The fact that the coaching staff, you know the people who are professionals at this, rate the kid makes no impact on you naysayers?

It does me

I get it, I really do

I have concerns from my lounge room too

But perhaps the coaching staff see more of him than I do, and perhaps they know more about the game than me


That is bollocks though. Generally most people on this have watched Rugby league their whole life. They can tell the difference between a quality players and a not so quality player. Difference is the Coaching staff are paying them big bucks so have to show a lot more faith than us.

Have you ever heard coaching staff say "yeah, sorry, this kid is useless"? No. The only time a club shows they really don't rate someone is if contract renewal time comes and they just don't.

Admittedly for some inexplicable reason it seems they want to stop Parramatta taking him, but hopefully after 6 rounds of more useless crap from Norman they'll come to their senses and pack his bags for him.

Indeed just like they don't come out and say **** off coach you suck, they say the coach has the full support of the board, few days or weeks later his gone.

Thankfully the Broncos don't use that line too often!

Weren't they using that line a fair bit the off-season before Henjack was sacked?

Lol, the you're not a professional so what do you know argument.

Beads has a good point, I've been watching league religiously since I was about 6 years old, 15+ years on I think I can have my own opinion. I still think Griffin was wrong to drop Maranta for Hoffman last year, coaches are not perfect. I do trust Griffin though, he seems to have the most important thing which is the respect of the players.

Could you imagine if Hook listened to us? I reckon the side would change every week and every possible player would get a run!

and if the board listened to the fans in 1990-1991 Bennett would have been given the axe, but then the fans are always right aren't they.

Can't see it. Boyd had ability. And not in a key position. Norman has limited ability, no brain, no heart, and yet they want him in a key position.

Playing Norman on first grade is conceding defeat.

Ricky. Buy him. Now.

He didn't seem to have changed much since last year in the trial against the Warriors. Lockyer rates him and Hook seems to love him. I'd rather him at fullback if he had to be in the team though.

I have no opinion either way.

It feels like we're no closer to having a clue as to who our top 17 is let alone whether norman is in it.
