The Canberra Raiders’ split with Corey Parker is very legitimate, and the NRL club is not at all impressed with comments made by the football legend turned commentator.
In a recent column, Parker revealed he would not like to play for the Raiders and claimed Canberra is not a good place to live.
Canberra coach Ricky Stuart was, predictably, furious with Parker’s assessment, while there are suggestions Raiders stars will turn down interviews with the Broncos great, who works as a pundit for Fox League.
And when Parker was present at the Raiders’ game against the Wests Tigers earlier this month, he received a cold welcome at GIO Stadium.
“Great to see Canberra tourism ambassador Corey Parker in the house!” The club posted along with a photo of ‘Cozza’ next to the field.

But Parker insists he has no ill will toward the Raiders or the capital city, despite his comments.
“I saw a sign on the wall (in the Raiders locker room) that said, ‘Fuck you,’ and it’s clearly directed at the media,” Parker said.
‘There is no problem with Ricky on my part.
‘The Raiders put me on their Instagram the other day as their defense minister.
‘If Canberra is listening to my opinion, heaven help us.
‘I wrote an article saying the Raiders weren’t a club I would go to for various reasons, but it’s nothing personal against Ricky or the club.
“If I see him and he brushes against me, I guess that’s what it is, but if I were a player again, I would love to play with Ricky because I can see that he cares about his players.”
