In the months leading up to his retirement, Lockyer said he wanted to be an NRL coach in the long-term.
Maroons coach Mal Meninga then said Lockyer would be groomed to take over from him as Queensland's State of Origin coach.
Lockyer has since backed away from mentoring aspirations, and is known to be enjoying his diverse media commitments, but his role at the Broncos is a clear indication he may yet have designs on a clipboard in the future.
"He comes in every Friday and sits in our video review sessions and helps out where he can," Griffin said of his team's former captain.
"He started working with us at the end of last year.
"If he sees something he points it out and talks to the guys about it.
"He is really just a sounding board for our players.
"It is not just Norman he's been good for, his advice has been great for Prince and Peter Wallace as well.
"Our backs have got a lot out of it.
"I think he'll stay on. I hoped he does.
"It perhaps depends upon his commitments with Channel 9."
Lockyer's role at the club is casual and anything more formal is unlikely in the next 24 months.
Griffin also confirmed the Broncos wanted the man who inherited Lockyer's jersey, Norman, to remain at the club and saw the often-criticised playmaker in their long-term plans. With Prince's arrival at Red Hill, many considered Norman's tenure at the club to be on shaky ground.
Off-contract at year's end, the talented but inconsistent Beenleigh product has courted interest from the Parramatta Eels.
Griffin said that interest was a positive for the 22-year-old.
"Of course someone like Corey is going to attract interest from other clubs," Griffin said.
"I think it is a good thing for him that people are interested in him.
"We want to keep him here.
"We have been in discussions with his management and we are going through that process."
Norman wants to stay at the Broncos and it will take a substantial offer to lure him away from Red Hill.
It is understood the Broncos have been negotiating with Norman for weeks, while there is no formal offer from the Eels on the table.
