Fri August 15, 2008 Source: www.broncos.com.auWOW Brisbane Broncos lock David Stagg will has a special reason to play well tonight after becoming a father for the first time. Stagg's wife Temika gave birth to a baby girl, Paige Olivia, yesterday afternoon. The arrival of the little girl is also good news for the Broncos as Stagg will be free to play against the St George Illawarra Dragons at Suncorp Stadium tonight. He missed last week's match in Auckland as his wife was past her due date, but said this morning he was raring to go for the Dragons. "It will be a bit different playing out there as a dad," said Stagg today. "But I had a good sleep last night and I am going to have a rest this afternoon, so I will be more than ready to play against the Dragons." Stagg's availability is a blessing for the Broncos, with fellow locks Tonie Carroll and Greg Eastwood already out with injury. The match will also be special for the Broncos' club as a whole, with Darren Lockyer to break the all-time first grade game record. Tonight will be Lockyer's 298th match, eclipsing the mark of 297 set by Bronco original Michael Hancock. Hancock, Lockyer, Broncos chief executive Bruno Cullen and coach Wayne Bennett will be involved in a ceremony after the game to recognise the club captain's achievement.
