Corey Norman loves his rugby league again and aims to bring more Magic to save Toulouse’s Super League status.
The controversial Australian stand-off came out of retirement in April, surprisingly flying across the world to fire the bottom club’s safety bid. And beating Wakefield in the crunch opening game of Magic Weekend on Saturday would put them within just two points of closest rivals Trinity. Ex-Queensland State of Origin rep’ Norman helped gain his first win in Toulouse colours when thrashing Hull KR 28-6 in France last Saturday.
That has raised hopes the promoted side could yet make a mockery of their relegation favourites tag. Norman, 31, admitted: “We’ve been thereabouts for a while now (nearly getting a win) but that was one of the complete games we’ve put together. It was pleasing. A few people were writing us off (beating relegation) but we’ve a good chance to back that up this weekend and kick on for the rest of the year.
