Decent side, I like the look of our backrow mostly and of course it's superb to see a bunch of our represenative players back.

A very important match this week!

Any chance of Lockyer returning

 

[Clintos]

No chance. Only started running this week. Didn't train on Monday. Doctors won't let him return ahead of schedule.

 

[JW]

Any chance of Lockyer returning

I don't care how his knee is holding up at present, i'd hate to see him back in the team in short term. At this stage of his career he really can't afford to stuff up his recovery, and so far that's all he's done.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

couriermail says that he's in for a shock return this week!!

God I hope not.... Don't want to risk anything with Lockyer's knee.

yer fox sports news also says that he could be in for a shock return.

Its pay back for when the eels smashed us at the end of last year.

Broncos by 50, its payback time

 

[Frank_Grimes]

I think it's a positive. Parramatta will obviously run a lot of traffic at Lockyer, but that's been the gameplan of any opposing team for the last 4 years. Enter Tonie Carroll.

 

[Rastus_in_Melbourne]

The Eels are screwed. Lockyer off the bench maybe and Wallace at #7. The question isn't who will win but by how much will the Broncs.

Lockyer's knee this Lockyer's knee that, no guts, no glory. If he feels right, he's right.

 

[Dazzat]

This will be a close contest IMO. Finch and Mateo are hitting their straps and Finch will want to prove something against Wallace. They (Parra) have been underachieving. It will be a wet track ... so can't see a big score by either side.

Lockyer Primed To Take On The Eels

NRL

Darren Lockyer has been cleared to play in tonight’s NRL match at Suncorp Stadium and will suit up against the Parramatta Eels.
Lockyer has run the past two days, and an intensive training session with the team yesterday has convinced medical staff he is ready to go.
The Bronco captain consulted with club physiotherapy staff this morning and reported no associated soreness in his knee.
Lockyer’s inclusion means David Taylor will be 18th man for the match that begins at 7.45pm.

good hes got no soreness associated with his knee, just in time for origin aswell

 

[salivor]

If there was no Origin then Lockyer would be sitting on the sidelines tonight. You can't tell me he's not being rushed back again and I just really hope this time that he doesn't suffer pain again and we go back to sqaure one.

 

[Raudonikis]

it wont matter anyway,parra are ready to assume the mantle as the team to beat after stuffing around the last 10 weeks

I'll be smiling for a few more days yet (at least until Hodgo gets done at the judiciary for a few weeks).

 

[lockyno1]

He'll get off

 

[Twigg]

Doesn't Hodges have carry over points from the begining of the season.

If he were to get off then it's Origin bias.

Oh and:

3: Grothe
2: Grothe
1: Grothe

Insane game. How the hell did we do that..

 

[Ghoulies]
