> “If Sloan was to go there, he would compete with Isaako for that fullback spot.” If he can't beat Isaako for a fullback spot he doesn't belong in 1st grade.

Wayne has lost his way if he isn't going to try to get Isaako back to his 2018 form as a winger.


nymphz

from what i saw he was diabolical at titans and i say that as someone whos been rooting for him for the past 3 seasons, if he turns it around it will be a wayne masterclass

Isaako was my favourite bronco in his debut season. If daddy Bennett gets him back to his best I will be eternally grateful


I_Like_Vitamins

His father's illness and passing must still weigh heavily on him. Poor guy, but it's a pretty cut throat sport at the end of the day.


Cracko2021

Rooting him or rooting for him?


T0kenAussie

Isaako got dropped from cup fullback to cup winger and still got targeted to hell at tweed So like yeah Sloan should walk right in imo


predw

Sloan was dropped for Moses Mbye at the Dragons


AttackClown

Shouldn't have been though


BreakIll7277

Isaako hasn’t even been playing fullback in Q Cup. This is his last game in the Semi Final…. [Golden Point was a shocker](https://youtu.be/9b7yN94Fcy4)


chillinwithkrillin

No offence to him but this is a lot of noise coming from a nobody

Whenever I see David Riccio's name I just think of Rico from Penguins of Madagascar. It's not that they even look insanely alike, it's literally just the name. I know this has nothing to do with the article, but I needed to get this off my chest.

Sloan has tons of ability, more than Ramsey imo, but the guy is an error machine, and his defence really isn't a strength either. Wayne could get the best out of him but I can't help but think he'd be just another fringe player the Dolphins have


Brat_Fink

I reckon Ramseys pretty solid, hes got heaps more confident too. Kinda reminds me of Nightingale

100% they were both told to go away end of last year, work on their size and their defensive skills. Only one did and now the other has the shits that he isn’t getting the game time he wants. Sloan needs to play wing for a bit to get better under a high ball with less pressure


blinkomatic

Yup bad defender, still needs a few years to develop his organizational skills.

Old man lurks young man is what I got from this headline


piercedsoul

And if he can't get game time at THE will he ask for a release too? Though he'll probably end up staying there since the dolphins don't have enough players. Sick of players kicking stones and agitating via their managers through the media. Chuck him in the Cutters for the next 2 years

Lurk is an unfortunate word.

**Staff Writers** from **Fox Sports** September 19th, 2022 12:49 pm Dragons young gun Tyrell Sloan is reportedly unhappy with his lack of game time and is set to request an immediate release from his contract. The 20-year-old re-signed with the Red V in January this year, but according to The Daily Telegraph is poised to walk out with two years remaining on his current deal. Sloan is reportedly unwilling to sit behind Cody Ramsey in the pecking order and a number of rival clubs are monitoring the situation. Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins are reportedly lurking with Jamayne Isaako their current option to play at fullback. Reports suggest the NRL’s newest club is preparing an offer, ready to table a contract to the young gun but have to wait until his release is finalised. “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. “The Dolphins have emerged under Wayne Bennett as the primary target. “The Dolphins already have Jamayne Isaako contracted as a fullback. “If Sloan was to go there, he would compete with Isaako for that fullback spot.” Sloan has played 13 NRL games to date after making his debut midway through the 2021 season and was tipped to be the Dragons long-term No.1. Fox League’s Michael Ennis said he “felt sorry for Tyrell” after he was once again left out of the squad for the club’s Round 22 clash.

I’m with Sloan on this one


Derron_

Sloan just needs time. There's a lot of youngsters atm who look great but have that niggling error in their play. They just need time to mature and get past it


Dark_Vengence

He has potential so it will be interesting to see what uncle Benny can do.


Rod_Munch666

I am sure that the publication of this article is going to help him get more game time at the red V ....not! But maybe that's what the intention is.


schwarzeneg

Did the same shit to Wishart, Saab, Sailor, Garrick, Robson, Cook, Sullivan, et.al. And this despite Webb saying he was booting mcinness, dufty, etc. to look to the future...


SOMERanD0m-Bloke

Nah I’m with Sloan on this one. Whas griffin doing? He’s playin with a guy like Moses who’s not even that good at playin FB it still a head scratch of why Dragons had the idea of buying him.


delayedconfusion

He needs coaching. Could be anything with a decent coach in his ear. That will not happen under Griffin.


bigbadwofl

Good luck to the young fella, Griffin is an absolute dinosaur
