Career

Early Years

As a child, Lockyer played Australian rules football in Brisbane before his parents moved west to Roma, Queensland,[5] a rugby league town that had no local Aussie Rules clubs. Having started his football career in Roma, playing for the Cities Gladiators, Lockyer made his first grade debut with the Broncos as an eighteen year-old five-eighth in 1995, winning the club's rookie of the year award. Lockyer quickly showed his versatility in the centres and at fullback, proving himself as a creative attacking player, a safe defender under the high ball and a skilled goal-kicker.

Fullback

Lockyer was moved permanently to fullback midway through the 1996 season. In 1997, he first gained representative honours for Queensland at fullback in their second Super League Tri-series match against New South Wales. The following year he became the regular Queensland Maroons' fullback for the State of Origin. He also played at fullback in the Broncos' premiership-winning teams of 1997, 1998 and 2000.

Lockyer's try-scoring and goal-kicking ability made him the top point-scorer for the club in 1997 and again in 1998 when he broke the Broncos' club record for most points in a season. In 2000, he was awarded the Clive Churchill Medal for best and fairest player on the field in the Broncos' Grand Final win. Also that year he received the Australian Sports Medal for his contribution to Australia's international standing in the sport of rugby league.[6] The Clive Churchill Medal has been presented to the man-of-the-match of the Australian first grade rugby league Grand Final ever since 1986. ...

He also won his first RLIF Golden Boot Award for the world's best international rugby league player in 2003.

Five-eighth

In 2004, Broncos' coach Wayne Bennett moved Lockyer from fullback to five-eighth. This move saw mixed results for Lockyer. Initially, the move was generally supported, due to Lockyer's standing as a playmaker. However, as the season progressed, criticism developed that the defensive workload required at five-eighth was too large for him and that he should move back to his old position of fullback. In spite of this, Lockyer was adamant that his fullback days were behind him.[citation needed] Wayne James Bennett AM (born 1 January, 1950) is an Australian rugby league football identity. ...


Experienced rugby league commentators continued questioning Lockyer's abilities as a five-eighth during representative matches. After a poor start to the 2006 season following a 36-4 loss to the North Queensland Cowboys at Suncorp Stadium in Round 1, several critics argued that he should either switch to fullback or lose his spot on both the Australian and Queensland squad. There were also rumours that Johnathan Thurston would be chosen as the Queensland five-eighth, with Scott Prince at halfback. This article is about the 2006 season of the Brisbane Broncos. ...

A typical rugby league team consists of thirteen players on the field plus four substitutes on the bench. ...


However, after the ANZAC Test, in which Lockyer scored two tries in Australia's 50-12 defeat of New Zealand, the critics eased off. Lockyer's performances in the five-eighth position improved greatly in the weeks leading up to Origin, resulting in his selection as five-eighth and Captain for Origin 1. The ANZAC Test is a rugby league match played annually around ANZAC Day between Australia and New Zealand. ...


Lockyer underwent further criticism when the Maroons lost to the Blues 17-16 after a poor first half. His position was again debated, but strong performances against the Bulldogs and the Warriors resulted in his retention in the Queensland side. Queensland then made an impressive comeback in Origin 2, thumping the Blues 30-6 while Lockyer received the Man of the Match award. He was then responsible for sealing the series victory for Queensland in the deciding match. With Queensland down 14-10 with 5 minutes remaining, Lockyer intercepted a pass from NSW player Brett Hodgson and scored the match-winning try. It was Queensland's first outright series victory since 2001 and also stopped New South Wales' from achieving their 4th consecutive Origin series win. After the match, Lockyer received the Wally Lewis Medal for player of the series. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Immediately after Queensland's State of Origin success, the Broncos entered a 5-game losing streak, but bounced back to comfortably win their final three premiership games of the season. Despite losing to the St George Illawarra Dragons in the first week of the finals, the Broncos rebounded to defeat the Newcastle Knights 50-6. They then won the preliminary final against the Bulldogs 37-20 after trailing 20-6 at half-time, with Lockyer named man of the match.[8] He then steered his team to win the 2006 Grand Final 15-8, setting up both tries and then kicking a winning field goal in the 73rd minute.[9] This was Lockyer's fourth premiership (first as captain), and the Broncos' sixth.
