the herald on sunday needed a big sports story. there was no big sporting match on last night in NZ for them to use, and the Benji stuff is getting boring. So they pull out the SBW card and use that to try and sell the papers. they story lacked substance. it was empty.
NZRU wants SBW. Easts wants SBW. Sonny will make up his mind when he's ready

That's the truth of the matter...well said Comrade.
IMHO the only thing that will stop sbw playing with us next year is if we win the comp this year.
If Sonny was not going to be here next year, the Roosters would have been much more active in the player market. The fact that they haven't is, I believe, the best indicator that we will have at least one more year of this great player.
he also shook the same hand earlier this year for next year. look thru the archives and you will see it. Ill put a hand shake agreement on it with any one
He's going to box in the off season, if he signs before he boxes then his income will be included in the cap, he will sign after he is done boxing with the Roosters in 2014. Exactly what happened at the start of this year is what he will do the start of next year.
I say good on him for being smart about it and money more money than most NRL players.
If you do the research & look between the lines in the contrived media releases....
The Chiefs in the knowledge he wants do defend the 'Web Ellis' in 2016 are wanting to lock him in first from 2015
These years beyond next should be when he MAXIMISES his earning potential before retirement, & if he's as smart as I think he is he will wait till he's won (or lost) the League world cup & the title for the roosters
There's BIG BUCKS in union over the coming years & he will benefit the most by not signing although he likely would have shaken a hand while in Waikato watching his bros win the 'super'
