Adam Clune

[Dragonsamy]

Clune handled it better than I expected, smashed a few blokes too. He could easily handle FG I reckon. I know it was only nines but the physicality didn't bother him at all. I think after watching him and Sullivan it is very clear Clune is well ahead of Sullivan at this stage especially in defence. Id be more than confident of him backing up in case of injury. Sullivan just needs a good season or two playing against men while working in the gym and he will ready.

Agree
As you would now Clune had already had 2 full season in the CC Cup as a part timer.
So he is having his first year as a full timer.
He has had time to get use to playing against men.

Yeah I know he's been in the system a while I've watched him a fair few times. He reminds me of Matt Head a bit in that he doesn't look like much physically but is just a natural playmaker. Much better than the McCrones and the like we have had since Soward and Hornby left.

Adam Clune likes to compare himself with Luke Keary. After watching him play, I agree that his style is like Keary's and I sincerely hope he gets the chance to play in first grade as he would bring our attack to a better level in my opinion.

Id be starting with Clune and Hunt.
Norman can concentrate on his clothing label for a while.

If Mary puts Clune in the team against the Warriors, I bet we win for sure!

But he won’t have the balls to do it I reckon

Correct, steady as she goes for sure.

If he doesn't then I hope that Norman sets up a few tries and scores himself. It will definitely be the time for Norman to show some worth for us. If he fails, then bring in Clune. If this happens and Clune shines, then it will be see you later Norman.

Norman is a talented bloke but he doesn't seem all that fussed on winning. You look at the really good players and they tend to win a lot of games. His career has been pretty ordinary really.
Broncos 10th, 3rd, 8th, 12th
Parra 10th, 12th, 14th, 4th, 16th
SGI 15th
So we are paying 900K a year for a loser.

Spot on!! He was a panic buy to replace Widdop. Didn’t see Parra fight to hard to retain him and that says it all. 900k

Add to that Parra Broncos and STI have all had their worst ladder finishes while he was playing for them.
His overall win percentage is 44 with us 40 and 33 since 2018.

 

[redv13]

We’d honestly be no worse with Clune and Hunt except we’d be about 750,000 better off under the cap but moving him on is a much harder issue to address

Nailed it with Norman.
In a nutshell he has talent, but is lazy and seems to have a poor attitude. Overrated & way over paid. IMO a major dud signing by our club and we’ll be stuck with him as nobody else would take him.

 

[Old Timer]

Norman is an opportunist style of player and incapable of playing a dedicated and creative 80 minutes.

Clune appears to have a bigger motor, is in the game longer and is far more creative as a team player.

900k , really ??? Surly no where near that ?

 

[Blood&Bandage]

Clune to No7 and Hunt to No6

I heard 800k at the time

we pay overs

 

[Saint Pedro]

I’d like to see Norman in lafais centre spot next game. Clune goes into five eighth and hunt stays put. In a couple years, then have Sullivan go to five eighth and Clune takes halfback. Can’t see hunt staying beyond his contract, but he may well surprise us all.
