As the local newspaper reports , Lamb said he has played football and nothing else , never had a real job and so he says he wants to experience a normal sort of life without the strict regime of NRL training and commitments . He has been offfered an electician apprenticeship .

Brock Lamb has turned his back on a contract with the Parramatta Eeels to return home to the Maitland Pickers and playing with his mates.
Pops, I tend to agree, if he can get a job as an apprentice electrician, would set him up better for the future. Certainly moving back to his home ground of Maitland provides him with reconnection with family, and he can still play RL with prospects of once he gets the trade side of his life in order he could still play NRL if he was interested in chasing a club.

Cap, would you pay $6m for him for 5 years ON the cap?
Souths passed. So did we. A stuff up…"
"Where's the $1.2m figure come from HOE?
ABC, Fox, SMH, Nine, Sporting News all report $5m over 5 years.
I know it's all hearsay anyway, but all the reporting I saw indicated the sticking point was the extra year only. I didn't see anyone reporting…"
"Why does everything have to come down to a counter offer from the eels ffs. There were rumours that the brown management couldn't believe the clauses that the eels management had agreed to.
Take Sam Tuivaiti for example, we offer him a 500 k…"

Only a mediocre back up, who cares.
