Why Corey Parker is off Ricky Stuart’s Christmas card list

[Billy Walker]

Agree it’s a dumb article but is it a view that differs from what many have expressed on here when it comes to recruiting players? Also is it wrong that some people wouldn’t want to live in Canberra, others couldn’t cope with Nth Queensland, some hate Sydney and Melbourne might not be everyone’s cup of tea. If everyone wanted to live in Canberra it would become Western Sydney and im quite ok that it isn’t. In summary Corey Parker = dumb, his opinion on this = meh.

People on here are paid by the games broadcaster to call games though. And if a view is expressed on here, we aren’t going to have players decline interviews.

His comments have the potential to have one clubs fans base not want to listen to the games he calls.

Hence me saying he is dumb, but his opinion isn’t as offensive as some are suggesting. If Corey Parker decides to never visit Canberra again I won’t lose sleep.

This may be controversial and I’m not saying it as a reaction to the article or Parker’s commentary but I always thought he was overrated as a player.

I know, I know, he has an incredible record, 340+ games, heaps for QLD and Australia, several individual awards, I know.

He was definitely a good player.

But he also played in the most stacked teams at every level and did a role that I feel lots of guys could’ve done if given the opportunity.

Probably going to have to concede this one because his resume is amazing but, to me, he was a durable all-rounder who could kick goals and didn’t have an obvious weakness and got a Bradbury run for his whole career.

Couldn't agree more. Road off the back of Darren Lockyer and a stacked Broncos side and a dominant Queensland (generational) team.

He is a miserable commentator. During games with a Queensland team, if they are getting beaten he doesn't actually say anything. If the Queensland team does well you can't shut him up. If no Queensland team is playing he will pick out a Queensland player and just talk about him or her the whole game. His player to watch - pre match - is always a Queensland player.

Exactly. I’d put Darius in the same category. He scored 17 tries for QLD and I reckon I could’ve got 15 of them.

Agree about Parker’s commentary. He also offers no insights. To be fair, very few ex-players do. They watch the game, they see the same basic stuff that most fans see and they say it. I’d love a few genuine football nerds to get guernseys on Nine and Fox.

Anyway, Corey Parker sucks.

[Raider Azz]

Darrius Boyd played the majority of his games for QLD outside Greg Inglis which is all that needs to be said about that.

Back on topic, Corey Parker is a flog and the sky is blue.

[Sid]

I don't remember Raiders ever offering parker a contract

Parker can stay in QLD permanently.

[Roger Kenworthy]

Parker has become even more of a dribbler after the Broncos got their pants pulled down in the GF last year.

I suggest he wastes his time worrying about the Titans, who have been irrelevant for 15 years.

Parker can stay in QLD permanently.

I think his point is that is his preference.

We still talking about this EDIT
