How could clown 🤡 flannagan sign Sloan for 3 seasons, then realise he stuffed up on Sloan. Wtf is going on there. It was under Flanno he signed and a 3 year deal meant flanno had zero doubts that Sloan would be in the top 13 .
Let's face it, flannagan buggered that up


Why would cobbo want to come here??

‘From what I can find, “Tyrell Sloan's most recent contract was signed with the St George Illawarra Dragons. In June 2024, the club announced that Sloan had agreed to a two-year extension, keeping him with the team until at least the end of the 2026 NRL season”. So it’s actually only 2026 that’s the problem. I think we all had high hopes for him but it takes 2 to tango, the club delivered however …..

Your right Corrimal, Sloane should have been given a 12mth extension if they needed more time to access. I always doubted his commitment to put his body on the line.
It was ashamed with Ramsey situation but hopefully he can put some bulk on to play first grade.

This Sloan debacle (like many other spine players before him) has wider ramifications. It says to every young player and their family, if you've got talent, don't go to the Dragons, they can't improve your game. Go somewhere else.
Nonsense. Hamish Stewart and Dylan Egan have thrived under Flanno. Couchman has come along well. Stewart already brought into Origin camp in his debut year. Sloan’s performances are on him. His fault alone.
Dragons might have trouble recruiting players but it has nothing to do with the nonsense you’re babbling on about.

Spine players.

Who are the 'spine' players we've trained and retained in the last 15 years into regular first graders?

It’s not about that, a coach’s best asset is being a good man manager, he doesn’t coach he oversees, but if there not all in, they won’t play for him!!
There's an old saying you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Most individuals don't have the rare combination of the physical potential and the mind set to make it in the NRL no matter how hard they try. They should be weeded out early in the recruitment/development phase, I don't think this has happened at the dragons. No amount of coaching will make some individuals NRL ready.

Let me remind you the current coach extended him
I also think Sloan will do well under a coach who has the ability to give confidence to a player
Most of this team are shit scared to showcase their natural talent for fear of error
Its a robotic team playing a 2016 brand of footy
Unfortunately the game has moved on from this style and as our results have reflected in the last two years we are at the bottom for a reason
We are the slowest backline in the comp and our backline can be best described like when you walk into the gym and see the row of walkers on the treadmill mills
We had one speed guy but unfortunately he was too fast for the rest and our 2016 methodology has decided to give him permission to go
Well he will flourish elsewhere and this mastermind will be watching him from his lounge chair soon
I think he will flourish at another club. It always happens to us!!

Yes, I was dreaming. He will not come here, just using us to up the price, probably.
