Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2526140, member: 1899"] Great player, has really come into his own these past three years and gets through an insane amount of work, all quality too. My thoughts on Parker through the years... 2001-03 - Sort of the ugly duckling. Bennett kept trying to play him as a prop where he was well contained, but every now and then, he'd be allowed to play backrow and low and behold - he looked pretty handy out there. Not a whole lot sticks out, other than him being dumped on his head in one of the ugliest tackles I've seen and somehow being alright. 2004-05 - Started growing hair, revealed he could goal kick (even kicking the winner against the Tiges) and started popping up for the Maroons as a token Broncos selection. He was alright, but just seemed like a club player to me. 2006-07 - Stepped up another gear here. Very solid in the starting side but his form leading into the finals was underrated and he was very handy for us on the right fringe. Thought he was one of our best when injuries hit us later on in the season. 2008-09 - Thought his reputation as underrated was becoming overstated and that he was really inconsistent during this time period, to the point where he just stagnated. Wasn't a fan. 2010-now - Went from strength to strength in 2010, forming a nice combination with his fellow backrows and constantly carting the ball up and making nice inroads off the back of quick play the balls. 2011 was definitely the peak, with 2012 being a frustrating year for him...always seemed like he'd suffer some sort of injury and this year I think he's been a little below his best, yet he's still easily the Broncos best this year.
