Lockyer's next big challenge

[cornerposter]

There's a bit of pressure on the captain this week. He's got a new 7 beside him & is coming up against Benny Roberts who gave him a bit of towelling last time they met.

On the plus side, I reckon Lockyer's starting to hit his straps so hopefully he's ready for some payback. Looking forward to the duel. =P~

Unfortunately I don't think his defense has improved since then.

 

[screeder]

You're right cornerman. These things would have to be on his mind a bit. Poor bastard probably can't even talk yet either.

 

[renouf]

IMO Lockyer looks tired out on the field just after half time.. I don't know how he is going to play Origin.

Lockyer is the best! Without him, Broncos would be nothing

well he won a gf with shane perry outside him....

plus roberts is in nowhere near the form he was last year

Thanks for the scoop. Any thoughts on what's needed to get over Roberts?

 

[user_nat]

A decent defender next to him, which hasn't been the case so far this year either.

 

[screeder]

Defend Dodds inside him

He was also what, 29? Lockyer is showing his age this year. Without Wallace we are in trouble.

Bring back TC! Bring back TC!

 

[user_nat]

I agree. TC has no right retiring until Lockyer does.

 

[bron_cos]

OMG TC is too slow and too old but i will give him that he can hit someone and they stay hit

 

[Broncos fan!]

Might as well bring De Vere back while we are at it.

And Alfie too, Ben Hunt can watch from the sidelines and safely know that he will be protected by the former hitmen haha.

I don't think Lockyer is showing his age or looking tired at all. He has had a better start to the season than he has in recent seasons.

This was also the first year in 4 years he was able to do a full preseason, since he had no injuries.
