Furious Ray Hadley goes ballistic at Sonny Bill Williams for footy star's shocking act after bishop was stabbed in Sydney terror attack

Radio host Ray Hadley has hit Sonny Bill Williams with a blistering spray after the ex-footy star shared a post by rape-accused social media influencer Andrew Tate in the wake of the stabbing of a Sydney bishop on Monday night.  

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was preaching at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley in Sydney's west on Monday just after 7pm when a 16-year-old boy dressed in black walked up to the altar and allegedly stabbed him multiple times.

Footage of the attack quickly circulated on social media, with Williams, 38, sharing it from Tate's X account as the influencer linked the stabbing to comments Bishop Emmanuel had supposedly made about the Israel-Gaza war.

Hadley unleashed on the former NRL and All Blacks star turned Channel Nine footy commentator on Wednesday morning, saying he has a 'brain the size of a cumquat' and lashing out at his stupidity for sharing the post.  

'I don't know how this bloke has continued to be employed by the network that employs me,' Hadley began.

'This is his lack of knowledge of world affairs, let alone what's happening in western Sydney.'

Hadley then read from Daily Mail Australia's story before telling his listeners, 'If you don't know Andrew Tate, apparently he's a hero to a lot of young men, he's a misogynist, he lives somewhere in Romania and he can't leave. 

'He's in Romania with his brother facing trial for rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. 

'He's the sort of bloke you want to retweet.

'So this bloke Tate, from Romania, far removed from Wakeley, sees the footage, and then posts something, which has been retweeted by Sonny Bill Williams.

'His original post on Twitter linked the stabbing to comments Bishop Emmanuel has supposedly made about the Israel-Gaza war - which he [Emmanuel] hasn't, to my knowledge, made any statements [about]. 

'He's certainly been critical of some Muslims, given he's a Christian cleric.

'So while the stabbing has been declared an act of terror by NSW police, Tate - who's facing allegations I just told you of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organised group sexually exploiting women - sort of bloke you want to be tied up with there, Sonny Bill - he captioned the video of the attack, and this is what he said.

'First of all, the bishop is a Christian bishop who has an issue with some of the Muslim faith. But this imbecile in Romania said, "Anti-zionist preacher 'stop killing little Muslim girls" stabbed in Sydney Australia'. 

'Sonny Bill, with a brain the size of a cumquat, reposted and says "praying for his full recovery", alongside an open-palm emoji.

'So he thinks Tate is right in describing the bishop as anti-zionist ... Be handy one day, Sonny Bill, if you got someone to pick up the paper and read it to you.'

It's not the first time Hadley has blasted Williams.

In October last year he branded the devout Muslim a 'lunatic' for supporting Hamas's attack on Israel.

'As I've said, if brains were dynamite, Sonny Bill Williams wouldn't blow his ears off,' the 2GB star said.

'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.'
