Saint Dragon said:Rather Soward then Head.
Soward is young and has a lot of potential even thought he has been sh*thouse lately. A move could be good for him. And at the moment Head doesnt seem to be doing much.
And who honestly cares if we let Luke (Pup) go. What would it matter?
Dragons snap up Rooster reject
May 28, 2007 ST George-Illawarra has signed Jamie Soward after the young halfback was granted an immediate release from NRL club the Sydney Roosters today.
Soward signed a two-year deal with the Dragons and will be available for Friday night's game against Brisbane Broncos at Oki Jubilee Stadium.
Soward has spent the majority of the season playing second-fiddle to teenage halfback Mitchell Pearce at the Roosters, but received a late call-up to replace Pearce against the Sharks on Saturday night.
The 22-year-old supplied the kick for both of the Roosters' tries as the NRL cellar dwellers came from behind to beat the Sharks 13-12 in extra-time.
"Decisions of this nature are always made with the best interests of the player and the club in mind," Roosters chief executive Brian Canavan said.
"We wish Jamie all the best for his future."
SOWARD OFFICIALLY A DRAGON, MACDOUGALL RELEASED
28 May 2007
St George Illawarra today advise that Jamie Soward has officially joined the Club until the end of 2008 and Luke MacDougall has been released.
The Dragons have been impacted by long-term injury and rehabilitation problems in the halves in 2007 and Soward, having been released from the Sydney Roosters will help fill this void.
MacDougall, 25, has been released from the Dragons and will join his brother Adam at the Newcastle Knights.
“Jamie is a talented play-maker who will be a ‘boost’ for our Club,” said Dragons Chief Executive Officer Peter Doust. “Unfortunately we have suffered injuries within our halves this season and to make way for another, we had to let an outside back go.
“Newcastle were looking for an outside back so we agreed to let Luke go,” added Doust. “We wish Luke well and welcome Jamie to the Dragons”.
