St George Illawarra playmaker Jamie Soward has been accused of bad sportsmanship after he refused to shake hands with Canberra players at the end of Monday night's heartbreaking loss.

Soward was one of the first players off Canberra Stadium following the 22-18 defeat. Several Canberra players had not noticed Soward's snub, while others at Tuesday's recovery were bemused by his quick exit.

​

"It was strange he didn't shake hands, but I guess the loss would have been a tough one to swallow," said one player.
Another senior Raider said: "He's a passionate guy and it would have been hard for him.
"Still, one of the first things you're taught when you play footy is you acknowledge the opposition and shake hands after the game."
Soward, who this time last year was playing for NSW in the Origin III decider, has always been animated on the field, often pumping himself up before kick-off.


He leapt for joy when he produced a 40/20 kick in the second half against the Raiders, which eventually led to the first of Mitch Rein's two tries.
When Soward converted Rein's 68th-minute try to make it 18-16, the left-footer thought he had helped end the club's 12-year hoodoo in the nation's capital.
Instead, Canberra hit back with a try with three minutes on the clock and went on to win the game.
As the Raiders players rejoiced, Soward headed for the sideline. Fox Sports footage showed Soward on the far side of the field as his teammates hung around to congratulate the Canberra players.
The Daily Telegraph asked for a comment from Soward via the Dragons, only for the five-eighth to decline the request.
The Dragons Army had no issues with Soward's behaviour, with supporter Peter Trad saying: "It shows he's got passion for the jersey and wants to win."
The team bus could not have pulled out of Canberra quick enough for Soward and the Dragons after their 10th straight defeat against the Raiders.

Classy as always from the Dragons Army :lol:

He really is a petulant little child.

Hook, line, and sinker.

 

[MSIH]

I think they misspelt that Dragon Army members last name.

 

[BunniesMan]

Some people just give you a bad vibe. I've never liked him. I hope the rumours are true and he f**ks off to super league.

 

[Hutty1986]

lol, soft c*ck Spooners strikes again

 

[God-King Dean]

There's a 50/50 chance that Soward is a sook.

Grade 3 Contary Conduct Charge. Should see him miss 2 - 3 weeks.

 

[Earl]

What did the police say when they were informed of this?

 

[Mader45]

Seriously?!?!?!?!

How come no one f*cking says anything when a player getting paid close to $10,000 a game loses and immediately starts laughing it up with the opposition?

As far as I'm concerned that is a million times worse then not controlling your emotions after a game like that.

This.

 

[carcharias]

Hornby should have pushed him for that.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Being emotional to a degree is part and parcel of losing, however to be fair the sook & his supporters should be used to it when playing against the Raiders.

For an athlete sportsmanship is a great determinant of character, so in saying that it's fair to say that Jamie Soward is absolutely piss weak.

 

[legend]

Regardless, he is still a soft c**k and all this does is reinforce what most think of him.

 

[Patorick]

It's not his go.....

 

[Frances the Mute]

Dragons fans have turned petulance into an art form, looks like its finally spread into the Dragons playing group.

Great too see the example it sets for young kids playing and even better is the Dragons fans chuckling about such sportsman ship!

Looks like all the class walked out the door with Wayne Bennett.

This thread has true potential...
