Lockyer vs Langer

[Professor47]

Had a pub convo about this the other day -

Langer vs Lockyer?

 

[dukey]

They're equally as shit as each other. No way would I want either one on my team.

 

[Charmamba]

Youve seriously asked the question that no Bronco supporter should be forced to answer. its like saying "what kid do you love more"

 

[lynx000]

If I had to choose, it would be Lockyer I think.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Ive been a Langer mark all my life, never have i said that anyone is better than Langer. But lately Ive been thinking about this, and Lockyer really does have a genuine claim at being better than Langer.

Lockyers awesome career is winding down, now the question has to be asked, is Lockyer better than Lewis?

 

[Flutterby]

It is too difficult to compare. They have both had I would say an equal impact but in different ways due to the way the game was/is at the time of their respective careers and their team-mates.

 

[Prince Langer]

IMO Langer sh*ts all over Lockyer and Lewis(his time at the Broncos)
Langer is the greates player to have put on the boot. Yes i am biased but IIRC Langer played 7 for Australia and A Johns played 9. So i think this proves my point if peple are saying Johns was the greatest.

Langer won 4 premierships with the Broncos compared to Lockerys 1 so i see no contest cause at the end of the day it is premierships that matter.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Lockyers won 4 premierships.

 

[Coxy]

Lockyers won 4 premierships.

I'm guessing PL is meaning as captain, because you're exactly right.

And Kevin Walters and Michael Hancock won 5. Does that make them better?

 

[Black Philip]

Langer mastered the No.7 like no other player I have ever seen, including Johns. His vision in regards to his kicking was second to none.
Lockyer is the only player I can remember who was a world class playmaker from fullback, able to move into the second receiver role and control a game with ease. That's as well as having the same brilliant attributes of any other great fullback; speed, agility, defence, returns. Not nearly as dominant for as long at 5/8, and his form in the last couple of years hasn't been as great but his 2006 feats showed anyone with half a brain that he was surely amongst the best who have worn the no.6 Jersey.

As draggx said, it's like being asked to say which kid you love more. Not that I have kids, but I can imagine that would be a question that couldn't be answered. That's unless one of my kids was the new Hitler or tried to kill me, those would be deal-breakers.

 

[Kimlo]

Lockyer.

 

[ningnangnong]

You just can't split them.

They have both played resounding roles in our success on the field.

Both deserving of equal recognition IMO.

 

[gUt]

Lockyer v Langer at what? I think Lockyer deserves to be given the title 'Greatest Bronco Of All Time' but I honestly don't know who I would pick for my team. Lockyer maybe.

 

[pennywisealfie]

this question will be better answered when Lockyer is 36 lol. then we can start to compare.

 

[Charmamba]

Lockyer.

how can you just go "Lockyer" and not explain why?

I really cant make up my mind, if i was to say Lockyer it would be because i still see him play now. If i said Langer its because he was my fav player as a kid.

 

[Fozz]

Lockyer.

They are both champion players but I give to Lockyer because I think he has more all round skill than Langer. Better long kicking game and a better passing game in my opinion. Alfie also had more champion players around him than Locky so his job was easier.

I'm more with this...

Also I guess I 'sort of' mean for the Broncs and premiership footy... clearly Lewis was the best origin player to this day, I dont think ANYONE in the RL world doubts this.

 

[Charmamba]

yeh origin Lewis may be the best but for the Broncos he isnt even in the top 20
