A day after Cameron Smith announced his retirement, another superstar has officially called it a day with Sonny Bill Williams posting a heartfelt farewell on social media.
SBW will continue his professional boxing career but has decided to hang up his boots after a glittering career in the rugby union and rugby league arenas.
The 35-year-old finished the NRL season with the Sydney Roosters last year and plans to stay involved in an off-field capacity in 2021. Sonny s been in twice now in the last two weeks, said Roosters coach Trent Robinson. It s the end of a career for him - he spoke about it to me when he came back at the end of July last year when he started, he wanted to have a look at that and he s come back in to learn.

Taking his season total to three, Berisha secured a brace in Western United’s 4-1 win over Macarthur FC on Saturday, equalling and then moved past former Socceroo and Brisbane Strikers’ marksman Rod Brown with 138 goals.
The marksman now only trails Adelaide City and Perth Glory legend Damian Mori on the all-time list - albeit the 45-time Socceroos’ mark of 240 national league goals looms as a record that may well never be broken.
Since arriving in Australian in 2011 to sign with Ange Postecoglou’s Brisbane Roar, Berisha has scored a goal in every 1.58 games he has played across stints at Roar, Melbourne Victory and Western - a rate quicker than fellow residents on the top-five all-time list in Mori (1.86), Brown (2.52), John Kosmina (2.17) and Archie Thompson (2.58).

Former Australian captain Mark Taylor says selectors will be worried by Aaron Finch s horror T20 form, ahead of the scheduled World Cup later this year.
Finch averaged just 13.76 across 13 matches in a season where the side finished last by some distance.
It followed a poor IPL by Finch s usually high standards, where he managed just one score over 50 in 12 matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore, which last week axed Finch for the 2021 tournament.
Aaron Finch (Getty) I think they d be concerned about his form, but not his captaincy, he told Wide World of Sports. His leadership is still very good, and that s why I think they ll be very keen for him to find his form again.
