Tyrell Sloan to undergo surgery, worst fears confirmed
It will cause a significant disruption in his pre-season training.
The worst fears have been confirmed for St George Illawarra Dragons fullback Tyrell Sloan after he suffered a major injury during the Koori Knockout tournament.
After meeting with surgeons, it has been confirmed that Sloan underwent the knife on Friday after suffering a syndesmosis injury last weekend.
The confirmation from News Corp reports that the 21-year-old is aiming to start light running in early December as he faces a recovery time period of up to ten weeks hampering his pre-season for the 2024 season.
It is bad news for Dragons fans and officials as the injury is a major disruption for his pre-season. A pre-season that incoming coach Shane Flanagan made no secret to provide the fullback his most important pre-season to date.
This isn’t the first time this year that injury has disrupted Sloan. Earlier in the year, he missed a month of football due to a small calf strain.
Incoming coach Shane Flanagan has made it no secret in the past that he aims to provide Sloan with an important pre-season as he and Zac Lomax contend for the number one jersey at the Dragons for the 2024 season.
Departed Dragon confirms new club as career continues
He has confirmed a switch of clubs.
The Warrington Wolves have confirmed the signature of released St George Illawarra Dragons forward Zane Musgrove on a two-year deal.
The move will see the prop make the move to England for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, where he will take up one of the international quota spots for new coach Sam Burgess.
Burgess, who is preparing for his first season in charge of the Wolves, has been constantly linked with a pursuit of NRL talent as he looks to refresh the side.
Musgrove, who has played 78 NRL games across his time at the St George Illawarra Dragons, Wests Tigers and South Sydney Rabbitohs, was a teammate of Burgess at South Sydney and said he was looking forward to working with the new coach.
“I’ve heard all positive things about the club and I’m really looking forward to getting over to the UK,” he said in a club statement.
“I’ll be linking up with Sam [Burgess] again and that’s going to be exciting as I think he’ll get the best out of me.
