Running It Straight: Dragons great Jamie Soward
Sport Nation • May 6th, 2026 10:40 am

The NZ Warriors head into the bye week riding high after a dominant road performance, dismantling the Parramatta Eels 36–14 on their home turf in one of their most complete displays of the season.
With no game on the schedule, there’s no team list to dissect and no selection headaches to debate, but that doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of storylines.
On this week’s episode of Running It Straight, the focus shifts across the ditch to former Premiership winner Jamie Soward.
The Dragons great reflects on St George Illawarra’s 2010 title winning side, drawing comparisons to the club’s current struggles, while also offering his thoughts on the potential of Tanah Boyd and Chanel Harris-Tavita as the Warriors’ halves partnership.
Back on the home front, it wouldn’t be an episode without Sam Hewat bringing the heat.
This week, his frustration is aimed squarely at the “flawed” Dally M Medal voting system, following Jackson Ford being overlooked for points despite another strong showing.
