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
He's still the class clown. That might be cute in yr 8 or if you're Gary but I bet it gets tiresome for a coach who is trying to get a team to perform.

Also possible that Norman has become more influential (or just harder to influence by the other leaders) as he has become more senior in the team, and it's finally hit the tipping point where he is a net negative influence at the club.

James Maloney is the leading role model for this type of dopey NRL clown. It is counterproductive that he is a media figure in the game. Norman probably thinks that is how you behave to be seen as cool.

Maloney may be a bit of a clown and I could have missed some things, but I cannot recall him posting a sex tape on social media, being caught with pingers entering a licenced premises, and being warned by Police for consorting with known criminals.

There also must be a reason Maloney has never re-sign with his current club!!

But yes he is a cleanskin compared to Norman!

When Maloney was on the johns show, they talked about where he has been and how successfull he was, then they talked money and he said he had always gone up in money each move. Flanagan on another night also mentoned sharks were no willng to pay more cause it would have meant they would have had to let others go.

BA has made a career out of taking on players who are a bit rough around the edges, who have a dubious past or difficult to manage. ( Wicks, Ma’u, Matagi, Kirosome, Hayne). I think he was interested in Lodge too wasn’t he?

If he has had a gutful of Norman then he must be almost beyond help.
