Talkback radio veteran Ray Hadley is again calling for the head of Sonny Bill Williams.
Hadley has had enough of the famous football code-hopper, calling him an embarrassment.
It is an intriguing position for Hadley given Hadley and Williams work for the same company.

Hadley is a breakfast radio host for 2GB and Williams is a rugby union commentator for Stan (they are both owned Nine Entertainment).
“I don’t know how this bloke has continued to be employed by the network that employs me,” Hadley said.
“That’s a decision for people who are on a higher post than me.

“It’s embarrassing he’s employed by this organisation. I’m embarrassed to be in the same camp as him.
“I’d say to the Nine board that employs me, you should be embarrassed, as well ...
“How he sustains his job given his monosyllabic efforts on TV, I’ll never know, let alone his dim-witted approach on social media.”
Hadley has several issues with Williams and has an intense dislike with the former NRL and union star’s social media behaviour.
In particular, Hadley was fuming that Williams shared a post by controversial influencer Andrew Tate that had linked the Wakeley church stabbing to the war in Gaza.
“Be handy one day Sonny Bill if you picked up the paper and got somebody to read it to you or cleaned the wax out of your ears and listen to what’s been going on in Sydney over the past 48 hours,” Hadley blasted.
Hadley has reportedly not been contacted by senior management over his views on Williams.
Last October Hadley also took aim at Williams, calling him a “lunatic”.
That outburst followed Williams agreeing with a social media post that defended Palestinians in Gaza and questioned why they weren’t thought of by the wider world as the same as “Ukrainian civilians defending their families”.
“If his brains were dynamite, Sonny Bill Williams wouldn’t blow his ears off,” Hadley said at the time.
“It’s embarrassing for me and other people connected with this radio and TV network that he’s employed by - and I think that the CEO of the company should review his employment prospects,” Hadley said.
