I can believe that, He's been one of the only ones doing the hard stuff, the one's that fans rarely notice but coaches do.
Argus said:I am a huge fan of Corey Parker. As another poster said he does the little things that fans don't notice but teammates and coaches appreciate. I understand why a lot of fans bag him as he doesn't pull off the big hits or one out runs that look flashy. That isn't his role in the team.
This is how I see his role:
eg. covers bad reads by others in defence, prevents offloads by assisting the first up tackler, doesn't go missing after a hit up, often provides a link between the forwards and backs, always chases kicks well, always gets onside at the ruck, doesn't rush up one out looking for a big hit and leaving a gap, doesn't give away stupid penalties, shows dicipline in everything he does, basically he is a reliable team player who can be counted on for a solid 80 minte effort each week.
