The Brisbane Broncos skipper Darren Lockyer has been ruled out of Friday night's National Rugby League match against the Warriors in Auckland, a vital game for both sides in the race to make the playoffs.
Lockyer is training with the team this week, but he's not expected to make the trip to Auckland because of a rib cartilege injury.
The Broncos arrive in Auckland on Wednesday and they'll have their final training session at Auckland Grammar school on Thursday.
