Corey Norman would consider move to Fullback

SK Corey Norman how he does it, how he continues starring in a position that won’t be his beyond this season, and the Parramatta playmaker doesn’t hesitate.“Kieran Foran, he’s at Manly,’’ Norman says.“I’m the No. 6 here at Parramatta.”Isn’t he what?While all the attention over the past month has been about Manly international Foran and his $4.7 million switch, the man keeping his jumper warm has quietly gone about becoming the blue and golds’ best.Outstanding in upsets over Manly and Souths, the 24-year-old playmaker will on Monday look to claim another scalp against rising Wests Tigers halves Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses at ANZ Stadium.“And I know there has been a lot of talk,’’ Norman says of Foran’s impending arrival.“But I guess with my personality the way it is, it doesn’t really worry me.“I’m fairly laid-back. (Laughs) A lot of things go over my head. The way I see it, I’m at Parramatta. Kieran Foran is at Manly.”Corey Norman is on fire for the Eels.Source: News Corp AustraliaWhich, currently, is working well for the Eels.But as for what happens once the New Zealand international does finally arrive at Pirtek Stadium?Already, there is talk of Gold Coast interest in Norman. But the young playmaker insists that, unlike other Titans targets, he has received no phone call from Daly Cherry-Evans.“No, no, no phone calls — nothing like that,’’ he laughs.“I haven’t heard anything there and I’m not too worried about it either.“I want to stay at Parramatta. Stay playing for (coach) Brad Arthur. It’s taken a while but we’re really starting to develop some combinations here, which is showing on the field.”Another scenario involves Norman, should he wish to stay with the Eels, switching to fullback, where he initially made his name with the Brisbane Broncos.In turn, Will Hopoate would return to the centres.Yet the opportunity to play five-eighth is why Norman headed down to Parramatta in the first place, right?“I believe I’m a No. 6, yeah,’’ he says.Best of Hayne's career1:32“So who knows what will happen.“Certainly shifting to fullback would be a new challenge for me and something I would definitely consider.“But right now my only worry is what we’re doing this season.”And right now, that means overcoming a hoodoo that has seen Parramatta become the worst travelling team in the NRL.According to Fox Sports Stats, the Eels’ win record away from home in the past three seasons is an alarming 16 per cent.And as for their record at ANZ Stadium, where Eels officials have shifted Monday’s Easter Monday game?Don’t ask. Since 2011, Parramatta have lost all nine matches as the home team there and have won just once.

"Lincoln hasn't even played nsw cup yet and only played his first JF game this week. I believe he will play the full year in JF with maybe a game in cup here and there. I assume he will play nsw cup next year full time as the back up 7 to NRL. I…"

"Can Lincoln Fletcher play in top grade? Wouldn't mind seeing him get a run at number 6 also Lorenzo and Twidle need upgrading.. I see Ethan Sanders ( ex Parra) won the game for the Raiders "
