    If I was Sonny I would focus on boxing.

      Didn't stMerge sign Gaznier for 50grand on a back-ended contract only to "retire" after that first year... Could come in handy if we have another horror injury list.

      On the coaching staff or PR role ala Mini/Aubbo is more likely.

        Short term signing like SBW so they wouldn't need to pay the minimum that would be required if a full season - NRL deemed what amount was payable for both in any case

The minimum i think now is 105k so can't be less than that- Don't think he would want to play on in any case
          I’m not saying pay him $5. By minimal I was thinking 150 k.I would not expect him to play for that though.

            Quite a remarkable effort when you think how far he came in just a month or so. And at 35.

            The guy is a genius and whatever happens he'll always be a Roosters legend.
            Agreed.

            Offer him a 12 game package. Hand pick which games he plays.

            He still has something to offer. He showed it in his last game.

              Rooosters mentor / Scout , infact ROOSTERS Scout will most probably be the best fit in our club's history since the great Author Beetson being a Roosters Scout ! Really what kid or kids family not going to listen to SBW! SBW finished his career at the top "5 million dollar player" ,having this dude will insure we get the best of the best anywhere an everywhere! An what a job seriously! SBW will take it in a heart beat WIN /WIN

                When there's all club's fighting over players like sualii?! Then send SBW in an get the deal done !! Hahaha sucked in other clubs ! We got the number 1 draw card to pouch all the talent an rightfully so considering we geometrically disadvantaged with only 5 junior clubs an not a stand alone reserve grade team but having to use bears,jets,woyong etc ! Seriously we are 113 year club an Souths are a 112 year club an have more junior's ( our junior's ) and as a result are now a stand alone in there reserve grade team
                ARL did this so the NRL should compensate us to make the NRL a fair competition

                  Seriously hate this shite , the Vermin have been in the comp since 2001 , they were punted and should still be .We don't say Tigers have been in there since 1908 because they merged so neither should Vermin be considered that they have played sinceb1908 because they haven't.Only the mighty Roosters have this honour

                    Im glad Souths are in the comp.
                    They are the same as the Chooks in the sense that they have been around from the start.
                    Other clubs have been kicked out & just buckled but the Rabbitohs stood up & got themselves reinstated. Respect to them from me.

                    Go the Chooks.

                        Botha showed him the difference between a professional boxer and footy players who think they can fight. They cut that bout off early saving him from getting knocked out by a washed up old pug.

                          Yeah I partially agree. I think SBW found out in that fight that he had limited potential as a professional boxer. He could still make good money fighting the likes of Gallen or Hall.

                            You are right. Sonny went okay but he was not prepared for Botha to get dirty and use all of his tricks. By the end Sonny was pretty well done.
