Rumours and Stuff

Norman to the Dragons, 3 years.

Oh well there goes next season.

See you in 2020 then.

Oh well there goes next season.

It's no surprise than one of them got punted. "In BA we trust!" I thought I'd drag that one out since it hasn't been used for some time. Plus, it's almost Christmas. Merry Christmas BA, and a back stabbing, death riding, New Year!

Normans input in 2017 and 2018 was gabrage Brown does not need to do a lot to improve on what Norman provided.
If we can frontload a few guys if opt for that. Promote Parry perhaps. And run with him or Salmon in centres.
Otherwise see if a good 2nd rower or centre is available.
Lafai on a 2yr deal perhaps?

I meant more from the standpoint of getting rid of him even though Norman has left

Fair enough. That makes sense.

I agree, just because they have punted Norman doesn’t mean that Moses is safe.

In BA we trust (until something goes wrong).

Because last season was such a raging success? Norman has been on the decline since 2016, which is about the time when he started becoming more influential in our club.

This is a good move for us, and probably a good move for Norman as well.

 

[Gary Gutful]

What does ‘there goes our 2020 season’ even mean?

Were we ever a chance of winning?

How was Norman's input garbage? I'm pretty sure Norman led our team with 14 try assists, 23 forced drop outs and 14 LBA's.

Brown would need to do a fair bit to improve on what Norman offered in 2018.

Lets compare with Moses who had 10 try assists, 17 forced drop out and 9 LBA's

I'd say they still won't re-sign him, but I'd be surprised if they let him go for 2019 now that he's our only experienced halfback.

Expect Moses to take up a lot of the slack left by Norman, as his share of early ball increases.

I'm not surprised that Salmon could be lured to be a hooker.

Moses had more errors than Norman too. I expect those errors to increase even further as he gets even more ball.

Hopefully he makes as many errors as players like Thurston, Brooks, Keary, Milford, Maloney, Moylan, Widdop, Walker and Ash Taylor - players who all made more errors than Moses or Norman.

It's a halfback's job to take risks, and ours didn't take enough this year. Hopefully they take more risks in 2019, which will be indicated by more errors (and hopefully more tries).

Probably doesn’t even know what Salmon looks like

He never even looked at him, it's a player policy. You have to be the coach before your allowed to never speak to anybody.

Where the f**k are the NBA/MLB level stats, champion data?

 

[rugby league fan]

WTF i was there. Salmon never ran at hooker at all.. It was only Mahoney and Schneider at Hooker... Salmon ran in the centers and a little bit in the halves late on..

He obviously thought Schneider was Salmon haha
