Brad Parker is a ginja-ninja machine!

[Ryan]

I think as a club, we have to make some tough decisions. Even with favorite players. If you are prone to injury, maybe it's time to cut our losses, and find players who are consistently on the field?

Okay, an injury here or there is fine. Things happen. But we are too thin quality and depth wise to carry players who spend the majority on the sidelines.

Heck, that even means my favorite player in Walker. What good is paying Tom Trbojevic 900k a season to play 5-8 games?

Make some tough decisions, and bring in players who aren't a walking medical assignment. Parker (while improving a lot) is one of those players too.

Please a broken jaw is an impact injury. Tom is still growing. Follow your theory and there would be no one left and plenty on the scrap heap. Look at Teddy, injury prone early on but hardly any injuries in the last couple of seasons.

had to share this, saw it on another forum...the legend is growing, hehe

"I hear Chuck Norris checks under his bed for Bradley Parker"

 

[Scorpio]

Brad Parker is... Hank Scorpio

But seriously I would consider paying money for someone to Photoshop a Manly jersey on this, remove the background and make a banner of it.

Possibly my favourite player right now.

 

[robbiea]

Quite possibly mine too...

Whilst he might be an unorthadox runner of the ball, almost clumsy at times, when he gets those arms and legs happening he can be very difficult to contain.

He averages 3.5 tackle breaks per game and his defence is State of Origin material.

Parker - 46 tackle breaks *3.5 average*
(13 games) + 3 tries
...................+ 5 line breaks
...................+ 2 try assists
...................+ 88.7% tackle efficiency

Parker has grown as a footballer and the transformation from last year is amazing. Clearly he hated playing on the wing last year and was not in the right head space. But its more than simply a change of position, he now believes in himself and backs himself. The 2019 Parker is awesome!

I'd argue he's the best defensive centre in the comp today.

Being reported that he played 2 games earlier in the season before they realised his jaw was broken , he thought it was wisdom teeth making it sore

Lets wind back the clock shall we Mr Rothfield

Under Trents influence Parker was a shot duck in the NRL .

Trent just about fcked up his NRL career

Parker could not tackle , he could not catch a ball and looked way out of place at NRL level

Des came along and turned this shot duck into a Soaring Sea eagle just as he did to all our players

doesn't seem that he was able to weave his magic for Elgey though?

Elgey is not quite up to expectations at the moment but he is far from a shot duck like Parker was last season .

Reminds me of our hooker from about 20 years ago, playing half a game with TWO broken arms. Was it maybe David O'Donnell? I just recall both his names starting with the same letter.

But yes - he's a tough guy, our Brad Parker!

[Mark from Brisbane]

Gee I hope Brad isn’t a casualty for 2020 and beyond!!

I’m resigned that big Api and Thommo May have to go but I’m hoping that’s all.

I laughed a lot harder than I should of at this.

Damn. I see your point. Maybe “O” was his middle name...

 

[Chip and Chase]

What is it with this guy ?? Firstly he injures a knee last year getting up to play the ball and then tonight he injures a knee taking a tap kick. You shouldn't laugh, but it's funny stuff. Bizarre

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Bizarre but looked pretty serious
