SBW expects young guns to target him in NRL return

Sonny Bill Williams expects to be targeted in the NRL, labelling his return to the Sydney Roosters one of his greatest ever challenges.

Williams has been one of the finest athletes in either rugby code for the past 16 years but has not played in the NRL since 2014.

Since then the game has changed dramatically, with this year's set restart rule one of the most significant in speeding up the pace of play.

Williams is also wary he has not run out in any sport for five months, with the COVID-19 pandemic leaving him without proper training in Europe.

Looking at some NRL results, the Canberra Raiders thrashed Broncos 36-8 last night, the Sharks beat the Titans 30-18 while the Rabbitohs edged the Cowboys 31-30.

In the NRL games today, the Knights will play the Sea Eagles at 4pm while the Wests Tigers will take on the Bulldogs at 6.05pm
