Ex-NRL Player Reflects on Short Stint

‘Didn’t go to plan’: Super League star opens up on failed Souths stint in honest reveal

Super League standout and former Souths half Lewis Dodd has candidly addressed his disappointing NRL experience.

After establishing himself as a prominent player over five seasons with St Helens, Dodd signed a lucrative three-year contract with the Bunnies starting in 2025.

However, his tenure was short-lived, as he was let go after just one season and a mere six games at the top level.

Now back in the Super League with Catalans Dragons, Dodd has kicked off his 2026 season on a high note.

Following a hard-fought 22-16 victory over Leigh, he took issue with a comment made by Sky Sports' Brian Carney regarding his unfair treatment in the NRL.

"Obviously it didn't go to plan or the way I wanted to, but I've said numerous times now that I wouldn't change it," Dodd stated.

He added, "The experiences and the lessons that I got both on and off the field is making me enjoy my rugby league now so I wouldn't change it."
