Jamie Soward - Our best ever player? : Sun Sep 08, 2013 4:57 pm  

Not many players could have done what he has. Made a team of easy beats into a team of fighters.

For me one of our best if not the best. TO JS, all the best, you now have a London legion of fans!

Well said!

I said this to him at our last home game and thanked him for coming to London and showing the team how to play with pride and passion. What could we have achieved if he had been here all season. I was slated when I said Gower was not the man for London but I think Jamie has proved me right. Thank you Jamie for everything. You're stay has been short but you will always be welcome back if we survive as a club. You join a band of legends along with Peter Gill, Jason Hetherington, Jimmy Dymock and of course the one and only Steele Rechless. Once again thank you Jamie for giving us fans back the club pride

I would add McLinden & Purdo to that list

It's between him and Scott Hill for me.

I understand the euphoria, and Mr Soward has certainly worked some magic over a few games this season. But it's a little premature to rate him up with Gill, Retchless, Matterson, Dymock and so on. Lets not get over excited; its not exactly a Grand Final win ( I confess, my glass is half empty rather than half full).

It's not just today's win, it's the transformation that we've seen since 28 minutes into our home game with Salford, excluding of course the horror of the CC SF at Wigan.

Best ever player though? We'd need a full season of him before I'd say that.

best player is stretching it!
No doubt a class player, no doubt a leader and inspirational, but not difficult to stand out in this team.
2 wins! Bradford and KR neither really had anything top play for.
Excellent player but a long way off "our best ever"

Maybe he looked so good coz the rest were so bad? The other players mentioned on here had better players around them!
