  • Tyrell Sloan.

    Tyrell Sloan has been given permission to negotiate with other clubs. He'd be a great depth signing at the right price and can play fullback or on the wing. Great player on his day however struggles to perform consistently at a high standard. The right coach and environment could fix this!

    Next season is most likely Marky Marks final year as he's contemplating the 2027 Rugby World Cup. Toops and Teddy are also moving closer to retirement with their current contracts expiring at the end of next season.

    He's worth considering imo especially if the price is right!

    His defence is poor and is also suspect under the high ball - I would prefer to continue to promote within and give him a miss.

      Not getting on with Shane Flanagan is not necessarily a bad thing.

        He's only 23. Can improve under Robinson, so might be worth a punt. Hell, they punted on Smith and Young, so why not Sloan?
        1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
        1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

          Melbourne have got their eye on him.
          Watch him become a much improved player under their system.

          Dragons system is farked. They've produced the likes of Robson, Saab and Garrick to name a few, who have kicked on elsewhere LOL.

            Yeah I’d definitely take him. For this season, would be great cover , can cover fullback and wing. Electric pace. Very raw. Plenty of deficiencies in his game that can be worked on. He’s effectively a much cheaper Dom Young.

            Dont think he’d sniff a starting spot here for next season but if he is happy to develop in our system and be a depth player then 100% would look at getting him in. I think given he was dropped only 2-3 weeks ago and they’ve come to terms on an immediate release means he likely won’t accept being in reserve grade and is looking for a starting spot which we couldn’t give him.

              he's a seriously good talent but can't see how we fit him in

                We just cut a winger who struggles defensively and under the high ball. Do we need another?

                Exciting player and great on his day. I just think his good days are rare.

                  Agreed, think we need to stay away from these luxury players for a little while.

                  Blake Wilson or Albert Hopoate are the two I'd be interested in if we can pick up for a good price.

                    Big No from me!! Apart from running fast he is worse than Dom Young in defence and actually appears to be scared of physical contact.

                    And on field he carries on like a bit of knob, so he wouldn't fit our culture either.

                      Sounds like a tigers type of signing.

                          Lets just let our pathways & academy keep on doing what its doing & let some other club buy him.

                            Marky leaving to play rugby?
                            Please tell me that's not true.
                            Please tell me he's not "Suaalii mk2".

                            Sloan?
                            Not very good at tackling?

                              No I think may make it at an average club but more then likely super league bound soon I’d say
