Parcell's strength is that be backs up through the middle section. It's where Snake used to play, but he is now playing wider.
Parcell's speed can allow him to catch up to someone who has made a break through the middle or a short kick to a vacant area between the defensive line and the fullback. If you look at how he scored so many tries with Ipswich, that's what he did.
Parcell is potentially a prolific try scorer because of his speed over a short distance, but he needs someone to create the opportunities for him.
With DCE's role now reduced to just one side (rather than his rolling commission this year which didn't work or suit his game) and Green working the other side it's a classic situation for both the halves to know they can go outside or inside with Parcell just waiting for an opportunity inside.
I'm not sure how Barrett will play it this year but if I was him I'd lead with Api and then put on Parcell when the opposition forwards are tiring and the whole game plan changes for little kicks in behind the tiring forwards or short offloads to him and confuse the hell out of the opposition by then playing it wide again, so they don't know where you are going to go and it's far less predictable.
