Austin For Norman? Doesn’t add up

To me these rumours (if they are rumours) don’t make any sense at all.

Norman has proven himself to be one of the best halves in the competition when he is in form. While Austin hasn’t proven himself yet and is also known to have very bad reads and 1 on 1 tackling in defence, a reason why sticky has had him in and out of the Canberra team.

If Norman left and was replaced with Austin it’s a massive step backyards in my opinion. Especially with the kind of money Austin is asking for, which has seen him decline a raiders extension last year.

Interested to see if people would rather a player like Austin than Norman.

  • Id would keep Norman at 7 and Moses to 6
    If he does not fire i would give Salmon a crack.
  • I would rather Norman, but would gladly swap Moses for Austin.

  • Austin is a parra fan and has tried to sign with parra a few time for a pay cut eels decli ed tbe offer each time. They now have an over paid half they need to get rid of and a half willing to take a pay cut to replace him They wont turn him down austin could be donede beflre june 30 if raiders agree and if eels cant get rid of norman austin will play 9
  • One of our biggest failings this year has been our long/high kicking game. Watching the likes of Ash Taylor and Adam Reynolds and the high balls they put up you know every kick is putting the opposition under pressure.

    Our kicks have been good when attacking on the line to get repeat sets but our kicking when running out of our half has been atrocious. I don't see Austin improving/addressing this and I don't think he's the right fit with Moses so its a no from me

  • Ok guys, why is Norman being shopped around is the real question. It's because Arthur wants YES men. Brad isn't a good man manager, he's an OK guy who looks like he needs a pat on the back from his players. The worst type of coach, manager or person.
    • Let’s just blame Authur for it.
      • Sounds good to me.....

    • You know? Gee!
