The Bulldogs will find out just hours before Sonny Bill Williams' proposed rugby debut if they have been successful in gaining the injunction needed to block his defection from the National Rugby League.
Williams' signing with French club Toulon was made official yesterday, the former Kiwi Test star agreeing to a one-year deal with an option for a second season despite having four years left on his contract with the Bulldogs.
A New South Wales Supreme Court Justice Robert Austin granted leave for lawyers to serve documents to associates of Williams as substitutes, after failed attempts last week to serve the runaway rugby league star directly.
Williams is due to emerge from hiding in the next couple of days witj Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal claiming the new signing will be at the club's ground in some capacity on Saturday.
