Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2474889, member: 1847"] Parker can offload. That is an invaluable skill assuming you have a team coached with both an offloading mentality instead of one-out bash n barge, and of course, support play. This team has neither except for the occasional glimpse. The game against Manly showed nothing really has changed from last year. But then, it was game 1. Hope remains. For mine, Parker is now too slow for lock in a game which IMO is now more and more focused on mobile back rowers who run off a creative dummy half and halves who run with energy and are always looking to do something with the ball AND have support players, be they hard running props whose 1st priority is to look to offload rather than die with the ball, or back rowers positioned on the edges and ready for the ball they know is likely to come their way. Parker has offloading skills in spades IMO, and that kind of prop is what we need. I am frankly getting bored with fat lumps or brainless muscle who think all they have to do is crash bash and barge with nary a thought to look around and see who they can off load to as first priority. But then, equally, where are the support runners who are coached ALWAYS to support the ball carrier? This team continues to lack consistent structure AND on-field leaders to keep the shape and the game plan from falling apart. [/QUOTE]
