Dragons have been ruthless and knocked off two premiership rivals with efficiency, while Melbourne have ranged between decent and dire thus far despite being 3 from 3.
I still believe that Dragons are the best team in the comp, we all know you don't win premierships in April, Storm did yesterday and they did play better than St George but I think that the Dragons team has premiership written all over them but they do need to play better than they did against Storm.
Only problem with your argument is that currently Lockyer's form hardly warrants selection. I think he'll retire and its a good decision, what can he possibly have to gain or achieve by playing on.
No half would look good playing in the Broncos side right now. Put him behind a decent forward pack and next to Thurston and Inglis, and see how he goes. It would be different if his presence at the Broncos was going to mean the difference between them bombing out, and making the top four. However, as it is, they're going to miss the finals whether he is there during Origin or not. Therefore, there is no upside in him pulling out of Origin.
I thought he was among the Broncos best last night, although admittedly I was only half watching the game. Put some good kicks in, definitely looked better than Wallace for mine. As HJ said it's hard to look good in the Broncos team atm.
