For starters Fox scribe, Jack is a specialist lock not a prop and is both the soul of our club and forward enforcer. I expect Jack tired of being unfairly left out of rep footy since being exonerated so took probably his final offer to play international footy. Good on him. I will be tuning in to see Jack lift the Kumuls so they are more than competitive in their matches. After all, they did give the PM13 a few anxious moments without him.

The Koori Knockout! Is that the dark place Flanno was referring too?

Maybe he can teach them tag team
Btw I do like jack although the way he disgraced himself and his poor pregnant wife not to mention hiding under the bed in the Covid bque fiasco brought him down several notches in my book.
Also he was only exonerated as it was basically his word against hers
Anyway it is what it is and we move on

Sloan only 8 to 10 weeks, won't miss much of the pre season

and dont forget that players dont start until nov 1 so 3 weeks will be gone before preseason officially starts ...

You can be that the keen players would have already started, getting a jump ahead of the squad.

In addition whenever they play their last international game they have a mandatory 6-8 week holiday as per RLPA rules depending on a number pre seasons done etc.
Sloan could not of started till mid Nov at the earliest.

 

[redv13]

Really it’s just the journo’s trying to cause issues with a bit of a non event. He played in the PM 13 match so really he won’t be back to official training till the end of November. A bit of a non story to be honest

Dragons fullback suffers potential MAJOR injury

St George Illawarra Dragons fullback Tyrell Sloan has potentially suffered a major injury during the Koori Knockout tournament.

Just what we don’t need

Hmm Lomax may get the call up now

I don't doubt Lomax will train at and may well play some fullback in 2024.
Still thinking C Tracey is the preferred option for number 1 next year, but remains dependant on getting a release from the Sharks.

Hope you are right as Lomax can be and should be a very good centre as more suited there
He can make that position his own for us for a long time like Cooper once he gets better coaching and confidence

 

[redandwhite4evr]

but it will keep him out of the ring, and that is in my opinion is what he needs to toughen him up, learn to take a bit of pain and keep his eyes open when he has to make a tackle

Well- we have( or had) the current PNG full-back (Treigh Stewart) who played against Sloan recently. Anyone got an update on his contract status?

Terrible news for the young bloke, gone for ten weeks.

At least it's early however, disrupted start doesn't help him.

 

[justadragon]

I think Lomax was always going to get the call up, no matter how Sloan was going to improve, if he does under Flanno, you just cant let 2-3 try's in a game, its unacceptable no matter what position you play let alone FB. I hope he comes back better than ever but on the wing.

True, but in the modern game there's an expectation of turning up to pre-season training already fit, or at least in good condition. Whichever way you look at it he'll be well behind the 8 ball when he's finally signed off by the medical team to start training. That'll make it a lot harder for Flanagan to work on his contact. Very disruptive for the kid and I feel for him.

Sloan has had enough chances… this latest injury from playing in an unsanctioned tournament will severely hamper his preseason and development heading into next season and should be enough to jettison him and pursue a more dependable fullback

your100% correct, flanno had made it clear sloans next physical activity should be in a boxing ring not a football field

 

[dragon thomo]

Spot on Twinkletoes.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

But I don’t know where all the hype comes from Re Tracey

Is mean he was a very exciting prospect at 18yrs old

He has gone on to have 3 ACL recons

A high probability of not getting through a season
