‘I’m still blamed’: Soward lifts lid on controversial finish that still burns Dogs 15 years later

Bulldogs back-rower Jaeman Salmon never got the chance to go to any of Canterbury’s grand finals when he was growing up.

Salmon was in the stands that night as Luke Patten broke free in the final minute and found a barnstorming Jamal Idris who raced away to snatch what was supposed to be a famous Canterbury victory denied by a penalty after Dragons playmaker Soward was knocked over.The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo.

It was eventually ruled a penalty and the Dragons held on, with Soward still copping it from Canterbury fans almost 15 years later, with the club even posting a poll about the decision on its website back in 2015.“I do love having a bit of fun with the Bulldogs fans over it because it was such a big game. It was Friday night, both teams were going really well, and rightly or wrongly, it’s a moment that people still bring up,” Soward said.
