NRL Podcast: Soward sums up the season ahead

Jamie Soward knows what it takes to win a Telstra Premiership with the St George Illawarra Dragons. He thinks big-name signing Ben Hunt can do the same – just not this year.

Hunt signed a multi-million-dollar contract to leave Brisbane and join the Dragons until at least the end of 2022.

''It's going to take time,'' Soward told the NRL Podcast. 

''The thing I like about Ben Hunt is he's a game manager. [He] comes there with a big price tag, big expectations from Dragons fans.''

Soward also gives his theory on who should play fullback for Parramatta, who he thinks is the team beat in 2018 and who will be the winners in round one.
