Looks like player power got the better of him. Burgess was right after all

He is called Trueman

John Davidson reporting Jamie Soward. Wild appointment

I don't think I could come up with a more random appointment if I tried.
See what happens I suppose.

Davidson just throws darts until he gets one right, awful journalist.

Not happening, he’s not even been mentioned by anyone at the club. Davidson ran the drinkwater story after Fitzpatrick had basically said he was going nowhere.

Let's hope not. Has hardly had a stellar coaching career

In 2021, he joined the St. George Illawarra coaching staff as a kicking coach. That year he was also named as the 2022 St. George Illawarra NRL Women's Premiership team head-coach.[60]

On 20 September 2023, he was appointed as head-coach of Samoa Women for the forthcoming end-of-year Pacific Championships[61]

50% win ratio. Something we can only dream of.

Davidson said he's a 'surprise candidate'

Can't believe we're even considering him tbh

I don't think Myler would dare make such a risky appointment as his first coaching appointment.
I mean I know every option comes either risks, and Briers would carry a degree of risk, but at least he has some positive press around him and has been in some good, winning environments. Soward is coaching a women's team and seemingly a not that great one.
Think Myler knows we need at least a good level assistant coach.

He was a great player but this would be a brave and random appointment. As random as appointing Myler as DoR, I suppose.

To be fair, it could just be as simple as Soward contacted the club to say he's interested, and we gave him an interview/had talks with him out of courtesy.

We aren’t.
