Updated - Lockyer rules himself out of Manly match

[Coxy]

I'm with rock. Comparing the knee is Luke comparing apples and oranges. He could have done real permanant damage to his knee, from all reports, this isn't the case with his face.

Why is Luke comparing apples and oranges?

 

[Nashy]

Because they ate both delicious.

He could be a greengrocer.

LOL! Autocorrect strikes again.

Manly fans are saying that the NRL should step in and not let Darren Lockyer play. They reckon it's disgraceful that he's allowed to play and that he sets a bad example to young kids etc etc.

FOAD, Manly.

Lol. I ####ing HATE Manly.

If pain is the only issue, he'll play. He's got nothing to lose as there's no risk of re-injury. This is his last season, he doesn't have to worry about anything else. He'll get a few needles before the game and he'll be fine.

Jeb, a knee injury like that is different to this. He had his whole career ahead of him in 2007 and there is massive chance of re-injury with a knee.

My predicition - He'll play.

I wasn't comparing the two injuries at all. Was just pointing out that Lockyer has had the experience before in which he made a call on whether or not to play. He's gone on the record admitting he got that call wrong so I'm sure he won't make the same mistake.

I would say there's more chance of getting cheap shotted in the face in AFL so he has a point.

clutching at straws much? like any young kid would have any idea of the extent of lockys injury. like any young kid even cares to follow the media attention around it. they will see locky run out and they'll be excited and say "theres my hero dad!" and thats about it.

By that reasoning, Manly should be kicked out of the comp.

Noone knew about his injury & he didn't have surgery.

My brother went to training this morning. He said that while there was no real contact Locky got through the whole session as far as he could see.

Yeah, someone posted a story on Brisbane Times about it saying the same thing. I'm looking forward to seeing photos of him though. Have a look at the swelling etc.

Just been reading some posts on Silvertails.net. They are very unhappy that Locky's allowed to play. Some of the posters even managed to link it to some Gallop-led conspiracy against Manly.
I hate Manly.

Kinda off topic..

But that's a nice looking forum they have there...

 

[noisetheory]

they got more threads than fans at a semi final.

Don't be hating on me but I'll be disappointed if Lockyer plays, you break a cheekbone you are out for a month or more. He could last 1 min with just a tap on the face.
