Played over 50 first grade games, plenty of speed very talented and can play multiple positions ready to find his potential in the right team and I'd imagine at a bargain price.. Definately more upside then a few of the flops we have now! Do we try and sign him?

Like what's the idiot playing centre oh Russel like him?
You'd move Lomax to centre if anything.
Whatever position he wants.
So let me get this straight, you have issues with Penisini due to his defence and errors, but are happy with Sloan who is worse in both areas?
Can you please bring up stats over the last two years in tries scored.. both are shit in defence but least give him a chance in a new system.
All well and good scoring 2 if you give up 3 in the process as well giving back possession more often. Plus one plays Centre and one plays Wing, on average how many more tries to Wingers score compared to Centre? That arguement is a poor one.
Penis gives away momentum killers the team usually score 5 tries against us, his partner dumber can't pass the ball bombs at least 3 tries a game.
Penisini could cure cancer and you would still bitch and moan about him.
If you had to pick two players from either Sloan, Russell and Penisini... I think Sloan will be one of the two you'd pick. All three have their deficiencies but there's one thing you can't coach, and that's speed.
You could be easily move Lomax in the centres with a license to roam and do his thing in attack and have Sloan on the wing. With the right coaching and style of play, he could be a real X factor out wide. Imagine having two race horses in JAC and Sloan on the wings.
I do not have a big issue with Sloan, defensive is a big issue. But i have an issue with people abusing Penisini when Sloan is worse and is the golden child. Plus we do not need Wingers, Lomax and JAC are fine. If you need Centres, i think forwards are more important than focusing on Centres, then Sloan is not the one.
You cannot teach speed but is it worth it if he lets in 2 tries and gives the ball back more than most players?
If Lomax could play the roaming role why did Ryles move him? He can do that now with Russell playing Wing.
If we did sign Sloan we could do worse, but just find it hilarious that his deficiencies are fine when worse than those who get abused.
