I reckon he is at his peak as as they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks so I reckon Parker is not our future

Agree not convinced - I reckon we will do better with Ross, Junior, Stack, RCD, Martyn, Hugo etc and try and nail a couple more youngsters to work with.
If Pickett goes then it makes sense to keep a hard nut inside mid on the list
No disrespect to the lad but extremely disappointing if true. Limited footballer. Aim for quality RFC.
People bemoan that we don’t have depth, and want to delist him. He is our depth plug and play from the wing to a forward option. I’m happy to give him another year based on what I have seen on his limited preparation and time learning the game plan.
Geez, the guy came into the club half way through the year, he did good to even play a game learning our system.
That alone would be worth a contract and also would be on min chips, we need players like him on the list to allow us to keep players like dusty and shai.
If he is our depth we are in a good position.

Agreed I reckon hit site in the 18-26 range of players. We will be picking up another 5-6 youngsters who may not be physically capable of playing next year. Again 1 year at minimum. He might surprise
Not sure who said it , I thought you’d be thrilled
played every game like it was his last , I’d like to think with a contract he may relax a little and play with a bit more composure, meaning a better all round player
Agree with giving him another year for all the valid reasons given above, essentially a depth player who is hard at it and has decent pace, room for improvement too.
However, still think the Bummers probably pinched our preferred pick - Durham - so I have been tracking his/their progress:
Arguably Parker ahead so far but then you scroll down and see DEF%, intercepts, TOs and CPs. With Durham 5 years younger, I'm pretty clear on who I would have taken if I could.

Sure we need a hard nut in the guts of our team but not sure that Parker is a suitable hard nut with much else to offer
