SBW return hinges on Cooper
Sonny Bill Williams will only play in the NRL next year if Quade Cooper is beside him, with the pair looking certain to be in the same team, whether it be league or union.
The Sunday Telegraph has learned Williams and Cooper will now come as a package deal, such is the desire of the two stars to play together.
While Williams has long been linked to the Sydney oosters, he has never publicly said which club he is joining – nor has he signed any NRL contract.
Cooper, whose stunning attack on the ARU has signalled the end of his Wallabies career, has suddenly become an integral part of any deal Williams does sign for 2013.

These two are obviously joined at the hip. See ya $onny Bill William$.
Sonny Bill has spent too much time with Silly Mason, now making stupid demands that he will only play if his boyfriend can play with him. Who are you to dictate the terms? You went from getting $850K on your own to $700K as a ‘couple’ lmao. Overpaid Quade ‘I can’t tackle’ Blooper is going to drag you down SBW!!!
Roosters won’t want Cooper. Not with Jake Friend at 9, Mitchell Pearce at 7, James Maloney at 6 and Anthony Minichello at 1. Where would Cooper fit?
However the Warriors need a Centre and a Five-Eighth.
This could be Cooper’s redemption.
Roosters might want him but as you said it would be hard to fit him in. Although, we could put Minichiello at Wing and Quade would play at Fullback. But the Roosters already have too many Outside Backs, Inside Backs and even too many Back-Rowers. So in the end, the outcome will probably be no Quade Cooper, but yes to Sonny Bill Williams. Plus, haven’t we already signed SBW? I thought we signed him for 850k.
nah he has not put pen to paper, though he was expected to honor an agreement with them. So offically he is a free agent next year
Have heard from a great source who advised me on Inu and Perrett weeks before they came Pearce has signed on with the dogs and they are basically waiting for test to pass and they will announce it with at a massive press conference. It seems as though to make way for cooper and sonny but roosters will pay for most of Pearce’s contract this year and the dogs signed him for a further three years
This is SBW’s get out of jail card. No club would want them as a package deal. Wouldn’t be able to fit them under the cap. Cooper would be a hugh risk. They will end up in Euro Rugby.
Both wankers anyway! Cooper can’t tackle and has a shit kicking game and Sonny Bill will do exactly what Mark Gasnier did to us after he came back our to best forwards smith and costigan were forced out and that has been our problem ever since NO MUNGRAL in the foward pack! SBW is a commodity!
I agree this is his get out, no one really wants quade in the NRL, SBW knows it….
to make it easier we’ll take Maloney back… as long as it’s a package deal with jake friend.
Nah mate we already got a Friend. We would be better off with SKD
We got dudded on that deal
Nathans a friend in need
and Jakes a friend indeed
Now thats poetic.
Regardless, if you play over 60 minutes with a broken jaw for us, your going to be in the mix somewhere
stop trying to steal our players!
@Dane Kerr
@warrior poet
@tjkovea
Thats funny because you stole Maloney from us you thieves.
But what can I say, you can bring the rciminals into civilisation but you cant put civilisation into criminals
Lol ^
we didnt steal, it was a legit deal
Says the team who stole brad fittler from us.
Again, we didnt steal, it was a legit deal…Just so happens we made him a star
granted then we should play him at lock we’d all have better luck with him there then at dummy half- we miss a hooker like a henderson or marsh whose gets the big boys on the front foot who takes abit of pressure off the halves- id go for waddell
godinet would be perfect for the role coming off the bench after 20-25 mins move friend to the backrow and play matulino in the 2nd row so you have matulino/packer/rapira all starting with lillyman off the bench bash the crap out of the opposite team for 20 mins then the opposition would be too battered to run us down in the 2nd half haha
Your right, we do need a bit of mongrel from the little guys in the team, even more so now we are missing Maloney.
I have a lot of praise for Godinet but for some reason he has never really been “part of the team” which I don’t understand.
Friend at lock would be good, however I think Elijah Taylor, as much as I despise him, has that position covered.
its all about the coach with players like godinet who play off natural talent and confidence if hasler got godinet along with inu the bulldogs would have a different captain and better hooker!
We’re getting Lowrie so I’m sure he’ll slot into lock? Taylor + Henry will move to Second Row, so at least our defense will receive a boost for next year
Why doesn’t Sonny Bill start his own club? Khoder could be the CEO, The Man could be the coach, and Sonny Bill could have who he likes playing for his team. It doesn’t matter what the Commission says, what Sonny Bill wants he usually gets. And I don’t think he wants to play for the Roosters.
i’ve got it, since SBW has probably already been promised the roosters captaincy maybe cooper can captain newtown? (it’s about the only level he deserves to be)
taylors alright i cant stand henry. he reminds me of a kiss ass, how he can be selected seen as the first choice centre is beyond me. they let feka who was their starting centre for 2 years in the same team as henry go to the sharks to loose all his confidence is beyond me
You’re an absolute muppet, Ben Henry was one of the best rookies in the NRL and the Warriors’ 2nd best player this year behind Matulino. He reminds you of a kiss ass? You remind me of a dumb ass.
How quade cooper can ever wear a wallabies jersey again after that performance in the last world cup is beyond me. Played so bad it looked fixed and like the rest of the wallabies is a spineless player.
Wears a skirt in defence and a big mistake by roosters if they sign sbw.
What a little bitch sbw is ! Be a man n honour your agreement you mong !
What a laugh $bw has no integrity he wanted out of his hand shake deal and Cooper is his ticket. No surprises $bw making demands after he has already given his word the nrl should ban him they have already gotten enough publicity out the tosser.
Yep this is what is most likely going to happen, and I picked it a week ago.

7. Quade Cooper

I wouldnt believe two tenths of this garbage article…..
If that is the team it’s a guaranteed wooden spoon for the chooks.
Are Williams and Cooper gay lmao.Cooper is going on bout the Wallabies environment but hes only saying that because Barnes,Beale,Harris and O Connor are all better than him.
Cooper shouldnt play league cause he cant tackle and he wont be much in league anyway
my god Nasser is such a dickhead!!!!!!!!!!!!!
roosters don’t won’t Quade cooper he is useless
SBW what a little cat really, that is some thing a 6 year old would do but I guess that would be your brain development anyway. Stay where you are and keep that other goose with you .
Who the F*** does Sonny Bill think he is
this is why i never wanted this over hyped sack back in footy. NRL DONT SIGN HIM he will walk out on another deal he is a dog and a coward!!!!!
@Mik
Amen to that.
Lol John snell!yep these two will destroy what ever club they walk into!
Sonny wants Quade Cooper to hold his hand.
SBW is not in the nrl yet any time he says anything he gets more publicity than anyone.. Love him or not he’s big news, he’ll get bums on seats, he’ll get more attention whether its good or bad.. So the bloke wants to play in the nrl with his mate cooper yeah so what a lot of nrl teams have players that want to play in their respective teams together cowboys,manly, pupps etc etc yet you whining keyboard tapping people want to have a go at SBW and COOPER why, because they say what they feel, so cooper thought the aus union team was toxic and didn’t agree with the coachs defensive play or that sbw walked out on the pupps grow people your the same puppets that chear on drug cheats like ” the dell” and ” joey ” and stand clapping players that bash their partners you hypocrites all need to grow and pull your heads out of your own arses.. SBW and COOPER speak their minds and will not be told how to act or what to say..
Fair enough!
Speak for yourself I have done none of those things you mentioned. I have no issue with players speaking their minds but as professionals they should conduct themselves accordingly which is something neither of these two muppets have done.
Seriously, those two needs to get a room. Those obvious signs of affection towards each other is sickening.
f*** them both off if they are going to winge like that Go the storm!!!!!!!!!!!

dragons r the only club with money left in their cap to purchase two players of that quality. but i dont think they would go down that road for one season. it would have to be two seasons if they were interested at all.
dragons backline
fullback beale
wing morris / nightingale
centre matt cooper /sbw
five eight quad cooper
halfback kyle stanley
plenty of points there
DJ for starters Ayshford has been shown the door and Lawrence wants out too farah will go to the eels with his mate dicky stuart
Fuk al u haters out ther SBW is worth the $hes one of kind league player no one in the history of league could compare to him,Go Sonny show these arsehole y yr bk!!!So they cn eat ther words.Roosters money well spent!!!!Go the Warriors
Haha,defiantly the doggies are loud and clear on this topic. SBW will draw huge crowds great for the NRL.
I bet half the comments would disappear if he was to go back to the pups. Bulldog fans go lick your wounds and worry about next year. Go the NRL
The pair have no respect for themself, their clubs, sponsours, fans, just engulfed in money which they have no idea how to manage nor handle. Why are people surprised, just look at league and the trouble it brings, all players with the same culture, the game is not what it used to be.
