The Dragons have allowed local junior Tyrell Sloan to negotiate with rival clubs, raising concerns about their talent development. Sloan, dropped for the Round 17 game against the Eels, can explore options despite being under contract until 2026. The 23-year-old, with 39 tries in 70 NRL games, faces uncertainties due to defensive and high ball issues. Veteran Clint Gutherson's arrival pushed Sloan to the wing to learn before taking back the No.1 jersey. However, coach Shane Flanagan's patience seems to have worn thin. Journalists express disappointment over Sloan's potential not being fully realized at the club. Errors in recent games led to his axing, with pundits highlighting his talent but lack of confidence. The Dragons' struggle to nurture NRL stars, especially in the halves, remains a long-standing issue.
