Sonny Bill Williams trains with Wolfpack for first time. MORE:
"It's been a good day, it's been an enjoyable day," McDermott said."First time the whole group's been together since the Grand Final last year."
The Wolfpack opened the vault to get him, with a two-year deal worth a total of $9 million, with Williams getting an ownership stake, according to a source granted anonymity because they were not in a position to publicly divulge the information. Forward Andrew Dixon and New Zealand international back Chase Stanley are expected to rejoin the team in the next few days, bringing the roster up to 23.
McDermott says Toronto, like London Broncos, is forced to overpay for talent because of the size of the market and cost of living. Like Major League Soccer, Super League has a marquee player designation with two allowed per club. Williams will fall under this category, meaning he will count just 150,000 pounds against the cap.
