Okay, I never really understood the hate for Corey, but based on last nights performance is injury to key players the only way he'll make the Queensland side again?

He started great with that little grubber, but the kick out on the full was trademark Norman and going for a legs tackle on Fergo would have been perhaps match winning had he pulled it off, should have just pushed him out would have been easier.
There were a few stuff ups, the at the legs of Fergo being the worst, but Norman with DCE had a lot to do with maintaining the Maroons attacking shapes through the sets and which greatly contributed to keeping them in the game and so close to winning it. Norman & DCE were instrumental in creating plenty of time and space for Munster to do what he does off the cuff, etc.
Nick: For all his off-field antics I still have a soft spot for Cory N. I thought he played pretty well. I think Mal Meniga may at least consider him for the International Nines. The clue to Nines is to have as many as you can ball players in the team. Cory fits that bill and he lead the Eels to their win in our local Nines game. His defence may be a concern but he passes well and kicks pretty well.
"Maybe Moses didnt pass the club medical to play yesterday but is expected to be ok in a weeks time?
Maybe is Moses played he reinjured himself in the first five minutes and we played short all game and got flogged?maybe the dogs took us lightly…"
"When I saw Ryles make that comment about recruitment pre-game I got the feeling he was having a subtle dig at the front office tbh. Seemed to say it tongue in cheek and then quickly changed topic. Made me wonder if there are problems behind the…"
"Met him once at the 2018 fan day. Was a top bloke. As a footballer, he is the prototype in how a damaging Prop forward looks.
I do wonder if he was a case of playing the game cause they are good at it more than they love it.
But to be admit not only…"
"Perhaps Moses also knew the importance of a win, and decided it's not very high. This year has turned into another development year, where it's better off giving game time to rookies and depth players.
That said, I'd not be surprised to see Moses on…"

Poetry that he missed fergo
More than likely, just like Pearce for NSW.
Whether you like him or not he played well. Ponga back to fullback and Munster back to 5 /8 leaves him out

Norman, much like Pierce had a steady game without any real brain snaps and could be seen again in the Maroon jersey.
