Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2286232, member: 1847"] Don't really know about that... Norman's brilliant attacking performance in Rd 1 seemed to involve him, Beale, Winterstein, and Lockyer largely in executing with great style some great 2nd man plays. For mine, in that game he played by instinct. He didn't think. He just did it. Then the hype. From there he went a bit downhill. Maybe he started to believe he had to be brilliant every week and instead of just playing from instinct - as all the great players do, he tried to think his way through which of course, usually leads to disaster. Brilliance is only marginally a conscious process. I agree that having a spell now is the right move for Norman. He needs to re-discover his instincts and forget the hype. Having re-visited the video of the Rd 1 game, and re-reading this thread, I agree Kemp is our equal first choice winger with Winterstein, and Norman the best FB option until maybe he moves up to take Lockyer's place when the great man calls it a day. Until then, it's Hoffman's turn to show his wares although I still have doubts about his defensive positional play based on last years performances when I seem to recall he was caught out a fair bit. Hopefully he's learned a lot since then. [/QUOTE]
