Broncos better off keeping Corey Norman than chasing Josh Dugan, says Ben Ikin FORMER Canberra NRL player Josh Dugan at Raiders headquarters. FORMER Broncos star Ben Ikin has labelled Josh Dugan a selfish player and says Brisbane's pursuit of the sacked fullback points to the impending exit of current No.1 Corey Norman. The wayward former Raider has been linked to Brisbane and St George-Illawarra since fed-up Canberra officials ripped up his NRL deal last week. While former Broncos favourites such as Wendell Sailor have welcomed the club's advances, Ikin today said the former NSW fullback was overrated. Asked if signing Dugan would be seen as a desperate move for Brisbane, Ikin told Sydney radio: "It would be." I personally am not as big a fan of Josh Dugan as many are. As a fullback I think he's a very individual player," he said. He's a great ball-runner and there's no doubting that he's got talent. But in the modern game you need a No.1 who can create for other players. Look at Greg Inglis and how he's changed his game from being a pure ball-runner to a creator of points for other people in his side. Billy Slater is an expert at it. Brett Stewart is fantastic - it's not just all about him. For Josh Dugan his whole life - personal and on the footy field - seems to be exactly that (selfish). He's got a very narrow focus as a bloke and as a player. I'm not saying he can't evolve but the Broncos have a good young guy there (in) Corey Norman, who (in the win against the Dragons) on Friday night showed me he could potentially grow into a great fullback. Muddying the issue, however, is that out-of-contract Norman has reportedly all but inked a rich move to the Eels for 2014. Ikin says that's Dugan's best shot to land a Red Hill deal. "The Broncos are a bit like the Dragons and missing a bit of an X-factor in their backline and they might be thinking Josh Dugan can plug that hole," he said. If they know that Corey Norman may be leaving they'll be thinking we need to go and find ourselves a fullback, and it very well could be Josh Dugan.
