Why let mann fo for a grub you reckon norman could play 4 do ya aitken would run straight over the top of him christ I'm glad your not millwardYou are correct in saying that Sailor is a potential first grader in about two years time however, there is a few big ifs associated with this:
Unfortunately we are dealing with the here and now and I doubt very much that Sailor would be anywhere near the level of ability that Norman has now and possibly will have in two years time.
- If he progress the way we hope.
- If he actually remains at the Dragons
My suggestion is that we deal ont in 'if' or gameble with 'hopes'. The recruitment of Norman now means we can use his versatility across the positions of 1, 4, 6 and 7 if required. So if as you say Sailor turns out to be of superior quality to Norman in two years time, there are pleanty of opportunities to slot him in elsewhere.
Norman's salary will be subsidises by the Eels for the 2019 season and Widdops salary will cover his salary from 2020 on. Given we had a reported 500k plus to sign Hayne, and given that it is possible if Mann moves to Newcastle, we should have event more cap up our sleeves it would be silly not to take this opportunity to sign Norman and maybe one other first grader for the 2019 season.
