It's official - Sonny Bill Williams has signed a one year deal with Toulon, and could be playing his first game of rugby as early as this Saturday.

That is, if the Bulldogs aren't successful in blocking him with a court injuncture.

But, all the dramas aside, we want to hear from Williams himself as to why he quit the NRL - because, quite frankly, we're sick of hearing why from everyone else. No one seems to be giving us the facts, and all the fans want to know is WHY he left.

The time has come for Williams to man up and speak for himself, rather than getting people to talk for him.

If indeed Williams does want to play for the All Blacks, then why the hell did he sign with a French club?

It doesn't make sense.

To play for the All Blacks, you have to play in New Zealand - not France.

There would have been plenty of New Zealand clubs happy to sign a guy like Williams...

Therefore, we can only conclude that he has gone to France because of the money. If an All Black jersey means that much to him, he'd have signed with the NZRU.

But, to be fair to Williams, we believe that he is probably under a great deal of pressure - and probably not getting the best advice from those around him.

His managers make more money when he makes more money, so they would have been more than happy to see him leave for France.

Whatever the outcome of this saga is, we fell that it could have all been avoided had Williams taken the proper measures to leave the Bulldogs, rather than just up-and-leaving like he did.

What he did to his Bulldogs team mates is not right - for everything they've been through together, the Bulldogs deserved better.

So come on Sonny - time to speak up, and tell your fans why. We just want to know why.

And, we hope some good can come out of all of this drama.
