Thanks. I knew that. And it’s not really the point. Your highest paid player must be a role model and a reflection on what you club stands for. Norman is an abysmal failure, highly immature and should have been turfed out two years ago.
Mate, you know my view on Norman and so I won't raise it here again.
Your question was why he wasn't sacked when he was warned about consorting and when he made the sex tape and as I said, none of them are/were illegal. And we had management that were distracted at the time trying to save their own skins.

We will forget the prohibited drugs found on him but not say anything because no conviction was recorded.
Furthermore you are saying that management were negligent in their duties because of self preservation?

My recollection is that Norman was suspended and fined for bringing the club and game into disrepute as a result of his legal and illegal indiscretions.

My assertion that the management of the club were remiss in their handling of Norman at the time is just that... an assertion. Not the same as saying they were negligent in their duties as such.

When you're desperate you might need to offer an older player an extra year to win his services over a more attractive club. Then you can try and f**k him off later on.

He could sign SBW, Cameron Smith, Taumolololo, Valentine Holmes, Kayln Pongia and Latrell Mitchell and you’d still shit bag him.

I hate Cam Smith bigly, but I would sign him for a couple years.

We could entice him by offering a coaching position to Barb.

Even though he's never played fewer than 20 games in a year (excepting his debut season in 2002) he would get injured and miss half the season for us. Nothing surer.

I know, that is part of the plan. He either succeeds which is good for the team or he blows out a knee in painful fashion in the first five minutes which I love also.

Anyone associated with Melbourne hasn't done well at the Eels in the past that I can remember. Yes, I also include coaching staff.
