This great news for us right? Broncos without Lockyer means a loss,loss and loss! and that there season may come to an end! :)
THE under-pressure Broncos are facing the nightmare scenario of having to get to the NRL finals without Darren Lockyer.
With experts already lining up to say Brisbane can't win another game without their champion skipper, there are growing fears that his rib injury is worse than originally suspected.
Lockyer has made little or no progress since his rib cartilage popped in a tackle by Cowboys lock Luke O'Donnell 10 days ago and it is unlikely the 33-year-old will train at all this week.
Coach Ivan Henjak has confirmed Lockyer will not play against the Knights in Newcastle on Friday and it is looking increasingly like he will only be used before the finals if the club is still fighting to qualify.To add to concerns about Lockyer, Test centre Justin Hodges is also increasingly unlikely to play this year. Hodges, who ruptured his achilles tendon in the pre-season, will not play against Newcastle or the Warriors, leaving the Raiders game in the final round as possibly his last chance.

Broncos were so close to winning that game against us, their young fellas just played a little impatient a few times letting us off the hook. Even with out Lockyer they have the strike power to get to the finals.
