Ok this really hurts to ponder BUT is Jamie Soward an option to approach for next year? He is off contract at the end of this year according to this article http://www.nrl.com/soward-desperate-to-stay-at-dragons/tabid/10874/newsid/71606/default.aspx and he is someone I had not previously thought about nor knew he was available. I know what people will say and I agree that he's a d*ckhead for taking a fall in that game a couple of years ago BUT atleast he is not a trouble maker like a Dugan.
I had thought that all the good to decent halfbacks had already been signed up for next year but this is an opportunity. You would have to think he would excel under Des. He has maybe 3-5 years left in the game and by that time we could have one of our rising talents in the lower grades ready to go. This would be a gap filler to our current crisis and TBH with him and the team we have we could just have a real good go at a couple of GF's in that time. This would also prove to be invaluable experience to our up and coming HB's. I think that almost everyone on here would have to agree that KK and TH are not of the calibre of Soward and that we have a huge problem in that position. Aiden Sezer should had never been lost from us but there is nothing we can do about that. Soward has all the skills we are missing right now and I would think he would work real well with Reynolds.
We have the money available and I am not hearing any rumours on here about us chasing anyone of note after we missed Thurston. The article clearly says that he wants to stay no-matter what but hey business is business and we could offer a very tempting deal to anyone at the moment with $$, facilities and a team that was in last years GF. Wouldn't any player want to finish there career with a couple of goes at the GF? St George won't be amungst it that much I would think??
Getting his services could just be the difference between going close each year to possibly winning some. I say again I think this is a massive opportunity. Thoughts?
