Finals Week 3 - Sea Eagles vs Broncos - Build Up Thread

[jarro65]

I'll be happy with whatever decision Locky comes up with.

Anyone got a ticket pre-sale code I can use? I was going to wait because I know it won't sell out, but I'm getting antsy and just want to get them in my hot little hands!

I will ask my friend cos she's the primary season member holder in our group.

Just had Lockyer on nova can't see him not playing unless something goes horribly wrong.

 

[Steve]

Pretty confident he'll want to play. Whether he can go the whole game is another matter.

Thanks Kris, I got codes from a couple of lovely people so don't stress if you haven't already!

Where you sitting, Steve? Don't be a snob now, get a cat 3 Broncos tix with our crew!

Man it feels like 2006! Just the build up and everything. Feels crazy!

Ahh sorry bloke already bought cat 1 seats... Am a few bays over in bay 37 though so you'll all be within earshot. Look forward to hearing your good work this Friday.

Geez Rocky, and you thought I was a snob. Look at all these guys buying tickets outside of Bay 40. :cheesy:

You can shoot the code my way if you could be bothered so I can get the right bay for my Ning-stalking!

Something like say, a fractured cheek bone and 3 plates inserted into his face....

Err, he had that before the interview :P

To be honest I think he's talking it up and talking it up, but I think they're all aware he won't play. I'm very interested to know who they have running at 5/8 at training this week.

Done and done...and I mean done.

Oh really? Of course he did.

I would be very, very surprised if he plays. VERY surprised. I don't think he should either. In my heart I want him to play, but in my head I think he should play it safe. He has a lot more years ahead of him, don't want Watmeow or Cattai ruining his eye sight or worse.

 

[nathano11]

I reckon he'll play

DARREN Lockyer says he is feeling ‘a hell of a lot better’ and is leaning towards playing against the Sea Eagles with a fractured cheekbone this Friday.

Lockyer told Broncos’ sponsors Nova 106.9 this morning that he had recovered well from the surgery yesterday morning that inserted three plates to stabilise his injury.

He was talking perfectly and said he had eaten breakfast this morning, showing his recovery had already started.

“It feels a lot better after the surgery,” Lockyer told the Nova Breakfast Crew.

“I am eating well and talking fine and I feel a hell of a lot better.”

Lockyer said there was only minimal risk to the injury if he did decide to pay, and that the decision would be his and his alone.

“At the end of the day the decision is mine and I have to live with it,” he said.

“The scans showed I needed some plates and it is solid as a rock now. If I get through the next couple of days of training I will be leaning towards playing.

“I have played over 350 games of NRL footy and been hit in the cheekbone just twice.”

Locky said no matter what happened this week. He would always remember last Saturday where he kicked a field goal in extra time to win his last match at Suncorp Stadium.

“I guess that being my last moment at that stadium, that was the way to finish it there – i will always remember that,” he said.

Cameras will be all over him at training on Wednesday (I imagine that'll be the first day he'll have a run IMO).
