The Sad Decline of Darren Lockyer as a Player and Leader

[Alec]

Was he even out there today? Didn't see him at all, definite decline.

Well I think Corey Parker has shown he is definitely next in line for permanent captaincy when Lockyer hangs up the boots.

I think Thaiday is also raising his hand. But I'm happy with either really.

Lockyer was shit today, did nothing, it was like he wasn't out there

 

[Bucking Beads]

He was pure AWESOME tonight... A good sign for the Broncos IMO.

Should probably just sticky this thread by this point.

 

[Alec]

Hahaha, I love this thread.

 

[Nashy]

Lockyer sucks.

 

[PETERN]

If there is one thing i want him to win before he retires, it is the Dally M, it would just cap off a complete career.

 

[Bond]

Playing his best footy in years... oh such a decline...

 

[gUt]

Come on Darren, time to move aside. You have enough MotM's.

The pass for Folau's try is pretty much the most incredible thing I have seen on a field the way he feigns and then throws the ball in reverse and manages to throw the cut out onto Folau's chest is just masterful.

Are you happy with his defence nowadays? :P

Yeah, it's a shame he's never won one, but I think it's unlikely to happen now

Unfortunately Dally M awards are favoured for dominant players in teams. Lockyer, while definitely the dominant player at the Broncos for the best part of a decade, you wouldn't say is on his own out there, so other star players attract points.

Oh well.

It certainly goes up a gear in Maroon and Sammy is certainly taken on that marshaling job beautifully now, good on him he isn't perfect but he has certainly stopped a few of the leaks he did have.

Yep, exactly. That's why I don't really put too much value on the Dally M award, nor the fact Lockyer has never won one. Have a look at some of the players that have won it over the past decade. You'd hardly call them superstars of the game

 

[Jeba]

The sad, sad decline.
