When you have that talent, that talent deserves to be seen.”Williams is the most decorated cross-code star having won two NRL premierships with the Bulldogs (2004) and Roosters (2013) to go with two Rugby World Cups with the All Blacks in 2011 and 2015.In football: Manchester United’s miserable season hit a new low as they crashed to a dismal 1-2 loss to Premier League strugglers Nottingham Forest on Sunday.Erik10’s side produced a wretched display for Man U’s fourth loss in their last six games in all competitions, leaving them languishing in seventh place in the Premier League.Forest moved five points clear of the relegation zone after Nuno Espirito Santo masterminded his second successive high-profile win.Nuno’s first win as Forest boss after replacing the sacked Steve Cooper came against Newcastle, but this was an even bigger scalp.In SportsBiz: Super Rugby Pacific is seeking to employ a Chief Executive Officer focused on driving innovation, collaboration, and to position the Super Rugby competition front and center, while breathing new life into and rejuvenating the competition.This rare opportunity will suit someone who has strong leadership experience at an executive level, with a proven track record in building effective relationships.The role is based in Sydney, Australia and applications close Wednesday 31 January 2024.
