An absolute champion of the game, will be so sad to see him go but I think it's the right choice.

17 years of first grade and likely to finish with most FG games ever, most games for Australia and highest capped QLD player ever as well.

The Broncos won't be the same without the great man leading us.

One of the best and finest players, I hope he finishes his season injury free..

But, about time TBH.

Will be a legend of the game, in all forms. Absolute champion player and such a great career to look back on.

I just hope what ever happens he stays involved in the game and particularly with the Broncos.

he is a champion. Good luck with whatever he does in the future. Maybe a career in voice overs?

Immortal in my opinion, one of the greats of the game

was no 1 player in the world in 2 totally different positions, fullback and 5/8
dont know many players who can lay claims to that

He will probably land a job with fox sports, similar to Noddy and Anasta, footy talk shows and that stuff.

Lockyer has the voice of an 87 year old that has smoked two packs of ciggies a day since they were 12.

I can't wait to hear him commentating! If Tommy can get a gig as commentator, then Lockyer will be sweet as.

"St George, they won 11 premierships with one Raper. Imagine how many Canterbury will win."

Remember his debut for Australia, dropped the ball like 5 times from kicks and pretty much gave NZ the game on a platter.

Always disliked him cos he ousted players I liked from their positions in rep teams, i.e took the number 6 jumper from Barrett for the Australian side when he made the switch from fullback to five eighth.

Should have retired from Rep football this year IMO and let others have a turn too.

With all that being said and done, there is no doubts he is one of the greats of our game and will be an immortal.
