Corey Norman - turnstile

[Jake the snake]

he's certainly not worth the coin he's on

i thought he'd bring more of a running/playmaking game - but he offers pretty much nothing there ... any time he does any running he just stops n props - even steps backwards, which means all his teammates run past him and we lose all momentum

but agree - can't pis him off until his contract is up ... only other place he could play is fullback and we already have one of those

Have to agree 100%

I rate Matterson very highly but then again Norman was doing what he was doing in the 20's and is now mediocre. Matterson is however a better specimen. Tall and powerfully built and can pass both sides.

He looks the goods.

I'm sure anyone can jog to the line and throw hospitals

I could walk to the line and throw hospitals.

 

[lingard]

Or I could just walk to the hospital.

And snort lines.

I worry about bringing Matterson in too early and putting pressure on him. Although Norman is not doing the job.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Norman was doing fine at the start of the year. He must be injured.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yes, this is probably the most accurate appraisal. I don't really think he's got it in him to be a modern half though.

I reckon he does. But we still need to get him wide into space every now and then or his running game is wasted.

Did you hear Jarryd Hayne in the 66th-67th min abusing the shit out of that Corey Norman? it was hilarious

Yeah everyone cares about Hayne's opinion.

What a great thread! :gapinganus:

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Norman with both our try assists tonight. Got skills.

We always knew he had skills from his time at Brisbane, merkin. Technically and physically he was always brilliant. His decision making needed work though, but that comes with experience as much as with coaching.

 

[Avenger]

We won't re-sign Norman. He is garbage. Next thing we will also re-sign Gutherson and opt not to bring back Hayne to play 6.


Did that post whilst driving my DeLorean.

I'm back now. Hayne sucks.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep, when this poor excuse for a footballer comes on our line speed and defence seem to drop as well. It's like the release of a pressure valve, he needs to be pissed off to Wenty ASAP. Gower on the other hand was very good.

Someone like Flanagan should sign him. That merkin has no idea.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

well then Brad Arthur needs a good f**kin reality check - cos he's the one who keeps going with that gameplan involving Seph

Any coach that picks Joseph Paulo is the side is a f**kwit.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The ugly bit
The last 7 games we have managed to score just 84 points. That's 12 a game. For point of reference as to how crap that is, see the Sharks. They have scored 90 points in their last 7 games, and that INCLUDES a string of 3 0s in a row by them.

Our attack sucks, our defence sucks. Seffa is clearly not helping the stilted attack - punt him, because he definitely makes the defence much softer through the middle.

You would never catch Seffa Paulo playing for a club like the Sharks.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I hope Norman comes good. I hear he is on $450K, which is ridiculous overs for a player of his quality. I just can't see it. Reminds me of Adam Dykes with a severe ball rash.

Did we get a chance to confirm this in the Canadian Club video? I never saw it.

He was bad for a while there. Definitely injured.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Finally some sense. Sandow is hardly our team's current problem and he was never the reason why we got back to back wooden spoons.

Yes it was. His defence is so bad she should never play in the NRL again. The game has passed him by.

 

[Chipmunk]

You would never catch Seffa Paulo playing for a club like the Sharks.

He never has been, nor will he ever be if they want to remain Premiership contenders, considered in their best 17 players.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It gives them no time or space though

Getting wider absolutely gives players more space. That's why teams don't stick their best runners at first receiver. Agreed it doesn't give them more time but instinctive running players don't need more time to overthink, they need more space.

 

[hineyrulz]

Someone like Flanagan should sign him. That merkin has no idea.

Digging up 3 yr old threads to try and start an arguement???


Maybe Isaiah will play with you......

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Just to be clear - I am asking you to justify one of your own statements which I thought was a bit unfair in Arthur.

And guess what? You folded quicker than Superman on laundry day.

Folded quicker than Portuguese chicken.
