Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3213688, member: 1847"] If I were a Storm supporter I'd pick Smith. If a Cowboys supporter I'd go for JT. As a Broncos supported, it has to be Locky. Objectively, if that's at all possible, I'd still go for Lockyer. Of those 3, their ability to lead their teams, and keep it together in adversity is what stands out, however with Lockyer, what makes him my number 1 is his ability to pick the right moment for the right play with vision and execution under immense pressure. What comes to mind as the perfect example of Lockyer's greatness was that kick for Kemp in the last minute v Eels in, I think 2008. That was a staggering achievement which sets Lockyer apart from the rest. Here is what Kemp had to say: “People might assume that there is this momentous feeling of playing with Locky, but it is actually the opposite,” Kemp explained. “It is the lack of thinking about who you are playing with that Lockyer brought. What I mean by that is when he was on the field you didn’t have to worry about anything. “You weren’t thinking about who your half or forwards were because when Lockyer is on the field he has got us. He’s our leader. “Everything was sweet. If we lost that week we would win next week. It’s all good. That is the confidence that he instilled. The structure and his constant ability to get us out of trouble and keep us all on the same page. “When he talked everyone would listen, but he led more with his actions.” [URL]https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/exbronco-denan-kemp-on-the-true-genius-of-darren-lockyer-and-injury-secret-behind-that-miracle-try/news-story/35c3c514e04a1fedb54bfe82fbf6207f[/URL] [/QUOTE]
