Lockyer Out

[Minh]

It's official Lockyer has pulled out of clash against Manly, Broncos gonesky IMO.

Sanity prevails.....no way would he or should he have been allowed to play 6 days after a fractured cheekbone and facial surgery.

Yep very unfortunate ending to the greatest NRL career of all time, good luck Locky.

 

[ghostface]

It's a real shame that his career may end like this... i think the broncos may employ a "DO IT FOR LOCKY" catchcry for their upcoming match.

 

[Rocket]

What a shame. I hope if (when!) they beat Manly he is able to play in the GF.

 

[God-King Dean]

According to Rothfield.....

 

[Fingerbang]

The bigger shame is that Beale didn't ko his captain a week earlier.

 

[Willow]

According to Rothfield.....

There was a media conference about it around the time he 'scooped' it. Pretty obvious too that something was up when the press release went out earlier this morning.

I can imagine when Beale goes up to take a Manly bomb on the weekend that the crowd will be screaming "Watch out Locky!"

I think they should play Boys To Men "End of the road" by the end of this week.:sarcasm:

I hear you. But the Courier Mail is a shit newspaper and all journalists should be first up against the wall come the revolution. Lockyer is a decent bloke and regardless of the media hanging on his every movement the Qlder and Australian in me wishes him the best.

And maybe 15 years away from Brisbane has mellowed my loathing of the Broncos (not by much though).

 

[Minh]

This Manly vs Broncos game will be a close contest even without Lockyer. Broncos can win.

 

[redvwhite]

Broncos 22 Manly 18...u heard it here first. Manly are pretty good but I think Broncos are pretty solid and if they play like they did last week, Manly won't hold them out a la that defiant Dragons wall of defence.

LONG LIVE ST GEORGE

Yes I do agree he seems a decent bloke and been a good player...but enough was enough....anyway thanks Manly for putting it to bed at long last...still Im sure there will be a street parade soon .....and he will get his voice fixed and take his place on the Footy Show panel...(Oh joy I can hardly wait)...... and as for tonites game The Broncos were competative but its was a different story for them having to play on someone elses turf instead of the golden run they have been having at Suncorp...anyway lets hurry up and get the Lockyer st parade done and dusted so we can read or see something else in the press......hes had more coverage than a large tin of Dulux
