Firths In the Sheds: Matt Parcell

Matty Ballin and Matt Parcell are very similar in a lot of ways.

Both are very fit, both give great service from dummy half and both are tackling machines. The major difference is that Parcell has a very good running game while Ballin had.....well lets face it, he didn't have a running game.

Honestly, I'd be happy with either hooker in the Manly #9 jumper.
 
Looks too young to be so tough.
It will be interesting to compare how he looks in this video with one in 10 years time after he's become a 200-game Manly veteran.

Matty was a good looking rooster when he made NRL debut, now via 10 years in the NRL as a tough little bugger he looks like an MMA fighter.
