Updated - Lockyer rules himself out of Manly match

[Kimlo]

Ughhh headgear. It would be so weird to see Locky with headgear but whatever it takes to get the great man on the field.

 

[ethos]

Who cares what he has to wear. Are gridiron helmets legal in the NRL? hah

 

[Big Pete]

Can Lockyer wear a Dr. Doom mask?

Or the Cody Rhodes facegear?

For additional value he can cut promos on the opposition and bring paperbags out onto the field.

 

[Bucking Beads]

He has a fractured cheekbone

+Respect for the Cody Rhodes reference.

Source, Beads?

 

[Kimlo]

I hope you're wrong.

Can he still play with a fractured cheekbone?

Foxsports said Dan Koch the autobiographer confirmed it is a depressed cheekbone fracture. He will tough it out I can't imagine him missing this game

Need someone to explain the ramifications of a depressed cheekbone fracture!

How many doctors are on bhq? Google it ffs

My stepdad had one, had to have metal plates inserted into his face. Pretty much ended his footy career

If he wasn't retiring, you'd think he'd definitely sit the rest of the season out. But he's only got 2 games left at the most, hopefully he takes a risk and toughs it out. If he doesn't play though, it'll take a lot to forgive Beale for me.

I reckon he will demand to play. So much emotion involved. Doctors will prob warn him of permanent disfigurement. I don't blame him of he doesn't play. Wallace better not get suspended he's on report

 

[user_nat]

Didn't look that bad tonight, but his face will start looking pretty darn terrible tomorrow.

 

[Coxy]

Lol they won't suspend Wallace for Boyd being a cat.

Locky will play unless there's risk of eye damage

 

[subsbligh]

Look whatever happens so be it. This is a big call but tonight was the pinnacle of Locky's career. Going out on a high like that is not the worst thing in the world.

Locky, getting that finish at home, premiership or not, is enough for me. If its the end (and I fear it will be for Locky - his demeanour at the ground told that story) then we've redeemed our 2008 Storm loss horrors, given the legend a fairytale finish and anything from here on in is a bonus.

If he doesn't play, it is probably fateful and our other boys will have to get some good experience in life 2012 +.

We should have won comfortably though
