Sonny Bill would definitely add something to any side. He is one player i'd love to have at the Eels but unfortunately there's no way he would play for them.
I think if it was about the money then Wigan would have him no worries (i think the Bulldogs have had way too much trouble to go over the salary cap again). However, i feel he still has a lot to accomplish in the NRL, though he was looking into union before they turned him down. I guess time will tell.

By the way, by Mozza are you referring to Adrian Morley?

Vaealikis Girl, watch his space, after Friday night unless he improves 300% over the next month you can have him back before Good Friday. :doz:

Sonny Bill Williams, is a very able replacement for Faz. I've been chatting to a few fellow pie eaters and although we love Andy and what he's given us if the money is on the table lets take it. SBW would be graat in a new look pack of Adrian Morley, Terry Newton, Jerry Seu Seu, Gareth Hock Sean O' Loughlin and Sonny Bill. What does everyone else think.
Anyone heard a rumour about Brad Fitler???

Don't get carried away - -we can't afford SBW and Morley, even as replacements for Davico and Farrell.

We could if we sell Terry Newton for 250K

True, but I was replying to "Black Pearl", who included Terry in his proposed pack.

Here we go again with the Morley rumours. IF he comes back to the UK, and I'm not convinced he will, I'm pretty sure he would go to his home club of Salford. New stadium next year, big ambition, talk of lots of big name players... they're aiming high whereas we seem to be standing still at best. Leeds might also have a say in the matter, they've probably got first refusal (although Spotty Harris has shown how little that kind of thing means in a contract!). More importantly, how could we expect to win anything with Newton, SeuSeu and Morley all constantly giving away penalties? Good Morley may be (and I personally think he's overrated), no-one can deny he's also something of a thug and I, for one, don't want to see us turn into a team more known for dirty rough-house tactics rather than flowing rugby league.

True Fraggle, but you also have to earn the right to play free flowing rugby (remember the cup final against Sheffield!!). We haven't really had forwards that frighten the opposition for a while, so maybe a thug or two won't go amiss. :D
