Corey Norman goes 2D

Before last night Corey really only had passing in his attacking game.But last night his running game was awesome and backed up with his stats:149 metres in 11 runs with 1 line break and 5 tackle breaksIf he keeps this up then teams will have to make sure they shut his running down, which will make his passing game more effective.Even his short kicking game showed some promiseCorey has started to show why he was considered as Lockyers replacement and if he can keep this up and improve his short kicking game he will be one of the better 5/8 in the comp(Still don't think he complements Foran though - strengths and weakenesses are too similar)

  • Foran virtually piloted the Manly team on his own on Saturday. Put Norman with him and he'll be fine. Norman started this year under more scrutiny than Sandow. Chris was in favour and Corey came off a mixed bag 2014. Norman has responded positively. Sandow is now the mixed bag.
  • I like your guts Miatch.

  • Norman had a much improved game for him, no doubt. But can he back it up??

    I am also a little worried that Foran and Norman's games are too similar. Perhaps they still need Sandow there to break things up a little bit? Still consider Norman at Fullback as an option that should be explored

  • Sorry Miatch meant goes not does 2 dimensional

  • Ron, Norman has NOT been playing like that ALL season....

    Norman has had his good games, but he has had some very down games as well. That's one criticism I have of him, there is a fair gap between his best and worst games.

  • Playing injury free thats the difference
  • May have missed it - have missed several games this year
    Before last night he was averaging 10 hit ups and 70 meters per game which should be much better than 2014 - don't have the stats
    I think last night made it obvious though
  • Hey brother apollo creed. I thought you were still rooting for Sandow?
    Isn't that bet still on?
  •  Agree with most on here Wile E Coyote. To me a line break is almost the same as a tackle bust--but splitting hairs there.

    You last sentence will not go down well with the optimists who have come out of the woodwork on the basis of one win in five games! You mention weaknesses  in relation to Foran!  How dare you do that? Don`t you know that he is the great white hope for 2016? And is without sin? Already there is an explanation of how Foran and Norman will complement each other---even though they have never played together or, even more pertinent , never trained together!

    Did you see the Warriors v Newcastle game yesterday? The small in stature Warriors centre burst through what seemed like the whole of the Knights players and ran in a try which won the game for the home team.He first went between two large Knights forwards who  barely put a finger on him. One of those forwards was Beau Scott who, in 2016, is going to stiffen up the Eels defence according to the optimists who also doppledanger as fortune tellers.
