Parker: CMake Sheezel his apprentice.
Parker: C
Sheeze & Xerri: VCs
Leadership: Larkey, Scott, Logue, Comben (maybe Jy).
Who says LMac wouldn’t take it well?Harry shouldn't be offered it.... let him develop personally before burdening with captaincy. Jy and Lmac wouldn't take it well, but then again neither should be in our best 23 if we had a team challenging for finals

Either way we win in the long run.IF (and it's a big IF) Parker did sign with us.......
He walks in the doors & takes 3 or 4 weeks to observe the goings on within our list & compares it to what he's used to over the last 10+ years at Sydney.
Starts to lay down the law re standards, professionalism, etc
Then it could go one of two ways:
1. The players take note of what he's saying & strive to improve. The obvious ones are Sheez, X, Chom, Arch, Wardlaw.
2. The ones are so used to being in their comfort zone on their juicy long term contracts form a what's app chat group & start bitching about this ring in trying to upset their Apple cart.
But why are we not attractive destination for top players?
The answer is not as obvious as because we are at bottom.
Firstly: We don't have anywhere near the top 8 medical team.
Second: Our ability to develop players is terrible.
Third: Post career opportunities
We need to forget about recruiting any xyz names until we professional raise the standard drastically first.

Angus Sheldrick would be one. Ball magnet who wins lots of clearances, but doesn't have much pace. Would be better depth than Lazz or Will, though he maybe isn't the type we would be after.No that wasn't what I was saying! I was asking if any of these plethora of kids are currently being left out because Parker is in? I can't think of any

EAD saints, go and recruit Curtis Taylor.
What do you know about our medical team?
If Parker comes do we make him captain? For 1-2 years

One of them is already not in our best 23 and we were a whisker off finishing last let alone challenging for the finals.Harry shouldn't be offered it.... let him develop personally before burdening with captaincy. Jy and Lmac wouldn't take it well, but then again neither should be in our best 23 if we had a team challenging for finals

PSD?
Sheldrick would get regular games for us. Caiden Cleary and Corey Warner are also behind Parker, but no chance they would let either go.Yeah not a fan when he was playing last year. So basically Parker isn't keeping anyone out then
