Hela Wigmen Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Reports in Australia suggesting St George are trying to swap Norman for Widdop with Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clogiron Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 According to the NRL site it's Widdop who's after a return to the Dragon's. Norman would go into the Chris Sandow and that other forgettable H/B they got and returned to the Titans basket, a waste of space. Super League huh, send us your castoffs and misfits we've money to burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman is a lightweight. I`ll be very glad to see the back of him. You can have him. I don`t think there is one other NRL club who would have him.

Flat Rock Kid Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 They don’t even bother to wash Coreys jersey between games as it doesn’t get dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His injury aside, it amazed me that Widdop wanted to come out of the NRL in the first place. Maybe he let the lights of Warrington lure him in? When Ive watched Norman play, he seems preoccupied. I dont personally think he is a bad player but, like Milford, isnt having the best of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleD Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Corey Norman is the most overrated player in NRL, slightly ahead of Ash Taylor. He was lauded as the next big thing and has commanded some big money, but has always flattered to deceive. You only have to look at the improvement in Eels since he left, and the deterioration of the Dragons since he joined. He's a show pony. That said, he's not as bad as Tyrone Roberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read something about him wanting to play in Super League before he retires. Maybe it’s not all he thought it would be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 He also looks totally shot in terms of confidence . He makes an error and just sort of puts his head down and wanders around . I’d feel for sorry for him if he wasn’t playing for the dragons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I’m surprised there aren’t more players desperate to leave Sydney to move to Warrington. I mean has Sydney got the original UK IKEA or a Gulliver’s World? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes at his best he can be classy like Lockyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the form Widdop has shown for Warrington and even in the GB shirt in Oct/November I would let him go, and save some money, Norman will probably not earn 25% of Widdops earnings, and must be an improvement.
