Cronulla Sharks funny man Beau Ryan vows to tone down Sonny Bill Williams jibes Sonny Bill Willams shows Beau Ryan who's boss during their Monday night clash at Remondis Stadium. BEAU Ryan has offered to tone down his impersonations of Sonny Bill Williams if the Roosters superstar is genuinely offended by his Footy Show antics. The Sharks winger regularly pokes fun at the champion forward on his light-hearted SBW TV segment where he also takes off Benji Marshall, Sam Burgess and Kevin Rudd. Ryan says he will stop the moment Sonny Bill asks him too. SBW went looking for Ryan in last Monday night's game at Shark Park, collecting him with a shoulder charge. Ryan went off suffering from concussion after another big hit later in the game. "I spoke to him after the game," Ryan said. It's all fun and he was alright. Sonny Bill Williams puts a hit on Beau Ryan, and (top right) Ryan pokes fun at the Roosters star. Obviously they were filthy because they lost. I just shook his hand and said hope your family is well, stuff like that. He just said to be careful with a few of the things I said. The day he taps me on the shoulder and says don't do it, I'll stop. I guess it's lucky for me the shoulder charge is banned because he would have come looking for me more often. I'll probably ease up. He's a good guy. I respect him and think he's the best player in the game. Look, if he pulled me aside and said stop it, I would. Roosters five-eighth James Maloney plays down a rift between Sonny Bill Williams and Beau Ryan. Footy Show executive producer Glenn Pallister says he was surprised by the reaction on Monday night. "Everyone knows Beau hasn't got a vindictive bone in his body," he said. He's a very respectful man who laughs with people, not at them. He would never purposely be disrespectful to someone of Sonny Bill's stature. Like Ryan, Sonny Bill is on the Channel Nine payroll to make regular appearances as part of a third-party deal with the Roosters. Nine supremo David Gyngell was involved in the contract negotiations with Nick Politis to get SBW back to the NRL this year. Ryan has the most popular segment on the Footy Show and enjoys a cult following from women and children. "I guess it puts a bit of pressure on myself but I don't mind that," he said. It's all light-hearted and people enjoy it. I don't want to offend anyone. I'm just trying to make people laugh. As long as no-one gets hurt. I don't think I'm saying anything too derogatory. I do it to Benji, Sam Burgess and Sonny. I know Sammy Burgess didn't mind it and all the Souths boys loved it. Maybe I'll keep it light hearted with the blokes I know best like Benji, Robbie Farah and Gal. They're easy enough targets. Ryan knew before Monday night's game Sonny Bill would come looking for him and he joked about it with Sharks team mates in the build-up. "I told Gal I was going to run straight at him and he said 'good luck,'" Ryan said. Maybe I do have a target on my head. I guess my sort of stuff hasn't been done before. Matty Johns in his last year did a bit of this stuff and Wendell did too. As long as people understand ... I respect all my opponents ... and we're just trying to have a bit of fun.
