| Corey Norman’s future is somewhat up in the air after it was announced that Kieran Foran would be joining Parramatta in 2016. Naturally the quick fix would be to swift Hopoate to the centres and move Corey back to Fullback. (Pushing a talented youngster out). It’s not that simple tho. Eels are set to re-sign Hopoate (800k*) and Sandow(550k*) and with Foran (1.2m*) and Beau Scott coming to join the party in 2016. It will be hard to retain the team moving into the future. It would be silly to have Norman and Foran in the team. It would take up nearly 2 million dollars of the salary cap on just one position. Moving Norman to Fullback would swift Hopoate , a 800k player to the centres (Bit silly). Plus Norman wants to play 6 and sees his future there. As a coach Norman , Foran and Sandow would be a dream spine for me. Eels could offload Hopoate back to manly ??? Even tho Sandow is a bit hot and cold it would be a deadly spine. Norman is less flashy but more consistent than Sandow. Corey is a young and talented player so it wouldn't be too hard for him to find a new club if he was sent packing by Eels or decided to apply his trade elsewhere. Some possible options include: Manly : Basically a straight swap for Foran. Carney and Maloney have also been linked to the eagles in 2016 Titans: With Sezer heading to the capital and DCE on his way up. It would be a perfect opportunity for titans to get themselves a young strong halves pairing to take them into the future and possibly win their first premiership. Plus Norman is from Brisbane so it would be closer to home. |
Far fetch options
Dragons :
Benji’s spot isn’t as safe as most people think. Dragons are rumoured to be shopping him around. Plus Widdop left Melbourne to get out of the big 3’s shadow and to prove himself as a player and now his in Benji’s shadow.Time to leave ???
Roosters:
They have been shopping around Maloney . With Jackson Hastings tipped to get the 6 . But with RTS on the way out .... Jackson to fullback , Norman to 6.What do you think?
I could link him to every club with a bit of bullshit that’s what journalists do. They get a sniff and blow it up to ridiculously.
Personally if he is to move on from Parramatta I would like to see him at Titans. I think it’s his best option. A partnership with DCE would go a long way to getting Gold Coast their maiden premiership. Also a combination with DCE could see Norman land himself a maroon jumper or a kiwi one. It’s not quite clear where his allegiance is. But that’s another story.... I’m writing about that too.
Where do you see Corey Norman’s future ? Fullback for Eels? In the 6 at Sin City Titans ? Somewhere else ?? Please comment below and vote in the poll.... I want a discussion .
