I like many others am wanting to see sloan back in the side, but as other posters have mentioned and I have seen live when Ive watched some of the ressies games, he is still off in defense, seems disinterested and drifts in and out of games. As written above that Griffin is under pressure to pick him in the side, well he would have all the ammunition in the world not to pick him, based on his improvement. Now I dont know whats up with the kid and in no way would I be in that inner sanctum, from the outside looking in he was tauted as the next big thing for the dragons, just about headlining all the TV adverts, the promotional videos for the Dragons and then he gets punted for not being defensively sound, big let down, which to all and sundry may be or not the correct call with other circumstances involved IE really poor weather etc, so on, so on. Now I dont know who is mentoring him, what Shaun Timmins involvement is, but for christ sake someone of some note, Flannagan, Soward anyone tell him he has got to play ressies just like as if he really wants it, and wants back in the NRL. Whilst displaying lethargies on the field indicates he is an unhappy little camper because he has been seeing his name up in lights and now they are not shining anymore. You have to show something especially when the head coach is there. Anyway I take Ramsay as an example, that kid worked his butt off to get back in grade and I feel sorry for him now, in no way did he kick stones or say he was hard done by, just worked hard and let his football do the talking. Its what champions are made of and I couldnt be happier for him. On a final note I cant wait for Sloan to be in that side, he is an elite talent and I want to always remember him for that and not just having an attitude about what is or isnt happening, he just needs to realise that he is playing a game that we all wish we could have played at his level and had 5% of the talent he possess. Good luck son but get your head right and put a smile on your face, enjoy what you love playing.From Foxsports
11. ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS (20, -98)
Run home: Cowboys (H), Sharks (A), Raiders (A), Titans (H), Tigers (A), Broncos (H)
Analysis: The Dragons continued their Jekyll and Hyde season with an upset win over the Sea Eagles in Round 19. The Dragons have had a peculiar season to date having got up for the big occasions only to be belted in other games to give them one of the worst defensive records in the competition. Pressure is on coach Anthony Griffin to recall Tyrell Sloan after the injury to Cody Ramsey. Griffin has tried to play it safe by not picking youngsters Sloan and Jayden Sullivan, while his constant changes in his pack seems to be confusing his players in terms of getting consistent defensive displays. They have a small casualty ward at this stage of the year and Ben Hunt is in the form of his life and a chance to win the Dally M Medal, but given their tough run home the Dragons look like just missing the finals
So for and against is going to kill us unless we jag 4 wins, I think we might do it.

Any idea what his stance is on gay people? Maybe we can wear a rainbow jersey this week and force him to sit out?Woods back?
Why?
We have a very poor record under this ref. 8 wins, 17 losses.Chris Sutton in charge,,he usually
hammeres us.
I assume mbye goes to hooker when the geriatric falls of his perch and Sloan goes to fullbackInteresting side. Assume Sloan will come in at fullback and Mbye to centres, pushing Bird into the back-row given there are 3 middles on the bench. Wonder if that change happens before kick-off or during the game.
Gotta love Manly. They obviously believe their Team played like androtops last week & now make 'em front up in the rainbow jerseys. In similar circumstances we wear the shite all red outfit (& produce results that match it).Any idea what his stance is on gay people?

I fully agree with your sentiments about Tyrell. His expectations when he started the year in first grade against the Warriors was probably the fullback position was his to lose if injured and as we know he only lasted until the end of the round 3 match against the Sharks which was a game in which I think the coach was severe with him and dropped him without any further encouragement.I like many others am wanting to see sloan back in the side, but as other posters have mentioned and I have seen live when Ive watched some of the ressies games, he is still off in defense, seems disinterested and drifts in and out of games.
