Corey Norman

The media are f**king vultures.

No arguments about that mate.

 

[T-Boon]

Clubs have an obligation to present players to the media

It should be a clause in the NRL player contracts. It should be right near the $ sign because they are a chance of reading that bit.
"Dipshit, money comes from media rights. If you dont talk to the media to best of your ability you dont get paid".

 

[T-Boon]

Nope not happening.

what other options do we have?
Except for my idea of playing Pritchard but defending with him on the wing we just dont look like having any DH options.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Designated Hitter?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Just pay a bloke to follow him round with a camera.

No need I guess, when the guy's dumb enough to do it himself.

 

[84 Baby]

Designated Hitter?

Well we do need more power in the middle of the order

 

[Gazzamatta]

So why are we not capable of getting the best out of Corey? Do we remove a very talented player who has had many fantastic games for our club just because, for whatever reason, we cant maintain his focus? First Kenny now Corey? Who is next?
Could it be other than the player thats the issue? Is it The Coach? Is it The Hayne factor? Is it the new conditioning system? I know that sounds a stretch but wtf is it?
And if its the player wouldnt that mean he would become an identical problem at his next club?
Im playing devils advocate here but I think the question should be asked.

 

[emjaycee]

We've signed Peppard? TheRam won't be happy. He only likes salt.

Ah but can you not see the similarities?
And they both have a sub-ordinate with the same initials.

 

[T-Boon]

Designated Hitter?

Dummy half. Thats the position we most need filled.
We need someone who is dangerous running from DH and gets good quick ball to the halves. In my opinion the DH should not have to defend in the middle. At least not in our case. Get meat heads to do the defending, park the DH out on the wing. Thats how I think we could handle Pritchard. I am sick of seeing him half drunk on the field from concussions because he is in trying to tackle the likes of Trambololoer.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Are we really going to sack him for "drinking". Was he at least spastic?
I mean I want to get rid of him because I think he is the wrong fit right now for our club. But "drinking"?
Could we hand him off to the Titans for a draft pick?

Drinking whilst rehabbing is a no-no, slows down the recovery process.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

That must be the Barren river in the background.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

We could see about a Titans trade Norman for Nathan Peates.
I realise Nathan Peates in injury prone but I'd still take him. Take it easy with him for this season and get him primed for 19. Also make hime the captain.

No point naming him every week if he isn't going to get a game.

Well for Gods sake please no one offer Hayne a drink.

Manly and the dragons also couldn’t control Edwards.

Maybe we have got Norman focused but he just has that personality that leads to “trouble”. Plenty of other players have been the same - Dugan, Carney, Roberts, Ferguson etc etc

They're going to drug BA so they can get him on a plane?

we also got 3 really good seasons out of Corey. Thats pretty good. He has been our best 5/8 since Kenny.

If Half and PJ were still here, you would be in trouble for forgetting the great John Morris

Interestingly, Wenty recently had King defending left three (five-eighth) while Piki Rogers attacked at left half (five-eighth) and defended in King's spot in the middle. A couple of years ago Penrith had a three way swap where Merrin, Cartwright and Wallace attacked and defended in different positions. I'm sure it happens fairly often and we just don't notice. The only reason I picked up the King/Rogers switch was when I saw King involved in a tackle near the sideline and I thought he was working a lot harder than usual, pushing that far out to make a tackle. So I watched him for a few tackles and realised he was defending out wide.

But you can't just stick the hooker out on the wing in defence. Where will the winger defend?

Broncos couldn’t control Norman either.
