PARRAMATTA playmaker Corey Norman is on thin ice at the Eels after being issued with a $20,000 breach notice for drinking while he was on the club’s injured list.

The Eels and Norman could be headed for a split with Fox Sports learning Parramatta has been shopping the talented playmaker to rival NRL clubs.

Norman, 27, is signed with the Eels for the remainder of this season and next year but it appears Parramatta may be looking to squeeze him out.

The Eels star was one of the club’s best players last year on the blue and gold charge into September.

But like most of the Eels roster this season, Norman has been up and down.

The Eels are in the midst of a roster overhaul and the latest breach notice against Norman appears a strong indication the club is prepared to let him go.

Norman has received previous breach notices when he was suspended for eight matches at the end of the 2016 season.

Eels coach Brad Arthur shifted him to fullback for the round 12 match loss to the Broncos before Norman sustained a foot injury.

He has not been named in the Eels 21-man squad to play against the Knights at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night due to the injury.

The Eels latest breach notice has come about after the club spotted pictures of Norman on social media drinking when he was on the club’s injured list.

Norman had $10,000 from a previous breach notice suspended, meaning the total of this latest breach notice issued by the Eels is $30,000.

A number of rival NRL clubs are expected to signal an interest in signing Norman.

Destined for the NRL scrap heap, AKA English Super League.

Who in the NRL would take him now?
