Penrith are crazy if they let Soward go, play him at 7 and Moylan at 6.
RLenrith offers Soward to NRL rivals

The news follows a season beset by injuries for Soward, and Penrith's disappointing second-to-last place finish.
?6 weeks ago I had (an) honest discussion with Jamie,? Gould wrote.
?He agreed he struggled in 2015 after several setbacks. I advised that if he wasn?t 100% motivated to play, I prefer he retire to start a coaching career with (the) Panthers.
Never at any time did (the) Panthers offer Jamie to other clubs. Jamie may have considered a fresh start somewhere else.
That concerns me a little. So next year we may have 2 players in Soward & Idris that may not be 100% enthusiastically about being here.
Unless we get off to a flyer, I think next year there may well be a big turn over of our roster and possibly a new coach.
McKendry has been down for a few years.
I don't know Sowards state of mind but to be fair he never really got much of a chance to get going this year.
He carried the back injury into the year that got worse. He came back gingerly as one would expect.
He picked up a knee injury in training that hampered him for awhile and just as he was getting back into his game the frigging gorilla from Parramatta steamrollered him giving him a shoulder problems for the rest of the year ?
Add up all those knocks and I would believe his confidence would be down. It can be very hard to get your form back up once you suffer a few knocks and your team is struggling.
I hope he he has a good off season break and the results show up in the pre season. If he has a good performance at the nines ten look out.
