Is Lachlan Lam up to it?

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Way too early to criticise him.

Agree completely Thirteen. Patience.

I think he will be right.

[The Brain]

Im ok with Lammy learning but yeah I would send him back to Norths for a few lessons.

[Rooster_6]

I think he's still a bit clunky and still getting to know the players around him. There was one run where he ran into the wrong space and afterwards sort of looked at Cronk as if to say 'sorry mate'. His work rate is fine and I'm sure he will get better as the year goes on

Clunky is fine though, like you say he's still learning new combos and we've got to remember he was out for most of the pre-season.

I've said it a lot now but sometimes I think his workrate hurts him, he's got some real quality in his play, he doesn't need to be making 35 tackles a game.

[Roosterfarian]

I thought he had a great game! Did what was expected of his run-on debut which was not to overplay his hand.

[Mickie Lane]

Only on the Chookpen.
Way to early to call.

Players will learn even when they've played 200+ games. Friend had Manu running in to a massive gap yet passed to Ikuvalu. Friend knew it too - he'll learn.

It would be nice if he looked over at the opposite edge and saw some of the tough carries his skipper was taking

[ROC181]

Lams mistake was hogging that ball going for glory for a try but apart from that he was ok for his first game. He will be back for the SOO period and he will learn from this.

well it was bad choice he backed him self to out speed the fastes bloke on the field.

[The Axe]

Didn’t play well today but now has a match on the big stage in front of 38k fans under his belt

great to have if Cronk or keary goes down pre semis. Clever move Robbo

[Lydon]

I wouldn’t be criticising the kid after an off game today,he will learn from it and become a better player for it..

In saying that when Cronk calls it quits I would prefer Brock Lamb partnering Keary in the halves as opposed to Lammy!

I think Brock has the higher upside and could turn into a special 6 or 7 under Trent!

[Cockadoodledoo]

Time will tell but let’s cut the crap, he was little more than a passenger today. Our club is quite ruthless and they won’t wait all season for him to produce in First Grade before considering other options for next year.

[roosters75]

My opinion playing five eight is such a crucial position. He is only a kid and was involved in one of the hardest games of the year. Has a lot to learn but has potential, needs minutes to mature.

[Bansai Pipeline]

Back to Norths mate.

[Kelby]

Well done Lammy today. You will only get better.
Remember Matt Ikuvalu's first game this year? We all had him cut from the squad!

I'll back you.
