Manly See Red Over Blake Green

[Kevinward777]

Just that if Pearce goes to Newcastle, Lamb will ask for a release and we would chase. So add that to the Lurkers saying we have/had interest in Moylan/Maloney/Pearce/Elgey/Keary/anyone who's played a game of NRL in the halves

The goose has zero credibility, he’s rugby leagues very own version of the Womens Weekly magazine. Just made up gossip.

I'd rather green then lamb he's nothing special though he had a few goodgames maybe he could come good with better players around him. I'd rather dog boy but I see the upside in lamb he would be cheap and if he kicks goals he's already a good acquisition lol otherwise it will be dce as Wright won't make the top 17 and if he does for shame

No way, Brock Lamb is a kid who has had a season playing in a very average side. He did some exceptional things this year. Has it all, plays at the line, great passing and kicking game, and most of all he has demonstrated he not only belongs in first grade, but can excel. Did he make some rookie mistakes? Sure, however, place him in a quality side, alongside DCE and the sky is the limit. Put it this way, he has done much more in his short career than Hastings. And unlike Metcalf, we know he’s plenty good enough playing against men. I’d be over the moon if we landed him.

I'm not about to get excited about Brock Lamb.

Manly need a player like Pearce with a cool head and experience to be a chance next year. Not a young and inexperienced player that DCE has to mentor.

Did he make some rookie mistakes? Sure

You must have seen more of him than I, all I saw was mistakes!

Personally I think it’s good to let halves cut their teeth in crap teams where you’re not getting a lot of time and have limited options in attack. If you can show something there, stick them behind a pack that can go forward with some sexy backs outside and they can be anything...

Yeah he did make a few, most of them looked a result of him trying too hard. But he also pulled off enough special plays that confirmed he’s got bucket loads of talent.

Just like Craig Field...

Only one back here, with a couple of forwards, sexy enough for you??

Ew not Brock Lamb

Ew not Brock Lamb

Whats wrong with Lamb? Great season in a horrible team, had a big shocking play early in the season that most would never return from that early on but had great form ever since and kicks goals! Great young player and Id be happy with him but i think we can do better.

 

[Dan]

Brock Lamb can play, we would have a very very strong pair of kicking halves which is a massive benefit in the modern game, problem is Lamb is a real short ball player, that could make us pretty predictable close to the line

I totally agree that we need experience if we are going to be serious title contenders. If we are going to go for young and inexperienced for DCE to mentor then we should be looking within. Then use any free coin to firm up the forwards.

Ffs .. If we dont get pearce just bloody sign todd carney for $150k .. Goal kicking problem solved x factor in attack , let green go & youv saved $200k.. If they let lodge back in .. Make carney a priority before someone else gets him for peanuts..

Don't you mean pee nuts?

I disagree, thought he was average. Also wouldn't bank on him for conversions, remember that goal attempt against the dogs in golden point or something this season, sheesh

I think injuries have sent his ability and form backwards.

10 in and 30 out under all the pressure in the world and his confidence was shaken from the previous play. Plus lamb is 5 out of 5 compared to our options we currently have like Hastings ect.

Can anyone confirm if Green has been seen at training ?

Great question. I haven’t seen him in any photos thus far. DCE is back so I would imagine Green would also be required back now.

I think most of us agree there,we are saying Lamb if Pearce goes to Knights,I doubt Lamb would be released if Knights don't get Pearce....and if we miss on Pearce I doubt we will be releasing Green.
