Norton had captained the NRL's North Queensland Cowboys since 2004, and played for them in the 2005 NRL grand final loss to Wests Tigers. He moved to the Cowboys and then fellow Bulldogs team-mate Johnathan Thurston joined the Cowboys as well. These two really played a part in the 2005 Grand Final.

Famous quotes containing the word norton:
“The question has been asked, “What is a woman?” A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman is a dreamer. A woman is a planner. A woman is a maker, and a molder. A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman builds bridges. A woman makes children and makes cars. A woman writes poetry and songs. A woman is a person who makes choices. You cannot even simply become a mother anymore. You must choose motherhood. Will you choose change? Can you become its vanguard?”
—Eleanor Holmes Norton (b. 1937)
