But you do know he hasn't played full back in a long long time??

to be fair no, i don't have sky or setanta so i don't watch much NRL just the occasional game here and there
but the guy would be 33 if he came here [size=20033[/size, no no and [size=200no[/size

Im not slagging the guy off though he has been a fantastic player throughout his career

How old is rauhihi? he did alright last year, for a prop.
Likewise langer and johns (albeit in the one game he was fully fit).

Funny

i've nailed my colours to the mast, that's me on the subject. Wire should look elsewhere

You dont have sky, setanta and just watch the occasional game here and there and you dont go the Warrington matches but you are saying Warrington should not be looking at Lockyer. I think some of the posters on here should have random drug tests..

Where on the leeds board?

i don't go to all the warrington matches i go to some yes you're right
i don't watch all NRL matches i watch some- yes
Lockyer has been one of the best players to play the game- yes

sorry i'll leave the forum today because what do i know about rugby, who am i to have an opinion on rugby after all.
a 400 mile round trip every week is not financially viable for me sorry but if you want to pay for me i'll gladly do it unless im working or should i sack work off too

What ambition is signing what is basically a Hollywood signing for a season.
long term it is a lack of ambition. But hey look down on me from the billinge hills, what's it like up there ?

You are entitled to your opinion as is everyone, however i would not have the audacity to put the wigan walk comment down as I would take the opinion of someone who actually goes to the matches over someone who does not. Being a distance away does not preclude anyone from going to the matches. When i was a student 14 years ago I used to commute from Newcastle so that does not hold water in my opinion. Slightly cloudy now over Billinge..

Good enough for Australia & for origin but not for Warrington.

Fucking unbeleivable this board recently.

When i lived in Warrington i went to every game
Now i live in London and i work weekends it's not easy.
So when you were a student did you go to a unique learning establishment that had lessons at the weekend.
But i fail to see how number of matches attended equates to knowledge of the game?

Trent Barrett anyone ?

No thought not

Why would it be a good signing for Warrington? How does that help long term?

This is a void point anyway he's not coming to SL.

Imagine the culture Smith [iand[/i Lockyer could instill into the club, though?

A quick flick through Joey Johns' Autobiography t'other day made me realise how one man's presence in the changing rooms change a club's attitude towards the game, especially if that one man is the world's best player.
He stated that one of the younger players called before the Leeds game "let's give it a good go", to which Johns replied "Nah, Let's F'n Smoke 'Em"

Personally, I'd love that sort of attitude for a couple of years, with every player who comes into the changing rooms during that time directed towards Lockyer, his professionalism and his attitude.

Even if Myler was to play one year with Lockyer it would give so much influence to every single player.

However, there is no chance Lockyer would come over for a year.
If he did, we would sell out of t shirts, jerseys, caps... etc

this is ridiculous,the truth is gordy tallis is coming out of retirement to sign a 5 year contract with us worth in the region of 3 million pounds sterling a year,his shirt sponsor will be raddon court.

You should know what's ridiculous Tache

yes i do,pity some people don't isn't it doctor.

In the I was sunning my self on the beach thread

Which bit of lockyer signing a new deal at the broncos this year don't you get?? He's just signed his last big nrl contract with his home town club who he has played for his whole pro life!! What on gods earth makes any of you think he's gonna do a massive U-turn and sign for wire??

Great player but it would be a short term fix (as usual) we need to be building for the future now not gettin over seas near end of career money grabbers myler or ratchford for me

Has he signed a three year extension?

I don't remember seeing this anywhere, but I do remember seeing a list of NRL out of contract players earlier this month and I'm pretty sure Darren Lockyer was still on it.

Well that list is wrong and it was agreed with the broncs a while back!! It was around the time Wigan were after him earlier this season. It was in the Aussie press, not a big fuss made as nobody expected him to do any different.

I have just found the artical and it says he's agreed a new deal. It didn't say he had signed a new deal? So he could well be available

anyway my bad
