Rubbish! Loved Sowie and I'm not at all an advocate of Price, but there's no doubt that Sowie acted like a spoilt brat while Price was in charge simply because Price was Bennett's waterboy, and Jamie Soward doesn't take orders from someone unless they have the character to back it up.
They were both at fault, but ultimately Soward was being paid to follow Prices instructions and he didn't. So over idiots making Sowie out to be an angel just to get at Price...

Well I voted no for the same reason "pay him out and be done with it", why should he forego his wage, Dragons signed him to a two year contract, not Price's fault.I voted yes but if I was in his shoes I wouldn't resign. Pay him out and be done with it.
The Soward incident is when Price should have made a statement. Releasing him was too much of a soft option. Letting him go was dumb. If the club dug their heels in he would have made an effort to finish the season strongly. If not Price would have justified his decision. We will never know I suppose.
interested to see how Soward goes next season. Gould must rate him and so did Bennett. Pretty good critics to me.
I agree, jenninga - Sowy's form dropped alarmingly post-Bennett. I was confused by Price's decision to keep playing Fein at half when you could see from pre-season matches that it wasn't working and, in all likelihood, wasn't going to. I didn't get to see JDW play early in the season but heard a lot of reports that he wasn't up to it. So what options did Price have? He blooded plenty of youngsters this year - and with good results ie Quinlan, Runciman, Garvey - but if he's going to have any success at all he needs to fire the boys up. The biggest problem this year was that there didn't seem to be any fire in the belly - forwards not manning up, everybody waiting around for someone (usually Dugan) to pull out a bit of magic, last tackle options were really poor and our attack inside the oppositions 20 was just rubbish. Plenty to work on...

But maybe we should test it on a new poll.
Question: What would dragonreddy do if you called him an idiot to his face?
1. Laugh it off and buy you a beer.
2. Laugh it off then ask you to buy him a beer.
3. Go the Adelaide.
I always go for one of the beer options, but 3. has some merit.
Wasn't there enough evidence earlier in the season that Soward wasn't putting in ,we don't know how bad the relationship was,but people are quick to put sh*t on Price for making the decision.
I backed Price's decision and although we struggled for most of the year,the decision to release Soward was actually for his own benefit as he probably would have spent the remainder of the season in the Cutters.
I couldn't give a stuff how he goes next year,we got good value out of him so we move on.
Sick of players in todays game sulking and wanting release because they don't like the coach,overpaid wankers,let them tell their sobstories to players of the past and they will probably tell them to f#*king wake up to themselves.
I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to hear that I don't agree with you. Price changed everything that worked under Bennett. These changes did not suit the way Soward plays and he could not adjust well enough. The rest is history.
