RUMOUR Would you take Corey Norman back if he is cut by Eels?

[Kimlo]

Supposing it is true, (please no), I'd say it will go one of a few ways.

He plays centre or wing but Gagai is supposedly coming too, so I don't know about that.

He plays backrow but do we really want an unproven backrower in an area we're stocked up on? I'd take Oates any day.

He plays 5/8, Milford goes back to fullback and Boyd plays centre or wing.

Or... He might even play fullback but isn't that why he left in the first place, because he wanted 5/8?

Basically doesn't make sense to me.

Also I can't imagine Foran saying he'd sign but only if he partners Sandow, that's a ridiculous thing to say.

He'd be a hopeless bench utility for the price packet he wants, I'd rather stick with Niko.

 

[Porthoz]

Hooker?

Ok... I can't keep a straight face here.

After spending his entire career with DCE, it's not that ridiculous to say you don't want to work with Corey Norman!

Hahaha, yeah fair call!

 

[bazza]

Hooker?

Bahahaha. What's worst than Norman playing hooker is playing him on the wing. He'd be slower than Luke Covell.:o_o:

I'd take Maranta everyday of the week.

 

[Alec]

I still think he's a centre. He does ball hog a bit too much in the halves, but less than most centres do. Knows how to pass, and kick a little bit. Decent running game out wide... at least back in 2012 where he was making linebreaks quite easily.

 

[jarro65]

I really can't see where he'll fit in our side, particularly if WB insists on keeping Milf at 5/8 ??

 

[Brent81]

I am not necessarily endorsing this backline...just spit balling how you might fit him in....

Boyd
Copley
Hodges
Norman
Gagai
Milford
Hunt

At least we get rid of Reed.....

 

[Socnorb]

I watched the Eels on Friday night. Norman was very good, and apparently m.o.m last week .chip kick Sandow would be packing his bags you'd think.

 

[theshed]

I don't think we need Norman but I think any team would be lucky to have him based on this years form (if he keeps it up).

He had a motm performance last week and would've got one this weekend if Reece Robinson could kick/keep his legs shut. Norman has been very very good.

 

[broncos4life]

Yeah it's odd with Norman. When he left I seriously couldnt wait to see the back of him, so much so I was stressing until rd13 worrying he would renege on the eels deal, TBF to him though he has improved a lot and as theshed aid if he keeps up this form would be an asset to a team. The rumours seem to be getting stronger about a return but I honestly for the life of me cannot see where he would fit in, makes no sense

 

[Splinter]

He doesnt fit in
We have Hunt Milford and Taylor who is far better than Norman. We will have a fight to keep Taylor as it is with Hunt and Milford in front of him, then you have Jayden Nikorima also

 

[mitch222]

we should sign him on a minimum wage and play him fullback in qld cup for shits and giggles

 

[Drop Bear]

Well, as an self proclaimed Eel, I want him kept. I'm pretty certain that Hoppa will head back to Moanly at the end of the season and I can't see the Eels buying another full back. I still think Norman can fire and maybe with Foran on his way, we may just see the best of him yet.

 

[Waynesaurus]

I wouldn't count out anything, Wayne is clearly throwing down the challenge for players to step up and show their worth, I think we could see the clean out continue at the end of year.

 

[Clintos]

I'd take Norman back if he agreed to play centre. He has a decent running game. Plus that way we could send Reed back to Q-Cup!

 

[Foordy]

hell no ...

if Copley and Hodges should be our centers ... and if not we should try to sign Gagai

 

[Mr Fourex]

Corey Norman was very good for us when he and Ben Hunt were on the field at the same time.

It was a pity Peter Wallace wasn't injured more often.
