Corey Parker has warned rugby league may struggle to keep Reece Walsh, fearing the global nature of rugby union could one day appeal to the Brisbane superstar.
Fresh off one of the greatest grand-final performances in history, Walsh's star has risen further after a spellbinding Test debut in Australia's series-opening Ashes win.
Walsh enters the second Test in Everton as the most talked about rugby league player in England, after scoring two tries, breaking five tackles and running 243 metres in last week's win at Wembley.
