Many do & I'm one of them. Look, he said he was going to commit.. then 2 days after that wanker Mundine tweets to him "Bra, we gotta get you outta there" or some horseshit, all of a sudden he's not committed because "a man is allowed to change his mind".

Toulon for a year, back to the NRL in 2013 (he's banned until 2013).

Did you watch the game on the weekend? Nonu was on fire and their best player in spite of Carter being under pressure.
If SBW 'Revolutionised Rugby' as Mundine put it. He would have turned that game in SA on it's head and won games.
Not this year, maybe not next year but definitely the year after he could potentially be the best 12 in the world IMO.
Nonu has to be one of the best handful of players in the World this year on his form.
Unless he has a horrible World Cup, he has to be a contender for international player of the year.

He and Smith have been sensational. Something about putting on the black jersey turns those two into freaks.

How does the IRB player of the year work, do they factor in club performances?? If so Nonus super rugby season will count as a black mark against his name

Mundine should just keep his mouth shut... he ruined Greg Inglis and now he's ruining Sonny Bill.

Agree 100% MR. Doubly appalling was the 'I'm wholeheartedly committing to a 2012 for rugby in NZ as people have treated me so well, offered me so much support' etc.. and then to have the pathetic hypocrisy to effectively say: 'well, I didn't really value all that support so much after all if the NZRU/ABs whomever don't give me exactly what I want right now...'.
He doesn't just stop at football.
He became a big influence over the Aussie cricketer Phil Hughes and he went downhill rapidly. Thankfully it seems that association has largely been nipped in the bud.

Yeah enjoyed his game a lot, it has been great to see Nonu play so well after a rubbish year under Hammett. I'm just surprised SBW didn't push his own wheelbarrow more vs Boks in SA.

I went to the Captain's Run on Friday at Suncorp. As SBW wasn't in the 22, he sat on his arse fiddling with his ipod. Other All Blacks who did some light training come across and happily signed autographs and posed for photos. Players like Brad Thorn, Owen Franks, Piri Weepu, Victor Vito, John Afoa, Sam Whitelock, Jimmy Cowan, Israel Dagg... Mils spent quite some time training and was visibly sweating when he came over to the fans.
While this clown receives advice from people like Mundine, he's never going to understand the All Blacks brand is bigger than him. I don't care how nice he is, if he behaves like this then don't let the door hit you on your arse on the way out Sonny. At best you're going to be pub trivia once you've retired.

My sources tell me he's close to inking a deal to play with Karmichael at the Gold Coast Suns. Plenty of bucks, no earth quakes what more could he want?
