Recruitment & Retention 2027

Just heard from a mate that Sloan definitely off to Castleford Tigers. There was a chance that he remained on the books but was offered pittance and the Tigers deal much better so that is it - no more Sloan and I doubt that he would come back to the Dragons in that the Club won't sign him up again.

Thank Suli for not taking the offer from England. I hope he enjoys reserve grade next year and then let's see how much ESL clubs are willing to pay him.

I must say though that Sloan, while he was our best for scoring tries in 2026, he didn't really bring much else to our position on the ladder. I think that Sami scored 15 in 2026 and ended up the highest try scorer for the Titans overcoming Anthony Don's all-time club record. So with Sami, I am happy we have signed him. I don't think Sloan will be terribly missed.

Analysis = true

But I would prefer Sloan signed for next year than Suli.

There was a massive change in Sloan over the season … start of the season was terrible but last 7-8 rounds he was massively different

We can’t say that Sloan is a bloke who needed a mentor/ciach and conveniently ignore who he became when young actually stepped into that role
