Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2314039, member: 1764"] Parker has had the season of his life so far. If there is a criticism of him it's his occasional tendency to run too sideways (usually out) which can cramp up room for his outside backs. He's much more effective when he runs straight, or arcs initially and then straightens and spins. However the continuing question as to whether Parker deserves Origin consideration comes down to what would he bring that's different/better than Thaiday, Myles, Harrison, Costigan and Taylor (and Lowe, Bolton, Stagg)? His work rate is not much different to Harrison. He's not as aggressive or damaging as a ball runner as Costigan or Taylor or Thaiday, and he probably doesn't quite have the heart that Myles has shown (chasing down backs etc). As good as he's playing, he still remains a guy you consider if a couple of the current group of back rowers is injured or suspended. [/QUOTE]
