Not a chance, he'll either stay in union or go back to the NRL. Super League has nothing to offer him at present as he'd earn more there and the league game internationally is dead at present so if he wants recognition he'll remain an All Black, especially if they win tomorrows final as they'll be national heroes.
No way is SBW going to Warrington

My work collegues daughter is one of the main sponsors at warrington, got told he signed last night. As he is a bit of a journey man probably fancies a shot at s/l

I'm sure that's true, he would definitely be spending his time negotiating a contract with Wire this weekend, it's not like he has a big game in the morning or anything...

I also heard he was going to the wire earlier in the week, but his source also came from a member at the halliwell jones, we'll see. if you were sonny bill and had the choice of wire or wigan, wire would come second

The bloke's been side tracked in the yawnion game for players nowhere near his capabilities so could understand him returning to League, but in Britain, cant see it unless he is on seriously silly money.
Lets face it, if Joel Tomkins is worth £400K to Yawnion on £200K/PA then Sonny Bill is worth 10 times that amount and he doesnt have to break any previous contract agreements he has signed.
IL, Let Joel go and please sign Sonny Bill.

But if you read the other thread about one Rugby Union player being "exempt" from the cap, this could be a possibility for whomever was interested

Northy was an average player and a bit of a bully boy - nothing more. He was involved in the tackle that damaged Offiah's back in a Good Friday Derby.
He also nearly took Rob Smyth's head off at Central Park with a shoulder charge. Quinnell then tried to remove Northy's head with a right hook a few minutes later and Northy disappeared off the pitch about two minutes later and didn't return...
Never liked him
You're right there. Northy stood over Smyth screaming at him after he'd done the dirty deed, even his team mates looked disgusted with him. Pity Quinnell missed with that haymaker.

Yes he did Matthew,In fact at the time I thought for one
awful minute that Smyth was dead it looked so bad.
