Ample opportunities? Ha! Ilias only got 7 games of which the team won 3. After that with the coach’s son at half they won just 5 from 17.

I understand your Frustration But I think the stats would have been worse for Ilias .
Shit me if Bennet doesnt want, DONT TOUCH!

7 games and he shit the bed in most of them. Especially the ones we needed our halfback to win us the game. Souths and Parra games. 7 games was ample opportunity. He couldn't do it at Souths and he backed that up with us. He isn't NRL standard.

This better be bullshit.

If Sloanne is getting his are whooped at training what hope does he have

Must be another quiet news day for The Mole.
Everyone here knows Sloan is on the outer at the Dragons.
Whilst he has got a contract and wants to stay, nothing will change in the short to medium term.
A new signing training on the wing during the off season is such a non news story.

 

[TheRev]

We must have a lot of dragons blokes clicking and commenting on the moles articles (exactly what he wants), cause he just spams anything he can think of dragons related.. doesnt even care if its accurate ot not.. the more clickbait the better... I make sure not to click anything of his.

Be very disappointing if Sloan is still 1 of our 2 first choice wingers in 2026.. one of Tu or Fale should be pushing.. and were still chasing an outside back yet. Not sure on CT's situation. I know its seen as harsh but were moving on from Sloan, the sooner he moves on (UK or otherwise), the sooner we can bring in the next young gun fullback into the 30.

Yet his replacement could only win 5 from the next 17. A lot of shitting the bed indeed.

i think that there are a few layers
the injury toll was equal worst in the comp and most happened after the first 5/6 rounds
not much between Kyle and Lach really exceot goal Kicking once holmes was out is a non ngotiable....minimal as we all know but less was worse

the aim though is for better and neither will win a comp

nor will no one coming in 2026 besides Atko

in Atko we trust or will he be the next whipping boy ?

Can you imagine he plays average firsst 6 rounds Atko.......the hopes of the forum will blow up and we will be re posting this chat rrrrrrrrr

it will be a swamp

 

[Pleasehelpstillchoking]

He would be a good addition to our pack. More than likely won't hapoen though.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

i think we have to way up injury prone also vs he definitely is an impact player and appears to have found his form at the Storm a top4 team that owns field position most weeks

Bore two ACL recos
Couchman x 1
Egan x 1
Gutho x 1

thats 3 forwards in your best 17

there are so many layers to keeping your best on the pitch vs sidelined with no impact to help the cause

Fair call, I wasn't aware he'd had two. I liked his style of play with the Storm last year.

dont feel we need more second rowers

 

[rasaint]

I understand that Tyrell Sloan may be on the outer ( club n this forum). He has scored 47 tries in the NRL from 79 games. That is top level scoring rate. A number of tries are due to his blistering speed. Having that extra gear in a dash to the corner against cover defence is a great asset. So we off load him and keep slow wingers….ok.

unless Sua signs with the Bears ? 2027

 

[TheRev]

Even if Sua goes end of 2026... by March 2027.... there are 3 young 2nd rowers ready to go in Nick, Egan and Jacob with CST in tow.. 2 couchies can play there also.. its really the 'only' position we are genuinely well covered.

His defence hasn't improved.... costs us too many points....
