Lockyer has had the most clutch moments in a career I can remember seeing and that includes Johns, Thurston, Smith. There were so many games that hung in the balance for the Broncos, Queensland or Australia and it was always Lockyer who made the clutch play.
He is my all time favourite player too. I remember seeing him as a bronco in a regular season game at Suncorp Stadium, he kicked a game winning field goal from about 40m out and the ball hit the post and went through, the ball was still on the way up when it hit the post.
Nobody even comes close to Lockyer in clutch plays. They didn't even mention his plays to beat Gold Coast twice in Golden Point or his GP field goal in his final ever game with a fractured eye socket.
Locky is the GOAT of Clutch Plays!! Best example outside of ORIGIN….a when they beat the EELS in 2008 @ Suncorp…..watch it and see what I mean!!….I was there at the game and went nuts that night
We are forgetting the pioneer Allan Langer in kicking. He started the Kicking for the winger. The First time we saw and they/we/everyone thought Willie Carne was offsite. How do we forget that. Allan Langer GoAT. This happened in State of Origin.
Paey Dean what? Langer was a brilliant last tackle grubber into the in goal specialist. He couldnt kick for distance at all, 40/20 wouldnt be in his bag. The crossfield kick has been done since forever. Ricky could bang a 30/10 kick such was the length of his boot, he also pioneered the spiral bomb and the kick back across the ruck.
@@docgonzales I suggest you watch the 98 grand final and the game 1 98. Langer puts in at least 1 kick in each game that goes 45m-50m and results in a goal line drop out. While yes early in his career his long kicking game wasn’t of the quality you get from johns or Lockyer or Lewis or Stuart. However to pretend he couldn’t kick long distance is to ignore the fact he worked damn hard on his game and certainly grew his long kicking game. Also the cross field kick was also a langer weapon brought to the game. Mostly through the changing of the game. Halfbacks didn’t do cross kicks in the 80s because you could tackle the fullback in the air and their was no catch in ingoals 20m restart. So halfbacks just simply bombed the ball as ugh as possible and set upon the fullback. But with the changing of the rules langer was most certainly 1 of if not the first to implement the cross kick to the winger big wingers like carne or sailor.
For the last 2 names there, i can think Cameron smith can replace one of them, his ability of knowing what needs to be done at a moment is unparalleled, his footy iq is why i think he is the most clutch, Melbourne probably was the most successful NRL team in the last 10 years its because Cameron can show them the way
@@jest3167 That 2018 Roosters team was stacked. Storm didn't stand a chance against Manu and Latrell in the centres. Croft and Munster were never going to touch Keary and Cronk.
I remember Lockyer was criticised for his defence after making the transition from fullback to five eight. To help with his defence, Tony Carrol was placed on his side to help his defence and also he tried to improve his defence and increased line speed to meet the defence early. Thats the reason he was able to get the loose pass from Hodgson and score the winning try in 2006.
NSW was going for 4th series win on 2006, in that 3rd game NSW was given a try when it was a clear knock on. Before that game (3rd game of SOO in 06) former QLD players were wanting his head if he lost that series. But Locky has never given up in big games, he always plays till the final whistle and takes calculated risks, and he did it in all levels of our great game. Even with a broken cheekbone he kicks the field goal to beat the Dragons in one of the finals games in 2011.....ok he's my favourite player lol
Good one Blocker. "Denan Kemp's not the fastest bloke on the field". Kemp was bashful when asked his fastest time for 100m, saying it opened him up for examination, but said he was clocked at 10.7 seconds when just 15.
Goal Kickers; Halligan, El Masri, Cameron Smith, Thurston for sure the best... Players; Thurston, Lockyer, Johns, Wally Lewis, Langer, Daly... Like how they talk about the players in depth but a Top Ten Clutch plays ever OR Top 3 Clutch plays from each player would be great to add in at the end of the discussion.
The amount of 20point+ comebacks he led was crazy. He was like a jack Russel always looking for the strip and had that “it’s never over until I say it’s over” attitude that Lockyer also had.
Since Lockyer's image was tarnished by the recent Broncos boardroom debacle, do you guys realise this video is just a PR stunt by Broncos/Fox owners Newscorp? Although I do think Lockyer is one of the GOATs, you've gotta see this for what it is.

Nah.. Matt Bowen has the most! Scored many tries and field goals in the last minute to win games! th-cam.com/video/ZyY_ggsnNOY/w-d-xo.html
So true! Lockyer is a legend and my favourite of all time. Always such a clean player too

more underrated then his nrl career
Lockyer, man of few words, man of action..brilliant career

Why do we not see little grubber kicks that Alfie did so well in his day.Worked for him everytime
Locky is one of the greatest
9:05 What is blocker smoking, denan kemp was lightning quick
He needs to put some respek on the beaks name
Yeah he was a flyer
for sure for the time he played he was up there for the fastest, blocker legit knows nothing unless it was the era he played or they were his teamates
How dare he disrespect the beak haha
Johns, Lockyer, Thurston. Top 3 most clutch players in my opinion.
For the last 2 names there, i can think Cameron smith can replace one of them, his ability of knowing what needs to be done at a moment is unparalleled, his footy iq is why i think he is the most clutch, Melbourne probably was the most successful NRL team in the last 10 years its because Cameron can show them the way
Cronk, played a gf with one arm and won it worth out can smith and billy
@@eek8605 Lockyer and Thurston were greater in the clutch than Johns. If smith was to replace any of them it should be him
@@nickmilan2739 You say Cronk done it without Smith and Billy like he didn't have a stacked team that would rival majority of the test sides........
@@jest3167 That 2018 Roosters team was stacked. Storm didn't stand a chance against Manu and Latrell in the centres. Croft and Munster were never going to touch Keary and Cronk.
That 2003 series, Locky was still playing fullback…helped him win the Golden Boot
Locky best clutch player ever

Lockyer was still at Fullback in that series Paul Kent.
Locky kicked the ball down to Grothe, he was tackled Hodgson picks it up and the rest is History.
Matt Bowen was the best!.. won so many games in the final minute with tries instead of kicks and try assists!
Bowen came through a bad era. Would've had many more Qld and Australian games in any other era
Imagine if Mango didn't have all those injuries, could've been better than Slater
Legend
Lockyer clutch king. GOAT
Greatest moment on this video. Kenty saying. I'll tell you something about goal kicking. I fucking spit my tea out. 🤣🤣
Good one Blocker. "Denan Kemp's not the fastest bloke on the field".
Kemp was bashful when asked his fastest time for 100m, saying it opened him up for examination, but said he was clocked at 10.7 seconds when just 15.
Lockyer as a pom was the best we played against he was the goat
DL most clutch of all time!
Michael O’Conner was underrated clutch player for the Blues and Manly.
Paul Kent is a dropkick.
Lockyer 🐐 status
lockyer against the poms in 2003 all time clutch player
Kent is just a numbers and word of mouth guy, love seeing him shut up and listen to first person stories.
El Masri was clutch!!!
Steve renouf..now there's one we've forgotten..
Denan Kemp would of been the fastest guy playing in that game, come on now roach
Hazem el Masri Round 20, 2002 vs Knights
Shaun Johnson in his prime was the king of clutch plays.
Ahh no.
Yeah nah
whatta joker
Lay off the crack
Jason Smith in his last year's at the cowboys was as good as anyone before him
The best bit was him smoking 40 darts a day lol

Add Johns to the list of goal kickers too. Johns is a more clutch goal kicker than smith
Paul Kent, would you like everyone to wait until you’ve finished texting? Sorry that Matty interrupted you. Bozo!
It’s a podcast bro chill out 😂
Bears Broncos was not a Friday night, it was Sunday afternoon
Darren Lockyer is the goat for a reason
How Lockyer is not a immortal it’s ridiculous. if he is not the next immortal then that’s rigged.
Brett Kenny
Terry lamb
Wally Lewis
Cliff Lyons
Shaun Johnson for me
Now days it would be Cleary
Benji marshall🐐
1996 and 6 strokes
Thurston= clutch gene
The amount of 20point+ comebacks he led was crazy. He was like a jack Russel always looking for the strip and had that “it’s never over until I say it’s over” attitude that Lockyer also had.

100%, lockey was good, but i feel like there is an agenda here...
There is more than 1 board member to make the decisions
Darius Boyd is a clutch player hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Clutch finisher maybe. In his prime nobody was better than Darius.
Hey Matty can you stop wearing Coopers shirt 🤒
