Cronk, Tetavano out. Lamb starting halfback.

Interesting if there has been a Lamb & a Butcher in the same side???

Hahaha very good!

[Thirteen]

What injury does he have? An actual injury or just niggling stuff that players carry all season and a smart coach will find the best possible time to rest them without disrupting the whole team at once??

I have no idea what injury but as we know from the past, Robbo is not into sharing his players injuries publicly.

Difference being Pearce had his chance last year and was far from dominant against the Roosters..

Brock will get his first crack tonight and I think he will flourish.

Me too. I think he is potentially an excellent player and a very good goal kicking option too. With Lats playing origin and probably Keary too, Lamb will come into the side as number 6 and goal kicker.

[Thirteen]

Personally I hope Lamb Chops them up, but if Lamb Shanks one, people will probably want to Roast Lamb.

It’s The Pen, some on here will want him killed if he doesn’t set up at least 5 tries. There will no doubt be a thread after the game titled “Brock Lamb”.

You are trying to hard JFC!

Pearce may do the same to the club that undermined him too.

We wish him well...although not tonight.

Though hard to think of a bloke who the club did not cover up for more, showed umpteen patience with and who did not do more to undermine himself. That last one is coming from Pearce's mouth too.

Ask Dale Copley and Jayden Nikorima how hard done by Pearce was.

Sweet Jesus.

[The Marshall]

The club have said it’s for personal reasons and thankfully not an injury

Thanks I was actually wondering if anyone you what’s behind the personal reasons, sometimes that stuff can be worse on the player.

[Vasco]

Brock has been killing it for the Bears,he deserves his chance..

A small look into next years halves perhaps..

I think we've had a good enough look.

Next...

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Resting Cronk has clearly backfired

[Lydon]

I think we've had a good enough look.

Next...

Fair enough mate but based on tonight’s performance I wouldn’t give anyone bar Teddy a second look.

Pretty much bang on there. Lamb did look very lost out there. Was not up for the spectacle, although our forwards were completely dominated.
