Green won the Harry Sunderland Trophy as man-of-the-match playing for Wigan in the 2013 Super League Grand Final.

Sea Eagles Coach Trent Barrett said the signing of Green was an important one for the Club following the retirement of Jamie Lyon.

“Blake gives us what we need. He will be a really good foil for Daly Cherry-Evans. He will take a lot of pressure off Daly, especially with his kicking game on the left edge,’’ Barrett said.

“He has been in a good system at Melbourne under Craig Bellamy. Blake is a really great signing for us.”

"I have us playing finals football.

Blake is a nuffie regardless who coaches him! Cameron smith and cooper Cronk made him look good!!!

I agree, he will be significantly better then Walker in the halves. If Brett Stewart and Matai make successful returns from injury next year with the new signings (and rumoured signings) they will be a lot better squad.
