No news here

Laughable .....

Soward the Coward *after his off the ball tackle on a Leigh player, an age after play had moved upfield* scoffs at Super League FFS !!!

He wasn't even one of the top players in Championship, not even the best half.

Only 10 years behind sounds pretty good to me!

Yes, I'd have said ten years behind maybe 5 years ago. Now I'd say 15 years behind!

Seriously who gives a toss what the bearded wonder boy thinks ?

So he didn't get a decent offer of another contract over here then?

The whinging little sh/tbag

I'm struggling to find anything disagreeable in his comments to be honest.

He may have a point but unfortunatley as poor as the standard may be he is no longer good enough to play even at that level

Sounds like sour grapes. He would be good enough for a SL slot, even though he's lost pace. Unfortunately he didn't provide evidence of consistently delivering in each and every game this time around. He was anonymous in a couple of games. Anyway all the SL clubs have already taken invested heavily in developing their own half back talent.

He's right though.

He's right to a certain extent. There's no doubt the NRL is a superior competition. It should be considering they have a much larger pool of players in their youth and amateur competitions and the vast amount of money they have compared to SL.

Not a pop at you but what do you mean by superior? I watched nearly every game of the NRL last year & it was OK with high skill levels, but I got a dam sight more entertainment watching the team I follow in super league & I suspect as much fun (as we are in the championship now) next season. The reason, I have an attachment to my team the results in the competition mean something to me as they affect the team I invest my emotions in. I love the game & enjoy any close fought match at any level from under 9's to international. It only becomes a problem when the two leagues play each other & you get blow out scores. It would be nice to give the Aussies a good hammering but it don't mean our competition is poor because we don't. As for the gentleman's comments, He hardly set our competition ablaze did he?

He is right and we are losing ground rather than catching up. We are watching the managed decline of our game

Why does it matter if there ahead of us they always have been I find the NRL boring to watch most of the time and especially the SOO games which used to be great the games gone sterile since the biff was eradicated out of it

Agreed. Never really understood the NRL sockfest.
Higher intensity? Yes
Fewer errors? Yes
More entertaining? Not at all

Some of the best games ive seen have been between two 'less glamorous teams'
I think its all too easy to jump on the nrl bandwagon. People think theyre somewhat cool or above, if they watch nrl.
Well i watch it, and i'd say a good 80% of it is cakamala.

This in a nutshell

We can't pretend forever that its the whole which is wrong.

Its like people think our success will come from pure intransigence.

From Lockyer I'd accept it, but Soward hardly ran riot over here.

And it wouldn't be a problem if our players knew how to adapt and cope with the pressure when they do meet an Aussie team. There is an issue with quite a few teams in not knowing what to do when plan A doesn't work. And it's ultimately the lack of brains controlling the team on the pitch, and the error rate is ultimately what does for us.

And the best games over here still need evenly matched teams, and there aren't enough of them.

So Soward is saying he looked good a few times in one of the top teams in a league that's 20 years behind the NRL.

How sh|t is he?

Spot on

No time for the bloke after the cowardly attack on Greg Worthington (flew into the tunnel after the incident)

The same Jamie Soward who said this after the end of his 2nd London spell just a few months ago?

“I’m off contract and my services are available,” he said. “I’m open to offers. I would play in the Championship but Super League is more realistic because of the salary. I want to come back and start a family over here with my missus. We’re interested in travelling over."

Take it he's bitter because no SL clubs wanted him then.
