Sloan is just one player who will depart the club, with the Dragons undergoing a major overhaul with a number of new faces landing next season.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen if off-contracts players Blake Lawrie, Christian Tuipulotu, Hame Sele and Nathan Lawson will be re-signed.<\/p>\n
Regardless, Luke Keary was certain Sloan had the ability to be a success in the Super League, possessing electric speed.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll do fantastic over there,\u201d he said on Fox League.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen the likes of Bevan French and Jai Field go over there. He\u2019s got speed to burn. He\u2019ll have a lot of space over there where he can play.\u201d<\/p>\n

PAPS SHUTS DOWN NRL RETURN<\/p>\n
Ryan Papenhuyzen has emphatically denied he\u2019ll be returning to the NRL anytime soon.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old shocked the sport when he walked away from his Storm contract during the off-season with a year to run on the deal.<\/p>\n
Since, Papenhuyzen\u2019s future has been a source of on-and-off speculation. <\/p>\n
The latest rumour doing the rounds is that the Bulldogs are considering a possible play for Papenhuyzen, which journalist Paul Kent revealed on his \u2018Kenty Blitz\u2019 podcast.<\/p>\n
However, the former Storm fullback more or less shut that down as well as a couple of other sources of speculation he\u2019s heard regarding a potential comeback<\/p>\n
Papenhuyzen is currently holidaying in the US but will return to Australia in the coming days.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just don\u2019t know where people keep getting it from to be honest,\u201d Papenhuyzen said on his One Six Seven podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was James Graham who said at the start of the year that I\u2019d back in June. It\u2019s July and I\u2019m in the US so you do the math. That\u2019s one that\u2019s also wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also denied any links to the Perth Bears, an unnamed Sydney club and breakaway rugby union competition Rugby 360.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot true,\u201d Papenhuyzen firmly replied when asked about those three rumours specifically.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just not playing footy again.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s also other rumours about flag football and rugby sevens at the Olympics. But no to those as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dragons are set to lose another star to the Super League, with Tyrell Sloan reportedly agreeing to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":509281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-509280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/509281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
