I can understand why he wants to play. All the emotion of his last year, but is it worth the risk of further damage or worse blindness. Personally I think its very dangerous. If he is heart & soul for the Broncos to win he should step down & let someone who is 100% fit play. This game is charged with so much emotion I hope the MANLY boys can just focus on getting the job done so Lyon can lift the trophy on October 2Ceagle said:I have never heard anyone taking the field so shortly after any form of surgery. Doctors would usually ask you to take 2 weeks of work and don't take part in any exercise at all for a couple of weeks.

Like the NRL won't approve anything for Locky though.

I dont think people here underestimate the stupidity of Darren playing just 5 days after an operation. So his team mates are going to protect him are they? what are they going to do hold his hand during the game? There is no advantage here but only a big risk. Will he last the whole game? and if he dosent his team will be a man down. Will he be in two minds when he has the ball and sees Metai and his agro mates charging at him? The Broncos party is over folkes they have given Darren his fairwell in Brisbane now its Manly time to give Darren his fairwell in Sydney.King said:Honestly I think people on here are underestimating the inspiration the Broncos team will draw from having Darren play with the injury. They will be out to protect him and they will all play their hearts out for him. Playing on emotion can lift teams and give them an advantage. This is going to be one tough game and I'm in no doubt Darren will play.

Clearly every Broncos supporter, and a whole bunch of Sea Eagles supporters.
Any other obvious information you need us to clarify?
