Rodney's Half-Back Going To Sydney
Rodney's hero of the Harding Shield match against Bay of Islands last year half-back W. Parker, leaves shortly on transfer to Sydney. Parker, only 21 years of age, was picked as the most likely Northland pivot to step into the representative boots of Hikurangi’s Des Codling, who is approaching retiring age. The coming of M. N. Paewai to the Bay of Islands, however, would have presented a hurdle to the ycung Rodney man. Parker hopes to play Rugby in Sydney. • He is also a fine amateur boxer. His father was one of New Zealand’s best professionals in several weights 20 years ago.
