My honest opinion
Parker is so slow he reminds me of Joe Biden
Slow is a liability in both attack and defence
The faster game is no place for slow backs especially in the big games at the end of the season
We need more strike power and creativity in centres
We cannot rely for Tom to score our tries and set them up as well
Geez mate, you've gone from pretending to constructively criticise Parker to straight out insulting him.
Walker hasnt played centre for what, 3 or 4 years now?
If he was our best centre option I reckon Des would he playing him there instead of off the bench at #14, don't you?
Parker has consistently proven himself to be an excellent defender & dummy line runner & capable of backing up & scoring tries.
Walker won a premiership playing centre at another club 8 years ago, won the centre of the year award 7 years ago, had 2 stints at 5/8 (one crap the other better), spent a lot of time off the field due to injuries (many self inflicted) & legal issues & finally appears to have found his role as an impact middle forward off the bench.
Our other centre options are as yet untested yet you're heralding their names everywhere as better options than Parker because you've seen photos of them in which they look like athletes & can run fast.
Again, if they were outr best options at centre I reckon Des would name them there.
It's the same as the way you've gone ga-ga over the signing of Segeyaro as our new saviour at hooker & thrown Croker under the bus because you dont think he's dynamic enough.
You harp on about perspective & club membership & loyalty etc but where's yours when it comes to our players?
"The police should have recognized Kite as being a Manly premiership winning player & known better but Parker & Croker suck because you like bad boys."
Unreal.
