Message: [QUOTE="FaithinHook, post: 2512733, member: 8300"] Hello fella, I have jsut taken the opportunity to quickly type up a brief summary from an article in our local rag received this afternoon. Once I get back from training, I will try to work out how to scan the full article into the computer - and then submit a posting onto BHQ. "Broncos coach Anthony Griffin today made one of the boldest calls of his long coaching career - demoting start fullback Corey Norman to the Norths Devils team in the Qld Intrust Super Cup competition. With his team facing an monumental task to reach semi-finals football in 2013, Griffin finally made the call many fans had been urging him to make since Norman announced he was leaving the team to join the Parramatta Eels in 2014. Although both Griffin and Norman have enjoyed a wonderful partnership ever since the Broncos under 20's team reached a grand final play-off in 2008 against Canberra, Griffin came to the conclusion he had no other choice but to bow to pressure from fans. When asked how he felt after speaking with Norman privately late yesterday afternoon to inform him of the demotion, Griffin said whilst bitterly disappointed, Norman still took the news "like the real man that he is". Griffin expects Norman to "bounce back quickly and make a real statement" on the weekend with the aim of forcing his way back into the top grade". Norman was philosophical about the news, stating "Hook has been there for me like a real dad and I owe him so much. If he thinks this is the right thing to do, then so do I". [/QUOTE]
