Tyrell Sloan

[KogarahWarrior]

Agree, young Cambell for the Titans showed us how to play in wet conditions. And he's 10kgs lighter than Sloane. Made our team look stupid.

Making our lot look stupid isn't exactly hard

I like Tyrell's all round ability. He is not merely a catch and run fullback .. the kid also has ball skills. Has shown some of those skills in the few NRL matches he has played.. more so than our two halves. He likes to be around the ball so IMO he'd make a good playmaking inside back too. Even with his small frame he manages to slip thru defenses using his slick footwork. Imagine the damage he'd do with some added bulk.

It appears Sloan has activated his Instagram after deactivating his account and has unfollowed the Dragons is this a sign?

If Sloan walks Griffin should be out the same door.

Hook has to back him in now and pick, stick and learn - his hand is forced after this blowback.

Hook's treatment of Sloan borders on the criminal- he's lost me.

Young Campbell is told to play footy like he always has. Poor Sloan is good to play defence and not try anything.

He is also 3 years older and had a proper development path through reserves because the QCup didn’t cancel seasons like NSW Cup did.

 

[redVinme]

Are we smelling a late change. You know the drags way. That'll throw em off!

Keeping Sloan out of media.

If not hook can f**k right off. He's clearly out of touch with the modern day and what impact being dropped will cause.

Sure he made some errors but the question is would he of if we just stuck with him through the last 4/5 rounds!?

Right on ....... Good point .....

 

[coastiedragon]

Come on pick the kid I think the best way to learn nrl is playing nrl yeh go back to cup and play which I think he is above but cut him from nrl for some mistakes he probably won't do in cup how do you Learn. But sims,McCullough.lawrie.sharon. can f**k up every week and get there jerseys

If Sloan is curled up in the fatal position over being dropped then he hasn’t the temperament for 1st grade. He’s got an early ( and brutal ) lesson about social media on the weekend but you don’t have to look too far in the team to see who’s copped similar treatment from the corporate media in the past. They stuck by deBelin , they stuck by Benny Hunt and for sure they’ll stick by Tyrell.

He's 19 mate.

He's 19 mate.

thats the reason he should be left in first grade . we dont need a world beater in reserves especially when you look at how the reserves team is changed week to week . let sloan develop in the top grade . Okay a couple of clangers last week BUT how many times was he nearly thru a gap so the kids got it .. Maybe like i posted elsewhere "teach him mentor him with the old boys use the old fashioned ball machine drill so he gains confidence . Dont forget the 3 amigos have virtually gone from flegg to 1st grade due to the covid shut down of reserves and our lack of depth in reserves/ firsts . we get flogged in the 2nd half by storm and mbyes defence was horrible but he goes to hooker where his service was terrible . sharon woods is a liability macca too slow and found wanting because of lack of speed BUT no worries lets drop the young kid because he made some errors ( a 19 year old) well giving away 6 agains inside our 20 is just as bad ... Our season is gone so as we all say start / continue building a team for the future .. we dont need sloan to star in reserves and then not be trained to adjust to 1sts .. Coaches and mentors to work with him please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have to keep solid with Sloan, he is a real talent.
A word to the young fellow, keep positive.

He has not been dropped because of his game last week.
It is a welfare decision that the club is putting his personal interest above the game

BLM01,
ok thanks for that info - I trust that the club are talking him through things so he comes back bigger and better

There is a vast, vast difference between corporate media and the sewer that is social media.

Yes, the corporate stuff ain’t that flash.

But if the corporate media behaved like trolls on social media, they’d have their licences stripped quicker than you can say ‘contract extension for an underperforming dragons coach’

Giving so many idiots a louder megaphone is the massive draw card to social media

Totally agree he should be picked next week 100% and leave him there.

The kid is all class.
Let’s get behind him and support him.
Not everyone has a fantastic game each week.
Those bombs that Campbell was kicking would be a nightmare to catch.
Plenty of other fullbacks at Magic Round had trouble with high kicks in the wet as well.
We believe in you Tyrell, don’t read into all the armchair coaches out there.
Stay positive, reflect and learn. Then come out and show everyone what a class act u r, both on and off the field.
You got this

I'd say Sloan is a potential future fullback but ready for first-grade right now.

I'd also say that our coaching staff has not done a good job coaching/training Sloan. Let's bring in a new coaching staff, the experiment with Griffin has failed.

In the next step for Sloan, bring him into first grade as a winger (the new slippery Morris). From there he can gain confidence and maybe switch to fullback at the next opportunity.

Sullivan and Armone are our future halves combo. Ben Hunt needs to move to hooker to give them the opportunity to develop. Yes, Hunt is an experienced halfback but never has been a good game manager.

So I would suggest the following:
1. Hire Flannigan, Barrett and a new defensive coach.
2. Select Matt Feagai as fullback and Sloan on the left-wing.
.3. Select Amone at 6, Sullivan at 7, and Hunt at 9.
4. Let go of our ineffective props prior to June 30 and recruit two top first-grade props to improve the performance of our forward pack.
5. When available, Sims and Su'A should be our edge forwards, De Belin our lock, and Brid out 14..
