+1 on Norman. He was never a consistent or dominant playmaker, although he had his moments of individual brilliance.
Taylor is the stark opposite of Norman, in that he establishes his dominance of the game by the way he steers the team around the park, his vision, decision making, and not to forget, he has by far the best kicking game of anyone we have, including first grade.
He's a pure-bred half-back that exudes footy, so I'm making this statement now. Ash, please don't make me look like an idiot...
Having said that, I don't think he will or should replace anyone next season, unless we lose one of our spine players. Let him bide his time in the U20's and harden a bit in the ISC, but I reckon he will eventually take the 7, leaving Barba and Hunt to fight for the 5/8 spot, and even then, they will probably have the Nikorima brothers breathing down their necks...
