Finding the best position for Sonny Bill Williams is one of the more pleasant conundrums for Kiwis rugby league coach Steven Kearney to consider before he names his squad for the Anzac Test in Canberra next Friday.

Half an hour after breaking their hearts, Sonny Bill Williams finally gave Canterbury fans something they have been craving for four-and-a-half years – a public apology. In his first game against the club he walked out on mid-contract in 2008, Williams was all class in a commanding two-try performance in the Sydney Roosters’ 38-0 crushing [...]
