somewhere somehow he has pissed off the wrong person and is paying for it...
But the coach is in charge of selection
Three different coaches he pissed off?

@Duluth why would coaches say good things about him if he pissed them off?
Why would they not play him if they think he is good enough?
Just strikes me as odd, not necessarily on MOulds (just seems I am vociferous on his defence cos he is from Northland, if Apisai wasnt shit I'd be backing his case too) the fact we have that many coaches that rate Parsons so highly...as I said last week, one of the highalnders coaches mentioned Parsons was always excellent, so is that some of the data they see we dont that shows he is a beast or something?
But even so, still doesnt explain why in this day and age of rugby, when the bench is important, Parsons is played for such huge minutes so often (when whoever is on the bench)
-
Because the coaches (3 in a row) don't rate the 2nd/3rd choice hookers? Despite what they say in the media.
Why keep picking him in the squad? Well there's no one else and they have experimented with the 3rd hooker spot.That seems like the most simple explanation.
Unless you have heard something else you haven't said on here?

none of that explains why you drop a hooker who plays well for 25mins for a guy who struggles almost everytime he takes the park...and dont even release him to play club rugby.
The not releasing him part is simple. If someone turns an ankle on match day we need the third hooker in Dunedin

Highlanders defence looking solid so far.
