Honestly, you can't begrudge Norman if he does take up the offer, and I wouldn't be going near that price if I were the Broncos. I 'd be keeping him in the side for a few weeks, if we continue to lose however, I see zero point in keeping him in the side. We should be lookin at all available half & fullback options.
He's not gonna play fullback or halfback. And personally I think Luke Kelly is a better player.
Where's he gonna play for $450k?!

If the Broncos recruit a half, I'd much rather us go for one that's extremely skillful and isn't well established as opposed to a Townsend, McCrone types. To me, they're just like Peter Wallace. Ok, but not going to win you a premiership.
If we go shopping for halves we should be targeting the following we need somebody with a ton of upside but haven't had the guidance they need. Shaun Johnson, Sam Williams come straight to mind. Or, go after a half in NSW Cup/NYC like Luke Keary, Ben Hampton, Matt McGahan, Anthony Milford etc.
If we're letting Norman go (based on that figure, fair enough) than we HAVE to recruit somebody. Nikorima isn't the future IMO.

Doesn't come off contract until 2014.
But that doesn't mean a whole lot these days. Especially if Round 1 is an indication.
Brisbane would have to pay some pretty big overs to lure him. However, I don't think it'd be too difficult to arrange some big 3rd party arrangements. A polynesian superstar who has the marketability of Benji? Sunnybank, Acacia Ridge & Logan are all aboard!

we have a thousand halves already. how is anyone that isnt already a superstar going to get a go at the broncos when peter bloody wallace is preferred at all costs, + prince, + ben hunt.
if we got shaun johnson they'd probably coach him into blandness anyway.

I think Shaun Johnson would just cost too much for what he is. He is good but he is no Thurston or Cronk. I think we will struggle to attract the players we are after anyway. Something is rotten.

- No awesome coach
- Steve Kearney
- Douche bag ex player is our footy manager
- No outstanding players
- Useless captain
Everything it rotten.
Is Prince only on one year with us?. if we can't keep Hunt partnered with Wallace for next year on i reckon the next best option is to offer Johnson some decent coin. defense of Wallace with the creativity of Johnson putting Hodges, Gilette and co thru holes would stop quite a few problems.
