This is very strange indeed. Please correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't Kelley and Roberts be ahead of him at the Eels? Can't honestly see why they would spend this much money.
I'm a bit torn about this. On the one hand, I think Norman lacks the speed to play fullback and the vision to be in the halves. I think he has talent, but I don't immediately see where he fits on a footy field. On the other hand, it's a bad sign that Norman goes chasing the money and doesn't repay Hooks faith in him.
Playing for the Broncos just seems so unattractive, and it's getting worse by the day. My faith in Hook in lowering as time goes by as well.
If this whole thing is true then I'd be dropping him straight to QLD cup. It's time that Ben Hunt gets his chance in the halves. And by chance, I mean the same one that Norman was afforded. I don't have 100% confidence in Hunt, but do feel at the very least he deserves his chance.
Hunt/Prince in the halves with Wallace as back-up hooker. Hoffman back to fullback I suppose.
