St George Illawarra fullback Tyrell Sloan says tough conversations with coach Shane Flanagan made him realise that he needed to make big changes to fulfil his undoubted potential.
The 21-year-old wasn't perfect, but scored three scintillating tries in the 28-4 win over Gold Coast on Saturday night to give Flanagan a dream start to the season in his first game in charge of the Dragons.
