Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3213731, member: 9052"] It's just another example of the NSWRL media trying to diminish his legacy. As you mentioned Lockyer came in as a 5/8 but was able to play fullback. That is now a viable option that every team looks to do. Barba, Milford, Moylan (maybe?), Albert Kelly, Presto, Cody Walker, Corey Norman and many more came through as halves, but Lockyer completely reinvented the position to basically be the modern 5/8 and every team looks at that as a viable option whenever a 6 (usually undersized) that can run a bit comes through the juniors. Hell they even look to grab fullbacks that can ball play and try to turn them into halves, because Lockyer did it. Darius, Khunt (was ear marked for it), Inglis, Hayne, Hoffman (lol @ Griffin). Ok last one was a joke, but every commentator queries whether a current fullback will transition to 6 as they get older and running becomes harder Basically Lockyer has everyone looking at the two positions as interchangeable. If that's not changing the position... let alone the game then I dont know what the **** is [/QUOTE]
