Season is basically over at 6-10 and with Norman jetsetting to Parra next year, is there any benefit out of playing him for the rest of the year?

Let's get your thoughts ladies and germs.
 
They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll drop this in here.

Abso-fucking-lutely. He should have been gone when he fucking signed. Pea-hearted ****!!
 
Yes, we are just wasting time with him there. Hell, I'd even chuck Granville at fullback.
 
absolutely. i was always supportive of him but the last month its become clear- its time to go, corey.
 
I'm going with no.

Corey Norman is a frustrating player. He clearly has the skills to be a good half but lacks the heart and thought process to be anything other than enigmatic at this stage. However, by playing him there, we allow our other player (eg. Jordan Kahu) time to develop at his own pace and until he's able to get some more miles on his suspect legs I don't feel like we should throw him into the deep end and hope for the love of god he floats.

The only player I feel is viable is Joe Bond and even then his claims is pretty sketchy. He's been made to play in the halves again due to a number of circumstances at the Dolphins.

Brisbane would feel the NZ fullback Josh Hoffman would be another contender but our wing depth is so horrid that I feel like we need to keep him out there for our own good.
 
I would take the risk with Kahu, tbh. Either that or swap Hoffman back there as a reward for his good form on the wing.
 
Absolutely he should. He's worse than any fullback or five-eighth we have had since 1988. Including those dodgy five eighth selections in 2007 when Locky went down.
 
Said it a million times noisetheory because they have the depth.

We don't.
 
Yes.

His ball skills are ok but he shows no urgency, slow/lazy in defusing attacking kicks and chews up bugger all meters with slow kick returns. He does not get our sets off to a good start. At least Hoffy runs hard and chews up the meters and gets us going forward.

Commitment in defence is pretty much non existent as well.
