Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XX

[hineyrulz]

Thankyou GC, please go hard and sign Norman. Norman is rubbish. Last season he was woeful and this year he's better but that's not hard. Against Dogs he did some good things and then some absolute terrible things. Sezer is 10 times the player Norman is

Sezer is made of paper mâché, he has talent but hardly an upgrade on Norman. Can kick a goal though.

Are you our club retention officer by any chance?

Norman might not be perfect, but he has been our best back by the length of the Flemington straight this year.

Not convinced Sandow is the answer at 7....

Too many games a year where he doesnt show up for some mental reason. A lot of other games where he is a complete liability and ruins the whole right edge defensive structure.

Dunno what other options are put there though

You tell em Baz. As soon as I put him in my signature block he was destined to have a great season and turn his career around. Just like previous players that have graced it like Eric Grothe Junior, Mateo and Hayne. :sarcasm:

The guy is a f**kwit of epic proportions. I do however have all his post match press conferences on series link. I look forward to them more than new episodes of Game of Thrones.

I thought he was quite good overall last year. If Norman had been as good (I know he was probably injured) then we likely would have made the finals and Chris wouldn't be copping the flak he is now.

If BA re-signs Sandow i would actually question his coaching. Id give Sandow till rnd 10 and see what he produces but id much rather Norman at the club based on his development from last year.
Norman played his first year at 5/8 last year while sandow has had 8yrs+ in the halves.He aint getting any better.

If foran signing was at the expense of Norman id say BAD MOVE. paying an extra 500k for a guy that wont improve us a whole lot more. I wouldnt be suprised if Norman keeps improving that he becomes the better player.
I didnt rate Norman last year but i was happy to give him his chance this year based on first year in halves and also played injured.
He looks sharp and been our form player.

 

[hindy111]

If we did sign Sandow id want Norman at fullback over Hoppa. I really think it would be a bad move to re-sign him thou

 

[eel01s]

I don't think Norman is a fullback.

We will either persist with Hoppa or we will buy a fullback and put Hoppa back to centre

 

[Craig Johnston]

Would GC take his whole contract? If so i'd then go all out for Johnston from Souths

1. Johnston
2. radradra
3. Hopoate
4. Takairangi
5. Folau
6.Foran
7. Sandow

obviously depends on Sandow and Hopoate

i like norman, but that is a significantly better balanced side

that's a great write up. who says the media don't do good news stories?

What ever you lose with the kicking game you makenup with D if Norman is a straight swap for sandow. Its a good story but the reality is that unless sandow moved to fullback there is no room for him here in the halves next year

 

[hindy111]

Sandow can kick the ball long, but his kicking game overall is not great when you factor in finding space-short kicks etc.

Norman isn't that much better defensively than sandow and by the balance I was referring to included having the best halves defender in the game in Foran negating this as a major problem

Well maybe we should sign a $1m half and solve this problem. Oh wait we have ...

I actually think Sandow has improved his defence this year. Putting his body on the line a lot more, and coming up with quite a few very good tackles around the legs on bigger opponents.

Yes, but we're already paying Norman and Foran next year, at this stage we're not paying Sandow.

well read further earlier then because the discussion this morning stems from the titans potentially taking norman off our hands for next season

Fair enough. The Titans priority would probably be to keep Sezer I'm thinking though in the first instance. Sezer appears to be waiting to see what Manly, Hodkinson and Maloney are up to.
