Norman is playing better then Moses. For the most part Norman is playing square and running to the line, putting his body on the line and making his tackles on the line. Whereas Moses is not doing either of these things.
Lol Big Dave .
Normans attacking stats are better than Moses this season. And his defence is way better
As we’ve seen in previous threads stats are rubbish . Keep them for your SuperCoach game .
The only thing that might make this possible is the fact that Austin is a two first names player , if he wasn’t I can’t see Brad letting Corey go as Corey is also a two first namer and Brad loooooooooves two first name players .
That and Austins initials are “ ironically “ also BA .
Austin is an honest toiler but he lacks the skills to be a decent half, he definitely wont fix our issues, id be very worried if we signed him.
Austin is a great player who seems to always end up struggling to get gametime which in itself asks the question why ? He was great from day 1 at Penny and then for some reason was punted to The Tigers where he seemed to play pretty good when given game time , then again was surprisingly released to Canberra where he obviously bought into Stuart’s “ faith “ in his troops and Austin was killing it , then again found himself on the outer .
Not sure whether he’s just been unlucky , or he has an issue with coaches , but when his confidence is high he’s a gun player with a hunger to win. He and Moses would kill it I reckon . But yeah , he’s not a naturally gifted player who has to fight for every accolade he gets . The total opposite to Hayne and Norman .
We need 6 to 8 new players with at least two being current Australian Test or current State of Origin players. I'd also sign a new fitness and conditioning coach as our players look unfit. Moving Scott and Hayne on will allow us to sign an elite player.
Norman has been no worse than Moses and we know he is class, just badly out of form
