If the above is true, my day has been made.

 

[howardj]

could your spies possibly be the newspapers??

Brisbane have been saying for a couple of days that its worrying, his career is in doubt for sure.

I can't disclose my spies. lol

AWTA

Hopefully this means Prince at 7, Thurston at 6 for State of Origin *drools*

if Lockyer is out for the test match at least then Cam Smith better get the captaincy, if the NSW lot get their way and Gasnier is appointed then it will be a joke.

 

[howardj]

My spies now tell me that Lockyer is in the clear, and won't need further surgery. In fact, the news I'm getting tells me that he could well be back for the match against the Titans on April 18.

Lost a bit of respect for some of the Titans this week tbh. The way they're carrying on about Weyman. Not that you want too many mums to see it, but his punch was hardly a "king hit", as it' being described in some quarters. How, when you're standing toe-to-toe, is a run of the mill, factory standard haymaker, a king hit? I worry about his weight, with this long lay off coming up tbh. lol

 

[Simon]

Never had any respect for the Titans to begin with, they are a protected species by the NRL. Gallop and co. are so determined to win the area from AFL and Union they basically let GC do whatever they please.
