Corey Norman

What a win last night! Very good team performance. Still a lot to work on though.I thought everyone did their jobs however.It's finally exciting to see some structure and watch the boys throw the footy around and question the defence. Something we haven't seen since 09'.Just want to give a shout out to a few of our best last night. Whilst it's hard to really fault anyone, there were some definite standouts. Jr Paulo was at his terrifying best and is going to be a huge loss for the club if the raiders rumours are true.Kenny Edwards played out of his skin with some great runs, a try and rock solid defence.However the man of the night was Corey Norman. Absolutely outstanding once again. This bloke just continues to get better and I though last night he looked a lot more relaxed having the composed Kieran Foran playing alongside him.I think it's about time he is seriously considered for origin. I'm no qlder by any means, but it's nice to see players from your own club be rewarded.Whilst Foran is a heck of a player and probably our best when fully fit, I actually feel Normy is our most valuable. We gave him a chance to play regular 1st grade, and he certainly hasn't let the club down in any way.Tip your hat to the young man. All class.

Err no. Steady, composed. Absolutely outstanding? Are you in real estate? Origin? Only if the conga line of Qld halves all rip their hammy.

Everybody did their job. Our defense was brutal, as good as I've seen since a semi final against Norths when we had the doggies quartet. I'd love to play the Knights earlier so we can work on our fluency in attack.

How tough does Beau Scott make this team? I knew he was a good footy player but geez..

Norman our best again. The best purchase in many years for the eels!

Hard to pick who was best last night, i think it would have to go to a forward though. Corey was good without being outstanding and Foran is still nursing his hamstring and isn't 100%. The win was as much about the boys hanging in there together as the Cowboys throwing it away with terrible completion rates. As the old saying go's though, "A win is a win and 2 points is 2 points".

Tepai a wrap. Your loosing it Benj.

I don't think Foran played better then Norman. He pretty much nurses himself through the game and hardly run it. He will improve though
