Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2413339, member: 1950"] For God's sake people cut out the Corey Norman comparisons to Darren Lockyer. That was yesterday, and yesterday's gone. Norman is nothing like Lockyer. He has put a bit of size on in the off-season and reminds me more of a Trent Barrett or Brad Fittler in his body shape and hopefully in time that reflects in his running game. You can't expect Norman to slot in at 6 as a straight sub for Lockyer. Just like the Broncos tried vehemently for 2 seasons to use Norman and then Hoffman as Hunt's replacement, then ditched the idea altogether and went for a new focus in attack based on the roster and its player's skills rather than trying to replicate the past. Corey Norman will need 10 seasons of NRL (if he gets the change) before he is anywhere near as composed or experienced as Lockyer. If you don't believe me go back, right now, and watch the Raiders game from June last year and the ridiculous options Corey took in the clutch. The next 5-10 seasons are going to be made on a wave of confidence for whatever our young halves combination might be. If we don't string good games together it will be tough for an inexperienced set of halves to take the reigns and drag the team out of the mire. [/QUOTE]
