NRL star Corey Norman wins $25,000 on the pokies – despite already bagging $800,000 a season

Highly-paid NRL star Corey Norman has won $25,000 on the pokies during a night out with mates, sending the group of football players into a frenzy.

The St George Illawarra Dragons player snatched the jackpot while hitting the town with fellow sporting legends Matthew Moylan, Nathan Peats, and Bryce Cartwright on Friday night.

Former Gold Coast Titans hooker Nathan Peats shared footage to social media of the group jumping for joy as gold coins bounce across the slot machine’s screen.

‘I just said he would win!’ one friend says, poking Norman in the chest.

The jackpot is only a fraction of the Dragon player’s $800,000-a-season pay cheque.

The 29-year-old plays as a five-eight for the NSW-based team, after joining them ahead of the 2019 season.

He is contracted to play with St George until the end of 2021.

Norman debuted with the Brisbane Broncos in 2010 before signing with the Parramatta Eels three years later.

During his decade-long career, he has been embroiled in a string of scandals.

In July 2016, he was fined $800 after pleading guilty to drug possession after he was caught with MDMA and muscle relaxants at The Star casino.

The same month two sex tapes he had sent to friends were reportedly shopped to media outlets in an extortion attempt.

The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. Ã¢Â€Â” Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine. Shopping frenzies cleared stores of essential supplies needed everyday by many disabled people, like thermometers, hand wipes, masks, and IV infusion supplies. Accustomed to their needs ...
