I don't think there would be a team more willing to check the condition of Locky's cheek, than Manly. Broncs to get up in a thriller - Missing Glen Stewart the difference.

 

[goosie]

glen stewart is back for this game aint he????

Negatory.

Last game he has to sit out.

want the donkeys to win, nobody wants to see a eagles/scum GF, lucky to get 4k crowd

 

[ceagle]

Triple m twitter are reporting that Lockyer has had 2 plates inserted to his face. Don't know if that is true though.

Edit

Brisbane Broncos coach Anthony Griffin to announce at 12:30pm (EST) whether Darren Lockyer will play against Manly. Watch the press conference Live on Fox Sports News (Channel 513).

 

[blake2101]

If they are calling a press conference one would assume he would not be playing.

 

[ceagle]

They are saying he is 50/50 for Friday.

 

[woodyk2]

Playing 5/6 days after that kind of surgery is pretty doubtfull.

 

[ceagle]

Imagine the wank fest if he does play. We will hear about for years.

 

[user_nat]

Broncos and Manly haven't met in the finals since 1994, pretty amazing.

Awwwww....is that too much for you to cope with

Awwwww....is that too much for you to cope with

I think it has been too much for everyone already.

 

[Mr Saab]

Everybody else? That includes you. Dont blame Lockyer or Brisbane for the "love"......just cause Manly have no one who gives a f**k about

 

[ceagle]

I am not blaming Locky, I am blaming the media.

 

[woodyk2]

Awesome informed observation.

 

[devoid]

Wow - changes my vote; TRex to run right through Lockyer's cheek wound all night - Manly.

 

[ceagle]

We have handled the week off in previous years well, with a 28-6 win over the Cowboys in 2007 and a 32-6 win over the Warriors in 2008. I reckon the Broncos will be buggered, 6 day turnaround and they have travel to Sydney, plus teams that plays the Dragons rarely back up with a win.

Three plates into his face in surgery last night. 50/50 is being very generous. Sadly I think it's over and Lockyer knew it when being interviewed after the game last night.
