Tyrell Sloan

[BLM01]

Think Dufty, could make a good, backline utility Opption. Bring him on after 30min.See if he can sniff out a try.

That has been tried. He does not get involved when playing that role

 

[Dragon David]

Thank you DD! I know you are a loyal Dragon!

Hi Saint Pete

Any chance you can let us know more of Tyrell?

 

[getsmarty]

Can the Mods please merge this with the other Tyrell sloan thread which was already in place. Thanks in Advance.

 

[Saint Pete]

I am a very staunch Dragon supporter Saint Pete and I'm thinking you are as well.

How do you think we will go for the rest of the year?

Well Dragon Dave, I think the remaining draw gives us a chance! I would qualify that by saying we need a few stipulations:- 1. We must have DeBelin and Lomax in the team. 2. Hunt must take on the line. 3. Dufty must be in good attacking form! If those 3 conditions apply - we can be top 5!

Thanks for your input Saint Pete. I would have to add that our forwards need to fire from now until the last game and all of the players maintain better security of the ball, an eye to detail, minimise mistakes and 6 agains. A lot I know but essential if we are to be in the finals.

Tyrell has had a go in first grade and he did well but I'm sure that Hook is going to bring him on slowly and get him ready for 2022.

Can’t wait to see this kid run out again for us against Manly.

That was last year, maybe he's learned something from Hook?

He may have but hooks not waiting around to find out.As other parts have not sunk in

Why is Dufty getting dropped or suspended for this one?
Some media person I think Chammas? can’t remember.. let that same cat out if the bag
Hmmm who is leaking this stuff!

Yep I’m backing Tyrell to play well, first game nerves will be gone & he can get more involved.

 

[Kolum Kid]

And he didn't disapoint.
Gives me someone to look will forward to watching. Now bring on the young halves.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Sloan is proving to be a great player and someone to look forward to in the future that is for sure. He is definitely justifying the decision by Saints with each game he plays. He has only played 2 games remember so he has a lot to learn. Well done Tyrell.

 

[Saints Forever]

So far after 2 NRL games, when comparing Tyrell to Matt Dufty, Tyrell has proven to be:


safer under the high ball

Positionally better when difusing short kicks into our in goal area

better at backing up the ball carrier

better defender in a one on one situation

He is also slightly heavier and has similar speed.

Can’t remember the last time we scored from a long range punt like that. He showed great pace and poise to put Beale in for his try.

100% agree. It’s time for Norman to step aside his goal line defence is terrible.

I would be prone next week to try Dufty at 5/8 at least for a half w say Bird to jump in to 5/8 if it goes pear shaped...keep sloan fullback..

we need to look to next year
I would just do Sullivan as he is likely the future
or Amone , although I tuned in late last night and didnt see him (if he was playing)

Sloan will be rocks and diamonds for a while but hopefully more diamonds than dufty was

 

[Simon Templar]

In the game yesterday against Manly he looked like Changa with his running style.

Agree, but Dufty is a better / brilliant ball player, probably a bit more elusive and has more speed off the mark. Anyway, we’ve moved on from Dufty and Sloan looks a more rounded player on initial glance.

Our 5/8th (Norman) is not a great ball player and nor is our Hooker. I really hope Sullivan or Amone have a kicking game because both can ball play and both have a running game.

Dufty ball playing wasn't that good in his first year.
Sloan can ball play and has played a lot of 5/8, has a kicking game too.
Amone and Sullivan have kicking games too.

As I said elsewhere- 2 games and I am a fan of Sloan!
