Christian Petracca

What Tim Lamb has said:

"As we've said sort of all along, we love Trac," Lamb said.

"He expressed a desire to potentially move somewhere else. We've said we'll look at something as long as it's in the best interest of the club. So that that's sort of our position."

What the Media is saying:

Clayton Oliver

What Tim Lamb has said:

"We met with Clayton and spoke about the future and how that looked. How the coach wanted the midfield to play and where Clayton fit in with all of that," Lamb said.

"Out of that has come that he has wanted to explore some options but it wasn't a direction from us for him to do that."

What the Media is saying:

Bayley Humphrey

What Tim Lamb has said:

"I think in these situations, you need to be really respectful in that Gold Coast havve made their position clear publicly on a number of occasions that Bailey’s contracted and not on the trade table," Lamb said.

"So yeah, you've got to respect that."
