Yeah I thought Tate was one of the best in both semi's.
I just read the other thread.The Colonel said:Berrigan and Carroll haven't been named in the train on squad..... so it won't happen.

Misty Bee said:Lockyer at 5/8 is a failed experiment. This is odd, because at fullback, he was always playing 5/8!
I think he is playing with a vastly overratd team. He did his best, and Webcke was outstanding in the first half, as was Darren Smith and Petero. Bazza Berrigan - a toiler at best, toiled his arse of. Tate put in a big effort. The rest were crap - nothing more than trumped up nuffies. There was no support play - that ain't Lockyer's fault. However, it's obvious that he has rrached his talent's peak - he is now a Kevin Walters - and desperately needs a Steve Renouf to compliment him.
He has none in Brisbane, nor in SOO. This year, his form doesn't warrant selection in the touring side.
Scary thought - his club coach is yesterday's man with yesterdays ideas, and is also national coach and selector. If Bennet picks sh*t like S. Berrigan, Carroll, Thorn etc in the test side, and leaves Joey out of the equasion, we are doomed.

Dykes better go to the eagles so he can play 5/8
The Colonel said:I'm not being funny. I actually think it would be a good purchase by the Broncos.

no thanks ... but thanks for your concern
Oink !
drake said:Regardless of what anyone thinks Lockyer will 5/8th and captain, it's a no brainer. Bennett has had a new thought since 2002.
Who do I reckon will be picked?
1. Minichiello (great player, needs a rest should be hodgson.)
I thought the same thing about Seymour, should have made a dive and it looked like if he did he could have slowed Marshall down a bit at least.Pigskin said:I reckon Locky thought Seymour would get Marshall ... and he should have ... his lack of a dive/ankle-tap was very ordinary indeed
on top of which, Lockyer just came off a hamstring injury
I'd back Lockyer to beat Marshall in a sprint race over 40 or 100m ... with both 100% fitness ... but i'd back Marshall in a game of Frogger :shock:
Oink !

That is what Lockyer has had to go through this year for the Broncos.
B-dos said:Boo-hoo for Lockyer. All teams have their main play maker who provides most of the attacking options. Johns does it week in and week out for whatever team he plays for. Lockyer is far from being the best player in the world as some people have tried to claim in the past. He is a great fullback and should have remained there. But these days he wouldnt even make the test side over Mini.
