Lamb feels
left out of Locky's 350th
Rugby league great Terry Lamb is disappointed
the NRL is not flying him to Townsville to personally congratulate Darren
Lockyer on breaking his record for most first grade games.

joined Canterbury icon Lamb and Manly legend Steve Menzies last weekend on a
record 349 games and the Test captain will go past that mark in Brisbane's

The NRL has organised several events to pay tribute to Lockyer, but Lamb
says he would like to have been personally involved.
"The NRL hasn't
done anything for me to go up there ... maybe they just want to do it
themselves," he said.
"I would have loved to have gone up and
congratulated Darren after the game or before the game.
"I broke Geoff
Gerard's record of 303 games.
"(Former Bulldogs boss) Peter Moore got
Geoff Gerard here to congratulate me before the game and we got photos together.
"That was our club that did that. I think that was a great idea.
"I'm not dirty, I'm just a bit disappointed.
"This is a huge
record and no one's going to surpass it I don't think and I just think something
special should have been done, maybe flew Menzies over or flew me up there."
Lamb said he had sent an email to congratulate Lockyer and he believed
Menzies had done the same.
NRL boss David Gallop will be in Townsville
to present Lockyer with the game ball, while the league has also organised a
video tribute.
The Broncos and Queensland skipper,adidas adicolor series shoes who Lamb
believes should become a league Immortal, will also be inducted into the game's
300 Club at the Men of League Gala Dinner in September and honoured among other
retiring players in grand final week.
Debate on the game's next
Immortal, a tag bestowed by respected league magazine Rugby League Week, has
centred on Lockyer and New South Wales great Andrew Johns.
Lamb, also a
half in his playing days, said he did not like to compare great players.
"They're completely different," he said.
"Joey (Johns)
controlled the game by himself virtually.fendi

"Darren controls his players.
"Joey
could run through a hole,wireless
cameras set someone up, brilliant kicking, where Darren would probably
organise his players more than the ball."
