Sonny Bill Williams is an ex-Rugby League player who reneged on his 5 year contract to go play Union in France (for a shitload of money).
His only explanation - "I've had enough". I suspect he refers to the following amongst other things.
Greg Bird is, or rather was, a current League player for the Cronulla Sharks, (he's been fired). Why? Well, it seems Mr Bird, for reasons known only to him, "glassed" his American girlfriend, Katie Milligan, in the face. "Glassing" is the disgusting practice of smashing a glass in someone's face, causing severe lacerations at best, loss of sight and permanent scarring among the worst results.
A cowardly act, even more so against a woman - and beggaring belief when considered this particular woman was the man's girlfriend. What would make someone do such a thing?
Anyway, the bottom line is that he's been sacked from the club and rightfully so, and is now facing charges from the police (unless of course the woman, who must suffer from self esteem problems, retracts the charges. THAT would be hard to believe but it happens...).
So you see, whilst there are exceptions, League players ARE thugs in the main and frankly I don't blame Sonny Bill for wanting out.
