“It’s concerning for St George Illawarra fans that it’s got to this point,” The Daily Telegraph’s David Riccio said on
SEN 1170 Breakfast.
“It’s no shock because we saw Sloan virtually sidelined this year.
“We saw him appear at the back end of the season playing off the bench (and) it was almost as though head coach Anthony Griffin was trying to keep Sloan happy.
“Sloan will request a formal release from St George Illawarra this week.
“He has two years remaining on his contract and he re-signed in January.”
Dragons coach Anthony Griffin controversially dropped the St George Illawarra junior after only three rounds and his player management is the sticking point in Sloan’s potential departure.
Sloan wants to play under a coach he believes he can benefit from, Riccio said.
There you go. This is what I have said. Hook isn't the coach to make Sloan a better player nor is Hook able to get any other youngster up there (except for maybe Amone) and I thought that one of the reasons why Hook was appointed head coach was because of his ability to do more with bringing through the youth. I suppose though if given a bit more time, Hook might have helped but by the sound of things he hasn't after 2 years at the club. Same could be said for Bud Sullivan.
Hook just isn't the answer to not only these issues but so many more that in the time he has left with us isn't going to get us into the finals.
