Corey Norman

[Bucking Beads]

He seems to be one of those guys who looks to have talents but always looks lethargic and come across lazy... I think he should be playing in QLD cup if he is expected to be in first grade next year.. Thoughts??

 

[Jazza]

I thought last night was one of his better games to be honest. I do agree that playing at Queensland cup level would assist in his development though.

 

[Bucking Beads]

He was decent last night except for his defense IMO. He will get better I just think he looks Lazy. [icon_shru

 

[jarro65]

QCup is where he should be for the rest of this year IMO also, he just needs a bit of refining.

 

[simmo77]

Was happy he backed his arms and hit Teo for the try rather than putting it on the toe like many other younger players would have.

 

[Charmamba]

While he made a few mistakes in defence he was also there to make the much needed tackle alot of the time.

While naturally i still want Cooper :P I'm happy to say that Norman is our answer for next year and while we will naturally miss Locky it wont be as bad as some expect.

I also thought that Norman was very good last night. Showed some real ability. Has a long boot on him which was good.

 

[joshobro]

He looks like he has talent but he looks a yr or 2 away from being ready for first grade. He looks lost out there 3/4 of the time. Maybe were doing him an injustice by playing him too fast. He was pretty good against melbourne but half the time he looks like a passenger!

 

[Big Pete]

He's got a good long boot on him, decent running game and a good long pass but he's still obviously very inexperienced and his defence leaves a lot to be desired.

I really wish Hunt hadn't of picked up an injury.

 

[vertigo]

Let's hope he doesn't turn out to be like Sutton.

 

[PETERN]

Let's hope he doesn't turn out to be like Sutton.

He's nothing like Sutton..Sutton has the build of a backrower, and should never have been turned into a half.

 

[noisetheory]

He looks lost out there 3/4 of the time.

exactly my thoughts.

he looked good in attack last night though.

he and beale cant tackle.

 

[Flutterby]

IMO all our young guys who are genuinely being groomed for NRL should be playing Q Cup and not U20s. Q Cup is a MUCH better preparation for the step up than the U20s comp.

I thought he was good last night also. I agree that he sometimes seems lost and not quite ready for first grade yet, but last night I felt like he showed a lot of confidence and looked quite comfortable, compared to past games. I think with some more first grade games this year, then a full season of training as our full time 5/8, with Locky & Langer there to guide him, he will improve a lot. Then once he gets a bit more game time under his belt I think he could be anything, he definitely has the potential.

 

[Flutterby]

then a full season of training as our full time 5/8, with Locky & Langer there to guide him, he will improve a lot.

Except Locky has said he plans to spend 12 months completely away from RL - so I don't think he'll be there to help out too much next year.

Personally I think Norman would do a fine job, but he needs to not have the pressure on him to basically just walk in and be at top standard - he will need time to find his feet and develop; not to just be criticised and lambasted when he doesn't provide instant match-winning plays every time.

if this clown is our first choice 5/8 next year, we are in massive trouble.

I get the feeling we should groom hoffman for the 5/8 spot.
