If he is, he is. Nothing can be done about that.
Yeah agreed. We've decided his value to us. We shouldn't let another club decide it for us. If the Dragons want to give him more than we think he's worth we need to find new options. You can still buy a decent halves pairing out of the players off contract.

According to this the eels offer to Norman is only $100k per season less then the dragons, so it's a $2.1 million offer from us compared to $2.4 million from the dragons:

Surely if that is the difference he stays at the eels, it's not a huge amount.

And he could probably make up the difference from rep footy eventually with us, as his career/form will probably turn to shit at the dragons.

300K is 300K, and he is no guarantee to play rep footy...I wouldn't be ruling out the Dragons at all. He might feel that a change of scenery and getting away from a club that has the blowtorch applied to it every goddamn day like Parra seem to, is a better option for him given what's been going on in his personal life lately...

The other side of that coin is maybe he should show a little loyalty to a club that gave him a shot in the halves when his previous club wouldn't, and if we hadn't done that, he'd probably be in reggies by now..

Yeah our club is a bit of a basket case, but coming to dragons as a half and one of their highest paid player would put a fair bit of pressure on him. He would basically have to hit the ground running or the knives would be out very quickly. He would be expected to make them a top 4 side.

Probably more pressure playing with dragons then us.
