Would I take him back .... ? The more I think about it ... YES!
Looking at the bigger picture it would definitely be a signal of intent from our club that we're moving forward and returning to the glory days of the past. It would increase interest in the club. Bring sponsors in. Have bigger gate receipts. Put us in the news ... for the right reasons. So from a financial point of view ... if he comes at the right price it's a no brainer.
Perhaps though, and I've seen it mentioned, it's then a signal to other clubs and players that we mean business. That the Dogs in fact can attract the best of the best. SBW no matter what people say would be a HUGE coup for any club in the NRL but the story behind him coming back to the Dogs would be massive. I really think that he would be the catylst for signing other players, other big players. A domino affect.
Add to that the boost it would give the players. He's a superstar of sport no matter what anyone says. Him being in the squad. Running out on the weekend. Would be really boost the attitude of everyone around the club. For the young boys there he would really be a great rolemodel imo.
The negative for me is if it's only for a year and if he fucks off again ....
