Hearty azz mum💪 appreciate what you do SBW! Transcending our peoples perceptions of this world! You are the Ali of down under brother!! Truely inspiring!!
SBW , as a Warriors fan I would have loved to have seen him in a Warriors jersey . Kiwis knew of his RL pedigree from a young age . Natural ability like Michael Jones
So cool seeing SBW grow in front of my eyes. From a young man finding his footing in life to becoming a strong and awesome role model for all the youngins 💯💯💯

I have lost all respect for sonny bill. he was one of my hero's. He called the attack on Christchurch a cowardly event. we all agreed (obviously) and he was a role model and idol. now the attacks on innocent people at a festival are justified and applauded by him!!!! a thousand people killed and taken hostage and executed. children. wives, daughters , sons , parents. innocent people, DEAD ! sonny bill doesn't care about people. it's all false!!!! he only cares about people who follow his controlling terrorist views!!! his sky wizard is more important than the lives of people enjoying a festival. You make me sick sonny. you were my hero. you are now nothing to me. but why would you care?
Sonny is truly an Inspiration of a world-class athlete and also a father a human and a beautiful humble man.

SBW ❤
Too many haters just be happy for for him and his family .. It's his journey not yours you haters.. That's his choice too choose what direction and where he truly belongs... Jesus is the true massiah King of Kings Lord of Lords and that's my choice and opinion.. Eternity.. So all you haters look at yourselves before you hate on others .
i love and respect this uso 100% as a rugby league and super rugby player and the man he is today. but when it comes down to boxing its not his sport 100% NO NO

Great understanding of your personality bro. However, regarding the fight with whats his name. Maybe being 'just' was right for your beliefs and maybe he felt the money for his beliefs was worth the battle. Was there a compromise from you? Or are you saying that your beliefs are final???

Sonny Bill is a good man, but I don't think he would have beaten Gallen, and I think he knows that.
Mashaallah ❤️❤️❤️
Lol he didn’t win a World Cup with the Kiwis in rugby league he only made the finals.. he was in union in 2008 when the kiwis won their only World Cup
Fight Gallen.

Sonny look up the ‘Christian Prince’
No hate to SBW, but I can see the same problem that American sports are going through. Diversity should not be a reason to hire someone, let that person's actions determine it.
Do Maori not identify as Polynesian? I always thought they were Poly? Love Sunny. God is Great.

If you go further back it was the Palagis and the Maolis that were racist towards the islanders during the 60s n 70s and the Horis were even worser then the Palagis. But now all of a sudden they wanna be down because it's cool to be a Islander now 😂😂😂😂😂😂🖕🏾

Muslims follow Jesus more than Christians do. They dress like him, beards, pray by going down on ground, fast like him etc. Women dress like mother Mary etc. Don't drink and have sex outside of marriage. Christians are seriously screwed nowadays.
Sbw operated give up your commentary job with children because he can't pull a sentence together he might need a brain scan

He's confessed Islam has made him into a much better person. Maybe you should look into Islam because Islam could help you too, it's against Islam to make negative comments like you just have. Sonny used to down bottles of alcohol after training session, go out on weekends for benders but Islam has shown him that isn't the life

Yes must be terrible that his kids will learn to not drink, gamble, have casual relationships outside of marriage etc, have respect for parents and elders. Sounds really bad, must be better if the kids go out to parties and get trashed, perhaps experiment with lgbt shit, leave home and parents to go and have "fun", neglect looking after parents when older etc, never get married but have kids in uncommitted relationship and wreck kids lives. You're lost and need to wake up to problems we have with the absent of spiritual guidance.
