Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 2754468, member: 2065"] Given that Parker is all of the above (and more in my view), that he is still playing at almost his highest level form wise, there is no indication of debilitating injury giving rise to a need to retire. Given that he was looking for a further two years and has quite openly stated to all and sundry that he was fine to play on, that he loved playing with the younger guys and mentoring them (this was all in the last three weeks) and in that two years would have smashed just about every record including Lockys, you will have to excuse me UB for at least pondering if their might be more to it. He has also indicated how much that six years he missed playing Origin hurt him. Why would he give that up when all that you have indicated about his form and his health is true? What is your theory then for such a drastic change in intentions by Parker? All of the above is why the sudden decision did not make sense to me. It may well be something that we are completely unaware of and not related to the club at all. As I posted originally, I hope it is because he has found himself something lucrative to do work wise post retirement that was not consistent with playing on. [/QUOTE]
