Tony Angelino Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Toulouse should really make a play for Anthony Milford or some young-gun NRL halfback like Ezra mam or Jayden Sullivan who maybe fancy 12 months in the south of France over the NSW cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Fantastic signing, key half back position for Toulouse, over 200 NRL games, recently turned 31, played state of origin in 2019, had both NRL and Super League offers for 2022 but decided to take a bit of time out of the game similar to Jamie Lyon before arriving at Saints. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I suppose it depends what shape he's in and what he has done since the NRL season finished last October. 6 months is a long time if he has been in retirement mode with no pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero chance with Sullivan , he’ll be a central figure for the Dragons and is on a long contract accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jughead Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Looks like a desperate throw of the dice by Toulouse, signing someone who was retired and will be well off the pace for some time, at a point where they desperately need to win games very soon to stay in touch with Wakefield and Salford, currently on six points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been looking for someone to replace Johno for a while. He seems willing and able. If you have a suggestion for an alternative then I can give you Sylvain's number. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably what Fev are thinking about Johno Ford at the moment. Apart from the desperate need to win games that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring How dare anyone have an opinion, eh lads? It’s a desperate attempt at staying in touch with those above them and looks it, by signing someone who hasn’t taken the field for close to eight months and retired in December. They need results asap and players up to the pace, Norman is unlikely to be anywhere close to the level required at Super League level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't retire, he just lost his NRL contact and took time out. He was on $600,000 this time last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Norman says otherwise: However after 228 NRL games and one Origin for Queensland, the controversial playmaker confirmed to yktr.sports that he would hang up the boots. “Yeah I was just like na I’m not even keen to play anymore hey,” Norman said on yktr.sports. “I was just over it so I thought just call it a day.” Norman was linked with the Knights and the Super League, but ultimately was content with what he has achieved in the sport over his 11-year career. https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/just-over-it-corey-norman-retires-from-footy-despite-interest-to-play-on/news-story/356589c59f934869beef6bf28180920f?amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
