Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2424689, member: 1827"] I thought he went alright but geez you could notice Lockyer not being there last night. We just seemed to lack that really genuine class and poise inside the Kiwis' 20m, that Lockyer used to provide. I know I am not making any bold statements by saying this, but Queensland is going to find things so much tougher this year without Lockyer. I still think we will win but I just don't know about those really tense situations where you need someone to come up with something to get you out of jail. Perfect example is game 1 of last year's series when the Blues hit the front with about 10 minutes left. I was still confident we would win, and the main reason for that confidence is because we had Lockyer on the field. He tells Slater 3 tackles before the last to stay inside him - what amazing vision for forethinking that was. Cronk and Thurston are players that just play what's in front of them, and there's nothing wrong with that, but knowing that from tackle 1, Lockyer is planning a move on tackle 5, gives you so much more confidence that Queensland would come up with the right play (or Australia in this case obviously). Having said that, Queensland 3-0 with 20+ margin in all 3 games :-P [/QUOTE]
