The Roosters basically paid 75% of maloneys deal out of last years salary cap…..it is possible, sounds suss I know but apparently its legal.
They pretty much signed no one the last year or two, which allowed them to splurge now...they have 25% of maloneys gig this year, Penrith are paying a portion of jenkos gig, Watto explained the benefits of signing from the ESL and **SBW would be backloded to buggery**
Can you explain how SBW would be backloaded to buggery if he has only signed with them for 1 season?
Simple, he's signed for 2 yrs not 1
Where has that been made official? No use just going on speculation
Sonny Bill Williams has agreed to a second year at the Sydney Roosters, with another handshake deal ensuring the former All Black will stay in the NRL until the end of 2014.
It was widely considered that Williams would depart the Roosters at the end of this season and return to rugby union in New Zealand.
But there’s a new twist to Williams continuing his rugby league and boxing career.
Instead of playing in the rugby league World Cup on October 25, Williams is likely to wait until November before officially announcing his 2014 deal at the Roosters.
The delay would allow Williams to continue his boxing career, with plans for up to three off-season bouts.
Roosters chief executive Brian Canavan confirmed the club’s intentions to keep Williams beyond his current one-year deal.
“We want to make him comfortable playing rugby league and comfortable wearing a Roosters jersey first,” Canavan said.
“We want him to be excited about continuing in rugby league, but that is something that has no time frame. Hopefully he wants to stay.”
