The Sonny Bill Williams saga is finally over, with the Bulldogs club and Williams' management coming to an agreement that will allow Williams to pursue his rugby aspirations.

Sonny's close friend and former St George star, Anthony Mundine, has come forward to pay the Bulldogs club around $750,000 of his own money to buy out Sonny's contract.

Now Sonny can focus on playing for Toulon for the next couple of years, and if all goes well an All Blacks jersey may be on the horizon.

If his first game for Toulon is anything to go by, he could become a very dominant figure in rugby union - although he may want to stop shoulder charging.

The NZRU have said that they will be interested in talking to anyone playing overseas when their contracts expire, and that includes Sonny Bill.

If that's the case, Sonny could be playing in the Super 14 by 2010.

Unfortunately for league fans, Sonny's league playing days are over - at least until 2012, which is part of the deal made by his management team and the Bulldogs CEO's.

But according to Sonny, he no longer wants to play league, and his entire focus is on making the All Blacks.

It's great that everything has been resolved, although it doesn't seem like Sonny will have learned anything from the whole ordeal - in which case, what will stop him from walking out on another contract if he's not happy?

Especially when you've got rich friends who will bail you out...

If he's serious about playing for the All Blacks, he really needs to be playing in New Zealand as soon as possible - because we play a completely different style of rugby than the French.

For now, though, it's great to know that everything has been sorted out.

Thanks, Anthony Mundine.

We'll leave you with a tribute to Sonny, playing for his old Bulldogs club - enjoy.
