Sloan

[since77]

Show Sloan how good Josh Adocarr is then put him on the wing.
Sloan is a winger.

I would actually be very interested in experimenting with Sloan on the wing.

Ado Carr right from his early years has always dodged that first tackle.. he rarely got lifted and carried.. thats the piece that all the elusive lightweight fullbacks have.. Sloan doesnt have it.. he cant be a winger unless there is massive weight gain in the next 1-2yrs to the point he can run over defenders and have the strength to pull out of tackles..

For me hes a 1 or maybe a 6, but probably a 1 or nothing..

He doesnt have a step. So either fullback or right wing for his right foot 45deg step.

He has a fair right hand fend, but if he is on the left wing with no step he will have to bulk up to run over and will lose speed.

Fullback or right wing only option really.

As we all know, next season will be vital for Sloan.How much improvement & physical growth he has got to go will be revealed. Don’t know how anybody can say either way what he will be. It’s all pure conjecture at present.

Try that in reserve grade. Go for Teddy as our first-grade fullback. We can't afford another season with Sloan at fullback.

We should have bought Teddy when he left the tigers. You can thank the St George side of the JV for deciding that they preferred Dufty.

He’s no longer worth the money.

Holmes can but a fullback
but also
Cory Allen is still on our books.

The key is to atleast have 2 options for every position.. but the Hunt situation could be a real doozie if Flanno changes his mind about still relying on him in 2025...

There is a Sloan that comes out when we r chasing points, his urgency goes up.. and he starts supporting more intensely.. perhaps he cant keep that up for long periods, and perhaps it mostly works when defence is tired.. but thats rly what a fullback should be doing... we have plenty of blokes who can poke a nose through.

We were obviously practicing a lot of no look offload plays with LKT and Sloan.. which came off sometimes.. I guess atleast we were trying something, but I reckon we should be able to look before throwing most of these passes... bit of an all or nothing play.. and it was the errors early that once again knocked us out of the game.
