Former Broncos<\/a> skipper Corey Parker<\/a> has thrown down the gauntlet to superstar Reece Walsh<\/a>, declaring the fullback ace "hasn't done anything yet" in the lead-up to Sunday's clash with the Roosters<\/a> in Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Parker is a huge Walsh fan but believes the try-scoring ace still needs to prove himself at the elite level \u2013 starting with the historic clash against the Roosters.<\/p>\n

"There is no doubt that Reece has lit up the NRL<\/a>, but there are still some errors in his game at times," Parker told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

"I've had a lot to do with him since he was 15 and always knew he was a special talent.<\/p>\n

Parker played 347 matches for the Broncos between 2001-2016.\ufeff He was skipper in 2016 \u2013 the 16th and final final season of his career.<\/p>\n

"I'm excited to see what he has learned from last year, particularly the grand final, which was so painful for all the Broncos," Parker said.<\/p>\n

"On top of that, they have lost some real quality players and it's up to the young guys in the Broncos team like Reece to step up and fill the void."<\/p>\n

Parker won't be in Las Vegas for the weekend extravaganza but will still play his part in the historic double header.<\/p>\n

"I'm hosting a 'Viva non-Vegas' party at Sydney's Star City for all those people who couldn't make the trip over," he said.<\/p>\n

"It's free entry and should be a great afternoon's entertainment watching the games on the casino's big screens.<\/p>\n

"There will be other personalities there mingling with the fans and I can't wait."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
