Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 2754467, member: 8290"] Which view on Bennett are you referring to mate, I literally said in my last post that it's common knowledge that he's moved people on before, I know he's no saint when it comes to making tough decisions for the betterment of the club, once again, for the 3rd or 4th time, Parker retiring doesn't improve our position as an NRL club, and Wayne isn't as stupid as some people seem to believe, therefore the only logical conclusion I can come to is that Parker retired on his own accord.. Surely someone with your wealth of knowledge on the game can see that Parker "being tapped on the shoulder" is extremely unlikely given the current situation. You asked 2 questions in your previous post, unsure as to which you think I'm avoiding. I was born in 1991, turned 25 last week. If you're referring to the statement about Walters being a better option that Lewis in 1991, I put the words long-term in brackets, which is pretty undeniable considering Wally's age & injury status at the time of the decision. I mean, it's certainly possible that Parker stepped back a year early similar to what Hodges did to keep the young blokes around at the club, but according to Chris Garry (who seems to be the most "in-the-know" media personality regarding Broncos contract situations), Parker retiring won't free up much cap space at all, due to him being on the "veteran allowance", I believe it's called, which is a set amount of money for each club that doesn't come out of the salary cap.
