Broncos Player Movements and Rumours 2013

norman is better than hunt

Bitch, you crazy! No disrespect intended.

 

[Kaz]

Norman has something

If he has something, why hasn't he shown it.

 

[Big Pete]

Norman is more talented than Hunt, but he's never been better.

The only time Norman has played to his ability is when he's had Hunt beside him at half.

 

[noisetheory]

everyones very quick to write norman off but never give the guy props for doing well. thought he had a really good game on friday and played big parts in the attack which got us our tries.

 

[Big Pete]

:thumbdown: Bah, generalisations.

He's received credit for his work at the back. Not an overwhelming amount, sure, but his work at the back ensures he doesn't deserve that amount.

I actually think Prince if anyone hasn't gotten enough credit for that spread. Compare him to Norman last year and it's making a huge difference.

So... apparently Norman might back out of his deal as per the round 13 clause :tongue_smilie:

Ricky will shoot somebody !!!

 

[vertigo]

There's no one better than Lockyer to get in his ear about it.

 

[Big Pete]

Do we really want to keep Norman around though?

 

[Alec]

Do we really want to keep Norman around though?

Not for anything close to what he'll be getting at Parra. He'll move back to 5/8th eventually - either for us or for them, and it's fairly likely he'll just struggle without the extra space to move in once again.

 

[vertigo]

Do we really want to keep Norman around though?

Only if he a) plays fullback b) plays like he did last night, every night c) takes less money

I don't understand his drive to play 5/8 which hes already struggled with here at a worse club, if not the worst.

Where did you hear this?

 

[Fozz]

I don't like players backing out of deals. Even if it's going to benefit the Broncos, I'd rather Norman stick to his deal.

And this isn't just because I'm still not convinced he's the answer at fullback, it'll take a few more performances like last night's to change my mind.

 

[pennywisealfie]

norman sucks. he played well the other night but has sucked the rest of the time

 

[Bucking Beads]

Norman has the potential to be the one that got away. He could also be the one we are glad we let get away. It will be interesting to see how he develops.

 

[broncos4life]

Normans only position he plays well in is fullback, since whenever he has to play there he cracks the sads because the delusional idiot thinks he's a five eight... He will never be the one that got away, especially not when he's going to parra. Ricky would have killed his confidence in about 6 months and he will be the highest paid player at wenty. Daniel Mortimer anyone?

 

[LittleDavey]

Only if he a) plays fullback b) plays like he did last night, every night c) takes less money

I don't understand his drive to play 5/8 which hes already struggled with here at a worse club, if not the worst.

I'd be happy with a) and EITHER b) or c) - if he plays like he did Friday night (and continues to improve) and stops whinging that he's a 5/8 (cuz he's clearly not) - then I'd pay what Parra's paying. Under the new cap I think he's worth it. You need a ball-playing FB these days to have any chance of a premiership, and he's started to show what all the fuss was about.

I'd hate if he got away and became a gun. I'd hate if he stayed, and didn't improve. It's a risk, but it's clear he's got the talent. Just a matter of what he wants to do with it. Damn I'm back on the fence now..

 

[ningnangnong]

Is there any evidence that Norman has 'cracked the sads' because he's been playing fullback, or is it just a bit of rumour-mongering?
