The manager of Bulldogs player Sonny Bill Williams says the Kiwis forward could walk out on rugby league within two weeks.

and a journalist's viewpoint of the whole SBW saga
"I'm a sportsman and I definitely see it as a challenge, the whole rugby union thing. It's also about opportunity and I see rugby as an opportunity. If I did decide to do that, there would be a lot of goals I could try to achieve."
Then came a slightly unbelievable bit - is this big-headedness or just the distorted view of youth? - "I've achieved a lot in rugby league ... "
Pardon.
He has played just 71 games over four-and-a-half seasons and has appeared in seven test matches, mostly losses to Australia.

Dogs will sue Sonny for $3m
May 25, 2008 THE Bulldogs are planning to slap Sonny Bill Williams with a $3million lawsuit should the troubled superstar walk away from the five-year contract he signed last year.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the club will impose an injunction to stop the Kiwi Test forward from playing any form of football should he attempt to renege on the deal.
Bulldogs chief executive Todd Greenberg has also forecast legal action against rugby clubs looking to entice Williams to breach his contract.

International RU is a much bigger sport to be involved in RL is quickly becomming a stepping stone to greater riches and recognition.
And if it doesn't work out they can always come back and say how much they missed the game.
