Corey Norman has this afternoon been released from the final year of his contract by the Parramatta Eels.
The 28-year-old five-eighth, who has played 167 games in the NRL, has been linked with an immediate switch to St George Illawarra although the Dragons are yet to make any official announcements concerning his potential signing.
It is understood Norman's manager, Paul Sutton, is on an overseas holiday and the paperwork is likely to be finalised in the next 24 hours.
Norman, who made his Telstra Premiership debut with Brisbane in 2010, played 67 matches for the Broncos before tallying 102 appearances for the Eels over the past five seasons.
He was an integral part of Parramatta's charge to the 2017 preliminary final but was criticised for his form last season as the Eels finished with the wooden spoon.

OK, so it looks like it's really happening - I'm all ok with Norman moving on. I've experienced 5 seasons of Norman, ebbing flowing to and from a space cadet on the field of battle playing some games of absolute shit. One game he's on song, well sort of, and then another, absolute crap, a real meltdown (space out) between the ears. Not good enough Normy. Our club can only benefit from Normies permanent absence, especially Mitchell Moses. Enter Dylan Brown and another strong back up halve to give Dylan a few no-game-breaks during the 2019 season.
Gold Logie to you son for best Dribbler
Good too see Bernie keeping his word about improving the clubs culture.
And not paying players to play elsewhere .
Remember when we were told no more spoons Snake???
Yep, BA made the clear promise on his watch there would be no spoons, should have been sacked for breaking that promise alone.
Especially when he had a team full of his own players.
