Kevin Walters' return to the Fox League commentary box has caused a stir among NRL fans, with many questioning the network's decision to let go of the beloved Corey Parker.
Walters, fresh off his stint as Brisbane Broncos coach, has been back in the box for the trial games, but Parker's departure after nine years with Fox Sports hasn't sat well with fans.
Parker, in a December statement, expressed his disappointment at the network's choice to go with another "Queensland" option, leaving him out in the cold.
Despite his support for Walters' sacking from the Broncos, Parker found himself on the receiving end of Fox Sports' decision, which led him to take on a new role in breakfast radio.
As Walters took to the commentary box for the trial games, reviews of his performance were less than stellar.
Social media was ablaze with criticism, with one fan lamenting the loss of Parker for Walters.
Another commenter didn't mince words, calling Walters' commentary "awful" and bemoaning the current state of NRL commentary overall.
It seems that Walters' return hasn't quite hit the mark with fans, leaving many to wonder if the decision to replace Parker was the right one.
