Lockyer, who had three plates inserted in his fractured eye socket yesterday morning, is rated only a 50-50 chance to take his place by coach Anthony Griffin, although the final decision will be left in the skipper's hands.he believes the fire started after the lift's RUBBER SHEET blew,
Lockyer can at least take comfort in the knowledge that the Broncos will do everything possible to protect their talisman.
Griffin has already spoken to surgeons John Arvier and Peter Meyers, who operated on Lockyer at Brisbane's Wesley Hospital, and been assured there is minimal risk.
"It's just a matter of how quickly the pain and swelling subsides," Griffin said.

The NRL's plans to investigate any extra measures to protect Lockyer came as referees coach Bill Harrigan warned the Brisbane captain he would not be afforded any special treatment and Manly coach Des Hasler described questions over targeting Lockyer as "immoral" and "unethical".
"You want to go out and dance on the dance floor mate, then you dance," Harrigan said.

Former Broncos centre Steve Renouf wore a similar protective helmet for the 1993 finals after he broke his jaw in two places.
"The head gear company I was with just made a hard padded strap that came down over the jaw," Renouf said yesterday.
"It just gave me that little added protection from contact and bit more confidence going into a tackle.
"It worked well and I ended up wearing it for the rest of my career. It might work perfectly for Lockyer when I think about it because I was sure it helped with impact."
While Renouf had a five-week stint on the sidelines before returning, Lockyer is ambitiously aiming to be back on the field within six days.
