Norman will earn about $900,000 next season in the final year of his deal at the Eels.

Fairfax Media understands the club are prepared to pay around $150,000 if he was to find a new home.

Thanks for reporting Fairfax’s thoughts. If only they had their own avenues for reporting as such

Just find it ridiculous that once again we’ll likely be going into a season with a new halves pairing. Norman isn’t having a great year but he’s still light years ahead of every half we’ve had since the glory days. Stability in our spine is what we need

Best part is we will pay him to play elsewhere lol. Best half had in 10yrs and we pay him to play as another club

How was it a premium plus 20%?

According to this article it was $2.2 million over 3 years:

https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp...l/news-story/14ab81fa00f1a4ee44ea42f974da915f

And the amount was generally what was reported.

That is $733k per year (it is possible we backend some his contract which is why $900k is being reported now), considering he was looking like going close to winning the Daily M in 2016 and one of the form halves, before his suspension, that seems like a pretty good deal - the amount factors in, his “issues” at the time as halves were (and are) getting a fair bit more then $733k per year.

So maybe BA did factor in the risks involved !! Maybe he did have an idea what he was doing!! But hey let’s always let the facts lean to BA is f**ken hopless!!

Anyhow I can just imagine the threads and post of here if we had let Norman go at the time, the place wouId have gone into meltdown!!
Tell me how Norman is a poor half when all his stats are up near the top. On stats alone Moses is a very poor half. Norman is the scapegoat for BA to blame for the team's poor performance. Maybe BA should look at his shit poor tactics, especially at the 20 metre line, where we appear to have NFI. That is not the halves problem alone but a team problem thru lack of creativity especially amongst the forwards.

Hard to argue on the basis of 'facts' with you if you selectively disbelieve some and believe others that have been prepared on the same basis. Whatever data is presented, you'll just say that you're right and some of the data is just wrong.

There are all sorts of things that can make on teams players 'appear' bigger than others....not the least of which is the jersey design that the teams play in. Just ask women about the impact of horizontal stripes v vertical stripes on perceived weight. Although I'm not sure that the the stripes on players socks make them look taller or shorter.
Makes their ankles look bigger or smaller.

Just watching the line up of the Broncos and f**k me do they have some impressive young forwards. I’d love one of their guys. Just 1 please!!
All will sign with Broncs dollars, where the dollar amount on the contract has no correlation with the actual amount paid. They'll field a $15m team on a $9m cap with $2-3m TPAs.
