Sloan

[KogarahWarrior]

His catching under pressure improved enormously last year. In fact, he is as reliable as anyone now. His tackling has improved a lot too but sometimes he seems to be one step behind in cover.

I agree mate. Some of his try savers were impressive last year. That one he made on Kini at the backend of 2024 was really good. Definitely wouldn't have made it earlier in his career, let alone earlier that season

One thing is for sure - this is absolutely the final year that Sloan will survive on potential alone. He either sinks or swims in '25.
I hope he swims as I had high hopes for him a few years back but I'm not confident......

Captain Hunt Vs Captain Gutherson over the a number of seasons. Pretty bleak stats from Captain Hunt. Shows who is a leader and who ISN'T.

Just shows how low our playing roster was with very limited captaincy choices

Puff piece if I’ve ever seen one.
Generational talent?
Righto, let’s see it then.

Sloan, 30 tries in 59 games. Blacklock, 114 tries in 100 games. Gutho laying it on a bit thick.

Yeah mate, generational talent that’s been dropped back to reserve grade a couple of times already?
Meanwhile Reece Walsh, same age, same generation has played 2 years of Origin.

Just to play devils advocate. Dylan Edwards had the same thing happen to him multiple times in his early career. He was almost moved on because Penrith were in favour in Charlie Staines at fullback. Now I’m not saying Sloan could be Dylan Edwards quality but let’s give him a chance with proper coaching and mentorship from Gutho. He showed improvement last season if he can continue the trajectory he could become first grade quality

Reece Walsh also struggles with the defensive part of the game.
