walk from Manly as was prised away with a crowbar. He left not because he wanted to, but because in the end, he had to.
That’ll never happen to Sonny Bill Williams, a decent, polite guy who just happens to treat clubs as stepping stones to wherever it is he’s headed. That’s a perfectly fine way to get through the world, but you can’t expect to be popular at the same time.
