Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2754473, member: 8440"] I'm absolutely devastated by this announcement. It just seems too sudden. Surely with the up and coming young guys, in particular those in the forwards, we required Parker's leadership and presence for a further year at the very least. Parker's exit creates a huge hole to fill, and to be brutally honest, none of our current players will be able to cover his absence. Suddenly our team doesn't look too strong anymore. This does seem typical Bennett. I'm not suggesting Bennett tapped him on the shoulder, but Bennett is a fantastic man manager who wants the best for all his players. I'm certain Parker would of been in regular talks with Bennett in regards to his future, and Bennett no doubt let him know that a legend of the club like him shouldn't be remembered of going one year too long, which would of created some doubt in Parker's mind. That message probably struck a chord with Corey who has built his career on never letting his teammates down. It probably won't sink in for a while that every game will now be one closer to his last as a Bronco. A wonderful, honourable servant, not just for the Brisbane Broncos, but for the whole game of Rugby League. Broncos matches next year will feel a little empty that's for sure, but I applaud Parker for going out on his terms. [/QUOTE]
