ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict

— HOLD

Parker posts 99 in a 68-point road loss to Adelaide — above his 72 BE and averaging 95.5 while the rest of North's midfield was swamped. Two consecutive above-BE scores (94, 99) confirm the R8 context-driven sell call was right to act on but the recovery is real. At $491.4k with cash gen barely ticking at $700/rd, price growth has stalled. Hold — the DPP DEF value and scoring floor are the reason you keep him, not further price gains.

Described as a smokie who is not losing his role; noted as less of a scoring glutton than Kershaw/Ash but the role appears secure.
