Corey Norman

[phantom eel]

The more I think about this guy and his attitude, the more I think we should just let him go elsewhere and move on for a better offer.

Norman that is (not Pou). He's not got the leadership abilities to be the type of elite half you build a club around.

 

[The EELiminator]

so what's the go with corey this week is he available to play or still suspended?

They're supposed to have a disciplinary hearing about it this week.

I don't think we're offering elite money. Reportedly less than $800k

I don't really believe in no dickhead policies as I think they all get stretched for certain players anyway. Im a lot more liberal than someone like avenger about what sort of off field behaviour might warrant sacking someone, but ...

He may be more trouble than he's worth.

Sure he's gone to a new level this year, and in his last game, but he hasn't really been there for long.

Plus his apparent off field lifestyle isn't really compatible with sustaining that level.

And while some players can do that stuff and still produce, most can't. And he will drag others down with him along the way.

I'd be offering him a strict deal and heavy suspended penalties at best.

I wouldn't be fussed if we cut him loose.

What is beyond doubt is that we can't get in a bidding war for him.

You make a good point however I would cut him loose. He is an immature, irresponsible dickhead of epic proportions. After the season we have had the last thing we needed was our best player hanging out with garbage, making porno party videos and being in possession of MDMA.

Thurston was also a goose in his early 20's with a few f**k ups. He was actually about to be cut by the Cowboys before Gus suggested otherwise to them

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Also while Norman has stuffed up a few times this year, and may have been rumoured to go out during the week, he does actually meet all his playing requirements. He doesn't miss training and puts in on game day. There was even an article early this year which mentioned Peats / Normans do extra training on their day off.

It would be a bloody stupid decision to sack him for a stupid video which he does nothing wrong and a minor drug offence. But I do agree he should be given a few games suspension and fine.

Gee there are plenty of players with a longer list of "breaches" which haven't been sacked.

Never heard of the f**kers

Norman is an absolute angel compared to the shit Thurston used to get up too. But that's the problem what Thurston used to get up too.

He's a credit to himself and his family to where he had gotten himself too.

Norman is now in his mid 20's and still doing stupid shit, if we do re-sign there should be a deal with strict behavioural clauses.

 

[T.S Quint]

I laugh at anyone who uses Norman having a sex tape as a reason to sack him.
f**k off with that shit you prudes. Is he actually even having sex in the video? All I've heard is that he's in the same room as a naked woman.
Scandalous!

As for the drug possession....that's also minor.
So minor in fact, that a court of law slugged him with a whopping $800 fine. And he returned no positive drug test.

As for hanging out with people of poor reputation....I wouldn't do it. But if he's not doing anything wrong then I can't see how we can do anything about it.

You conveniently forgot to mention that there is someone allegedly in the background snorting something. If we take your attitude it must be sherbet so it's nothing.

The drug possession is not minor. He now has a criminal conviction recorded. He is now restricted in travelling to many countries. He is now a criminal. Yes he deserves a second chance like everyone but we must take a stand on what he did. MDMA only lasts in your system for a day or 2. We will give him the benefit of the doubt and say this was potentially going to be his first time trying it. Hang on I think I just saw a unicorn,

We can do plenty about who he hangs out with. The Police did and rightfully so. They issued him with a caution for consorting with known criminals. We as a club should also not get into a bidding war with him because quite frankly the kid is a easily led peanut who has no leadership skills off the field and I personally do not want him at my club. However because he has had several consistent games he all of a sudden is untouchable. What kind of poor influence do you think his antics could do to a potential superstar like Bevan French? f**k Norman and the horse he rode on. We need leaders, not immature idiots with some footballing ability. When I read that the asking price is $800K I always vomit in my mouth a little.

I'm all about rehabilitation and counselling when it comes to your best player.

Normz deserves the chance to climb out of this hole. Not the first 20 something idiot.

Pou will tell you that risk takers are the best sportsman.

 

[T.S Quint]

I don't care if Norman is in the same room as someone snorting coke. If he's not snorting it himself then why should I care?

I've been in the same room as some people who were doing coke before. Never tried it myself though. Who am I to judge.

Also statistically more likely to contract HIV.

 

[T.S Quint]

So he has a criminal conviction.
Who cares.
You know who else has a criminal conviction?
Manu Ma'u. Oh, and also Danny Wicks. In fact both of those guys did jail time.

They seem to be going ok.

 

[Parramatta1947]

If the Dragons want him or anyone else....let him go

The drug charge, hanging out with criminals, a video with someone else doing drugs......those are the ones we know about. There is probably a long list and history of off field stuff we dont know about.

Thurston changed but we cant wait for Norman to grow up or find a misses to settle him down......

If another club is going to offer him half a mil a season, let him go and we can spend the money elsewhere

 

[T.S Quint]

Maybe he's learned his lesson.
A drug conviction can do that to you.

 

[Dibs]

I think Corey Norman is unlucky to have a conviction recorded. I've known people to be charged multiple times before finally getting a conviction recorded. You often here how high profile people get a break when it comes to being punished for crimes, seems like Corey's profile went against him this time
