He was once accused of not showing senior players enough respect, but now Canterbury firebrand David Klemmer believes retiring Brisbane captain Corey Parker is calling it quits too early.After a personal feud that fed State of Origin headlines for almost a year, Klemmer and Parker buried their hatchet after the Queensland forwards final interstate game in Sydney last month.However, on the eve of what could be their last one-on-one duel on Thursday night, the NSW enforcer has gone one step further, saying the 34-year-old Parker hasnt jumped the gun on retirement from the NRL.At the start of the year or end of last year, he was talking about playing on for a couple more years. Now he thinks this is the right choice for him, Klemmer told AAP.But I reckon he could still go around for a couple more years if he wanted to. Hes a class player and hes be looking for a big game on Thursday because hes the captain.Klemmer said he was glad to have approached Parker after Origin III to ensure any lingering animosity between the pair had dissipated, and to pay tribute for such a decorated career.Not many people can play 300-plus first grade games. I know I wouldnt get there, Klemmer said.Hes in an elite group. Hes won a comp, hes won a World Cup and hes won Origin. Not many people can do that. Theres a rare couple that do.We had a yarn after Origin and were on level terms at the moment. We dont talk much because were obviously in different states but we had a good chat after the game, which was good for both of us.Klemmer admits the Bulldogs, despite winning six of their past seven to sit in fourth spot on the ladder, have been unconvincing in the build-up to next months finals series.But he believes the close nature of their results means they are also match-hardened.I wouldnt say its frustrating. Were playing for each other and you can see it, he said.Its building good team morale. If we do get in those situations, were going to know how it feels and how to grind games out. If we want to play semi-finals though, we have to play for the full 80 minutes. Craig Hartsburg Stars Jersey .

Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins returned home to play San Jose. In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head.Yaya Toure will leave Manchester City this summer, according to his agent, and has various offers on the table. Dimitri Seluk claims the midfielder will assess his options at the end of the season as he ponders his future with just one year remaining on his contract at the Etihad.The 32-year-old Ivory Coast international joined City from Barcelona for £24m in July 2010 - where he was sold by incoming City manager Pep Guardiola - but now looks set for a fresh chapter in his career. We have waited too long, Seluk said. Manchester City promised a deal but nothing has materialised so Yaya will leave in June.Yaya is disappointed of course. But he is a professional and he remains under contract so he will continue to do his best for City.One option for Toure is Inter Milan, who are coached by former City boss Roberto Mancini, and Seluk said in an interview with FC Inter News that wages will not be the deciding factor in where he moves. It appears that there will be no City reunion for Pep Guardiola and Toure Various offers have arrived for Yaya and were evaluating them, but no decision has been taken yet for next season, Seluk said.ddddddddddddWill the economic aspect make the difference? Absolutely not. We dont put money before everything, but the project the club presents us. The best will convince us.Inter? Were definitely talking about a great club and everyone knows about the relationship between Yaya and Mancini, but like Ive already said, we havent made any decision yet.But Ill add that the Nerazzurris project is great and Inter is a fantastic club. So its normal that they want a player of this level. Also See: De Bruyne not certain for PSG Saturdays Opta stats Robben: Pep is 24-7 football Get a free ￡10 bet ' ' '
