COREY Parker has not travelled with the WOW Brisbane Broncos to Canberra to stay with his expectant wife.

However the Broncos vice-captain is still expected to play against the Raiders at Canberra Stadium tomorrow night.

Parker and his wife's first child is due today and he has stayed behind in case she goes into labour.

However if there is no change in her condition tomorrow morning he will make the trip to the national capital.

Coach Ivan Henjak said this morning the team was happy for the second rower to stay in Brisbane the extra day, even though the team will train in Canberra this afternoon.

"Just in case his wife goes into labour, he will be available," said Henjak at Brisbane airport this morning.

"But we are expecting everything will be okay and he will fly down Monday morning and joint the group then."

Lagi Setu is on standby to travel.

was just about to post this.

Hopefully he makes it down otherwise he will be missed.

 

[Foordy]

So, should Parker be out, do we start Glenn or Gillett. Personally I'd start Glenn, I think he deserves it.

 

[Nashy]

Gillett for mine. Played really well last week.

Raiders blooding young Halfback against us!

opportunity has come a knocking for Josh McCrone in 2010, with the young Canberra halfback given the chance to face Brisbane in Monday's NRL clash at Canberra Stadium.

With injury already cutting a swathe through the Raiders squad, coach David Furner has thrown caution to the wind just a game into the season and made some notable changes.

McCrone will get a call-up over regular halfback Marc Herbert, while Furner is also toying with the possibility of introducing raw forward James Stuart into the mix.

The loss of Josh Miller (shoulder) and Danny Galea (thumb) in last week's opening-round loss to Penrith means Joe Picker has also gone straight into the starting side.

The Raiders are desperate for a win and Furner believes beating the Broncos will require a different approach.

"I'm looking at playing a different style against the Broncos and that change for Josh McCrone suits that," Furner said.

McCrone had a game in the NRL last year if I remember correctly.

 

[BroncoMatt]

Wans't McCrone their halfback for nearly half the year last season?? [icon_shru

 

[Fozz]

So he was. 9 games.

 

[Jazza]

Yeah I think he scored a try or two against us in the Suncorp game. Has a pretty good turn of pace if I recall correctly.

 

[nopatience101]
