He's 27. Christ.

And was one of the better players in our team last year.

Correction he was our best, judged by the people who know best! icon_thumbs_u

that will be good news to me. i like him as a plyer i know they all have their critics but to me if there is a break or hole in defence he always seems to pop up and be the person to close it or attempt to cover someone elses mistake. every team needs one of those even if he isnt the best ball playing lock.

So instead of giving a young bloke some game time, so he can learn these skills, lets not believe, give him the chance to impress, and learn, and have an old 30+ year old bloke hobbling around.

Sounds like a great plan for the future to me.

i dont think corey parker is hobbling around. i think he is still playing great football just more in a defencive aspect and not so much a ball playing attack focused sense.

you are more than welcome to have an opion that you would like a team without corey parker, lockyer, hodges and kenny who are all approximately the same age as corey or older. But i think all of those mentioned players still are playing well enough to warrant selction and bring something to every game that is beneficial to the broncos.

Balls.

I didn't read the thread and thought we were still on Petreo.

Please, carry on. Parker makes me happy.

thats ok. im just glad i re read what i wrote three times before going off on a tyrade lol.. i like corey parker and i would be keen for him to stay on a couple more.

 

[sydney_bronco09]

parker......mateo......mmmmmm i wonder?

 

[Kimlo]

Parker is one of my favorite players so I definitely hope he stays with the Broncos for life. He loves the club and respects it and is good on and off the field.

 

[lyn]

parker......mateo......mmmmmm i wonder?

Parker please.

 

[Clintos]

parker......mateo......mmmmmm i wonder?

Parker please.

Mateo is a better runner and ball player than Parker, however Parker is a better defender.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I can't stress enough how the Broncos have plenty of backrowers really no need to even contemplate signing Mateo.Also he os very hit and miss IMO I would take Stagg over him any day

 

[Clintos]

I didn't say we should sign him. I was making a point.

Not so much a player, but the rumblings are getting louder that Ricky Stuart is headed our way to fill a possible coaching directors roll. His deal apparently expires at the Sharks this year and he has no intention of renewing it. I'm not sure where this leaves Henjak. Whether the Broncos are planning for their future and want some more stability or just want an extra footy brain around the place, I don't know. What I do know is that Bruno and Ricky's camp have been in contact with each other.

As it is I think he is overrated as a coach and his success at the Roosters was mostly due to the groundwork of other people and the top playing roster and culture he inherited. There are merits in having him as an assistant of sorts where Henjak can take on board his best ideas and throw out the bad ones. However, as a head coach this guy is IMO, poison. He is far too intense and is by far and away the most negative coach tactics wise in the game. It would break my heart to see the Broncos play the wrestlemania, defense oriented, ugly style the Sharks have the last few years.

 

[Meat77]

I'm no Stuart fan but in fairness to him he really doesn't have much option but to play a Wrestlemania style at the Sharks with the roster he has. I just don't see him as a coaching director though - that sort of role is normally filled by a much older and wiser head than his

 

[Bucking Beads]

Ricky could help with fixing our problems with defence at the Broncos!!

 

[m1c]

Fair point Meat, however what most don't know is that Stuart had it written into his contract at the Sharks that he was to have full control over football spending, all contracts and development etc. The Sharks retention and recruitment over the last 3 years has been the worst in the league. Some baffling decisions have been made there. Into his fourth? season now, he has been weighed, measured and found wanting IMO.

Yeah but nobody wants to play for a club that is going broke, it also doesn't help him with all the off field problems the sharks have had. He was only 1 game away from the Grand Final in 2008 also.

Newcastle Knights chief executive Steve Burraston expects Chris Houston to officially resign from the NRL club on Wednesday afternoon.
Houston was charged with three counts of supplying ecstasy and one count of supplying cocaine on Monday and was stood down indefinitely by the club.

Burraston says Houston offered his resignation on Wednesday morning and the board would accept it.

"Chris Houston has indicated to me today that he will be resigning from Newcastle Knights," Burraston said.

Should the Broncos sign him?

Hey, figured I'd be the first douche to post speculation about yet another useless player on the market :P

 

[Meat77]

I say no just purely based on the fact that he clearly can't even pronounce his surname correctly!
