Parker's concussions

[manlyfan76]

Firstly I love Parker and can't question his heart. Form aside for a minute, how many more head knocks can this guy sustain?
Seems to have far too manu head knocks. Not his fault by any stretch but surely this is a concern for his health.

And tonight’s one was,at first and only glance,very innocuous.It would be very irresponsible of the club to pick him again in the next month or so

The juice ain’t worth the squeeze anyways

The only things more fragile than Parkers jaw, are Toms hamstrings and Dylan's ankles.

With the information about brain damage available, I think your right.

I worry that a few players are playing injured or coming back too early.Given the team has used one of the least number of players this season,it says a bit about Des’ mindset and lack of confidence he has in the squad.It wouldn’t surprise me if TomT comes back too early because they’re desperate

Parker can’t keep getting knocked out every other week.
Needs to retire before he gets brain damage.

Yep it's just too many now. The guy will have long term damage if he keeps this up.

I like parker too but he needs to learn how to tackle as last week he almost knocked himself out too.He seems to get his head in the way of the oppositions hips and fails to put it to the side. I have seen him do this many a time and if he is not careful will break his bloody neck.I hope he is alright as we need him on the field playing to his potential and helping us go forward.

We don’t need him in the team. He is slow , has no penetration and is injury prone. Keep picking outside backs in his mould like we do now and we’ll have that spoon we have never had.
The Panthers tonight showed how the modem game is played. Parker would not be in their top 30.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Not good for Parker, the club will need to look at it again in more depth as you have highlighted.

Who ya gonna pick from our current squad then.......

Schuster he has been training at left centre.

I would give Morgan Harper a shot. He looks promising and is fast. Surely Hoppa Jr is ready for at least a trial on the wing?

Siros knees??

Could bring in pongy pongy from the under 15’s....
Get real.

I was sitting fairly close to it and yes it was innocuous. Then when Parker walked off, he looked sick and wasn't well.

He's had one too many concussions lately and needs a spell, and a thorough check-up.

Des said in the presser that Parker would not play next week.

Schuster at centre? I hope so.

Or Hoppa jnr at fullback

 

[Scorpio]

I think the NRL need to implement more concussion protocols if they want change to happen. If the players pass the prescribed checks/protocols, and the coach wants to name them, then they will be playing.

Source?

Next week is the best time to blood some youngsters. I hope we see some new exciting talents. Too many boring slow ass players. Jorge suli parker
