NEWS Lockyer on Reynolds and Broncos' one non-negotiable item in 2022

[Sproj]

Yep great player and should have nothing to do with the club now other than being a figurehead with no actual power.

He should be what Tallis is for the Titans, just the odd puff piece, give him an ambassador salary maybe pop into training twice a year before big games.

And claim credit for signing any Fifita (goodness me there's enough of them in league these days).

Frankly I'm shocked Locky went the executive rather than coaching route. If he sucks at negotiation and communicating, the logical thing to do is to go with the avenue that best suits your existing talents, and for him that's directing players and mentoring. So an assistant coach gig makes the most sense rather than sitting in a board room.

I'm guessing he did it for the money, but that is the least Locky sounding thing ever.

People who claim credit for signing players or Fifita’s?

Every club gets a Fifita!

Perhaps he's just one of those dudes that is born with it but can't really pass it on. Plenty of them exist.

Doesnt get paid that much for it compared to what he'd get elsewhere and even if he did, he wouldn't do media.

Does he even know what ‘it’ is?

Locky was held up as a stoic, morally faultless, football god which is something that no one could actually live up to. It’s hard for us to accept that off the field he’s just an average guy - flaws and all.

The Darren Lockyer that existed in my childhood memory was a Santa Claus.

I don't think anyone is genuinely disappointed in Darren. He's just been part of a board that has overseen our worst run ever. It's not all his fault but for a guy that spewed excellence on the field it's a bit of a fall from grace for him.

I just don’t believe he can be effective as both board member and rugby league commentator at the same time.

I just don’t believe he can be effective as both board member and rugby league commentator at the same time.

On the field it was almost as if he could have a million moves planned out and pull the trigger on the right one almost every time.

When he’s commentating, he sounds like he can barely articulate one clear message.

It’s anyone’s guess if he’s any better in the boardroom.
