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.
"There should only be 2 nominees - Thornett and Hayne.
Both great in their own way but The Mayor was easily the better fullback.
Hayne could earn a spot as utility off the bench due to him being fantastic in other positions.
Taylor, along with Levy,…"
"Yep Dave very fortunate to see the Mayor as the Great man was known . When read on here comments from our loyal supporters that Grand Dad told them about the players of that time i think stuff me i am getting on as you said my friend Sir Col and the…"
"My typo, Pops
Should have read "average backline" which is what Parra had at the time despite great forwards. He made those guys look really good at times..
As you say, his international record was superb.
I think we are saying the same thing, he…"

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.
