"He Pulled Up A Bit Sore" | Broncos Injury Means Corey Parker May See More Playing Time In The NRL 9s

We knew he was Perth-bound - with a footy in one hand and a Broncos jersey in the other - but Corey Parker may see a bit more playing time than originally expected.

Brisbane's assistant coach and former captain announced last week that he was coming out of retirement for the NRL 9s this weekend.

Listen below:

Parker also answered, once and for all, whether the reason he came out of retirement was purely to avoid Valentine's Day with our own Margaux.

"Correct," the 37-year-old said to much laughter. "Unfortunately, darling, I won't be there!"
