Dragons are leaving Soward on the bench, would be nice to get him over here early, especially as they're not going to make the top eight in Oz this time.

He was pretty ineffective coming of the bench against the Tigers last week but the game was played in terrible conditions. Reading his body language he certainly seemed to care a lot about the result and still has a lot of passion playing for the Dragons, I believe he's prepared to fight for his starting position back. The signing of Blake Green has definitely ruled out a Soward transfer for me.

Will he be tempted to put Thornley on the bench to cover Paddy or would he move Carmont onto the wing with Hughes at centre?

Gelling on the bench for me. He can come on at SR if Pat doesn't need replacing.
