Agree there, but would you have forked out that much for Norman?
Actually a bit disappointed in Norman, Hook has showed great faith in him and given him good opportunities. It's a bit sad that Norman wasn't willing to repay the faith and perhaps earn his big pay day down the track.
I guess it says something about wanting to play for the Broncos right now... If there is better money somewhere else there is no obvious other reason to stay as there are no real prospects for a premiership any time soon.
To me this just highlights how Hook's master plan has gone all wrong. He ignored signing marquee players banking on the fact that our future lay in the players coming through the juniors. Now our future is walking out the door. How very flawed his plan was.
How is it hooks fault? On one hand people are saying the eels paid overs and we should never have matched it, and people wanted him gone, now we should have kept him and it's shows how poor we are that we didn't keep him. FFS people make up your bloody mind. Only a player knows what he will do when offered overs to sign somewhere else. How the hell is it anything but Norman preferring dollars over loyalty? And no matter what you do those players will always go for the money.
