Tyrell Sloan

Tyrell Sloan catches the ball on the full thirty metres out and, in one fluid motion, is already running — feet a blur, hips swaying, the defensive line bending and then breaking as he slices through the gap. The young Dragons fullback plays with the kind of speed and attacking instinct that makes coaches stay up at night wondering how to fit more opportunities into his hands. At Kogarah and Wollongong, Sloan has become a fan favourite whose development into a consistent NRL performer is central to everything the Dragons are building. His ability to break the line and create scoring opportunities from the back has been the brightest light in St George Illawarra’s recent story.

His speed, his instinct for the tryline, and his growing confidence under the high ball all point to a player whose best seasons are still ahead. In 2026, Sloan stands as the Dragons’ custodian, a young fullback whose trajectory gives the Red V faithful reason to believe in brighter days.
