Play of the year | Norman's field goal winners
Rounds 3 and 4 of the 2019 season saw the Dragons secure back-to-back victories thanks to the boot of Corey Norman. First against the Broncos with five seconds to spare, and then again the following week against the Knights deep into extra time. Corey Norman, Cameron McInnes and Ben Hunt break down the match-winning plays.

Corey Norman is hoping an entire pre-season with St George Illawarra will be the catalyst that ends the worst two seasons of his NRL career.

This time last year, Norman was preparing to rebound after a horror campaign with Parramatta that resulted in a wooden spoon.

Twelve months on and, after a sudden switch to the Dragons, Norman ended up on a team that finished just one rung off the bottom of the table. In two seasons, Norman has lost 28 of his 42 games.

“I’m over losing. It’s not a good feeling,” Norman told AAP. “I prepared myself for both situations, but it just didn’t work out. There was the Eels, and then we had a shocking season here as well at the Dragons.” It’s why the 28-year-old has refused to reflect on the magnitude of finally cracking into the Queensland team for this year’s State of Origin series.

“Personally it was good for me with Origin, but at the end of the day I’ve come off two s*** seasons and it’s not good enough,” Norman said. “I really need to rip in this season and make it happen next year.”


Completing an entire summer with his teammates should help.

The Dragons were forced to rush into signing Norman last December after being blindsided by Gareth Widdop’s plans to return to England at the end of this year.

It created an awkward conundrum for coach Paul McGregor, who suddenly had three halves in Widdop, Norman and Ben Hunt and just two spots.

Norman ended up playing half the season at fullback, but is now set for a return to his favoured five-eighth position following Widdop’s exit. He’s banking on the resolution to pay big dividends.

“I went fullback for a while there when Gareth came back as well. (But) that’s out of respect for Gareth. It was his team, he’s the captain,” Norman said. “He’s been a tremendous five-eighth here for a very long time. “But I’m set in stone in the halves and I concentrate on that. Consistency in the spine, and even in the team, is going to be a lot better than last season.”

Blindfolded? I thought the Club was fully aware of Widdop’s SL ambitions, and he in turn, was conversant with it?

Apparently not.

Gee what a surprise , one of our highest paid players talking a big game in the off season.

Heard it all before ,so many times its nauseating .

Pity it never translates to putting in as much effort on the field during the season ,as they do bumping their gums about how they are going to re-invent the wheel in the off-season .

We have a team of adept shit talkers.

How many backups for McInnes do we need? Luke and Hunt already available. Surely a centre or two would be more handy.

Allow both Aitken and Lafai to go to ESL in order for SGI to free up some salary cap. Put Ravalawa and Sailor/new recruit in the centres, Lomax at fullback, Saab and Pearson/Pereira on the wings.
