Match Threads/Spoilers

[Bucking Beads]

Well now Glenn has made the mistake he will learn from it and gain some experience so it could be good for him.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I am surpirsed you haven't mentioned Devere's goal kicking now that really would have won us the game alot easier. I think Henjak will drop players if they don't perform so I can't see us revisiting any retard robinsons again.

Our defense especially on the goal line was very poor, we certainly need devere in their, too much attack, again if not just for his goal kicking, corey's goal kicking could of EASILY cost us the game, we need a more reliable goal kicker or we will lose a lot of tight matches this year.

You did see where on the field Parker's kicks were from didn't you?

No easy feat.

 

[Aeetee]

Denan Kemp is potting them from that far out for the Warrioirs as we speak.

Denan is god and bring back Devere.............

It doesn't matter where it was from, the fact is we could lose a lot of games with a kicking rate of 1/3 goals.
I really have no confidence in parker, sometimes he can be spot on sometimes he can be completely out of it, too inconsistent.

I'll take this side too. Parker has games where he nails the goals, and games where he is horrible. Last night is a perfect example.

With our young team, a lot of games will be coming down to the goals, he is unreliable out wide, we need a kicker. And if that means Lockyer needs to start practicing again, now that he has less on field stress, then so be it.

 

[Ari Gold]

Gorrell and Wallace are both better kickers than Lockyer...as for that matter is Corey Parker.

 

[Jeba]

Haha this forum is ridiculous sometimes (wait, make that most of the time). Parker misses 3 sideline conversions and he is already on the chopping block. FFS, El Masri has gone a few games missing 3 from out wide. :roll: I am no huge Parker fan (though I was impressed with his game last night) but sometimes it seems that this forum has some kind of vendetta against him.

 

[Nashy]

I know that. But how long does he get to improve?

 

[Jeba]

Yet another quality addition to the debate by Nashy.

He is no worse than Lockyer was in 2005 and Locky kept the job for most of the season that year. Parker will improve with practice and you've gotta remember not all his kicks will come from the sideline. Also, one of them went very very close, 30cm to the left he would've got it, and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Go payout on someone else, deadset, your debate above is stupid. Credit to Rocky for putting forward a decent post.

However, when close enough becomes good enough, I'll be sure to get in contact with you for your opinion.

Close enough was good enough last night!!!!!

 

[Kimlo]

I'm not saying he's crap, but alot of games will come down to the wire, and tbh I think we'll be losing a few if we have to rely on his goal kicking.
I've always been a fan of him as a player, I'm not paying him for that, it's his goal kicking.
Who are we kidding, Corey parker is one of the worst regualr goal kickers in the competition.

 

[schmix]

Just thought I'd throw some stats into the argument, take them as you please.

Goal kicking percentages:

2008
Corey Parker 79.07%
Hazem El Masri 77.27%

2007
Corey Parker 83.33%
Hazem El Masri 80.95%



Curiouser and curiouser... eusa_think

How many attempts on goal did each have? [icon_wink

 

[schmix]

Ooh it's gonna be like that is it?

2008
Corey Parker 34/43
Hazem El Masri 51/66

2007
Corey Parker 45/54
Hazem El Masri 85/105


As I said, just giving people the facts [icon_wink

 

[Kimlo]

and how many goals did corey kick in comparison?
76.47% Career average for Parker, Hazem career average 82% Mind you one is over 200 goals, and one is over 800 goals. Corey has kicked in most seasons about 50 goals, in the season he kicked a fair amount of goals 89 for example in 2006 he only had 70.79% where as hazem kicks above 100 easy per season. Not to mention hazem missed 4 in a row for his last game in 08 where he had a hammy problem take that last game out and he was 83.33 % for that season.

2003 Bulldogs 129/150-----86.00%
2004 Bulldogs 139/167-----83.23%
2005 Bulldogs 68/80--------85.00%
2006 Bulldogs 114/132-----86.36%
2007 Bulldogs 85/105-------80.95%
2008 Bulldogs 51/66--------77.27%

2009 Corey parker 33.33%, Hazem 100%.

I will again say, regardless of his career average of 76.47% he IMO is still one of the worst regular goal kicker in the nrl, along with cameron smith who knows how to miss but can just like corey parker be spot on sometimes.
---------------
Lockyer has a career average of 67.52 and devere just above parker at 76.62 but, parker has only kicked 200 goals it's not a fair comparison to someone like devere who has kicked 550.
On that, the best goal kicking percentage for a bronco (ever) who has kicked mroe than 1 or 2 goals is wallace at 8/10 at 80%, but 10 goals is only tiny, but who knows maybe he can take over kicking duites, he seemed ok with his kicks tbh,a nd falou also if i remeber from last year knows how to kick a goal as well. The broncos besides devere have never had a decent goal kicker really.

LOLZ broncopwn you just don't know when to take the hit and be quiet do you?

Parker had two SIDELINE conversions last night and one from close to sideline. Hardly enough evidence to give the responsibilities to someone else.

As for "how long does he get" to prove his kicking ability.....it's Round 1...LOLZ.

Give me a player first and kicker second > a kicker first and player second, any day, any game, anytime.

Stats look great on paper....
