2016

At Manly, Green played the first two games of the 2016 NRL season. He would spend the next three months in the reserves before some good performances in the second row saw him earn a recall for Manly's round 16 match against the reigning premiers North Queensland. Green played well in a hard fought 30–26 loss in Townsville and retained his spot in the Manly back row for their round 17 match against St. George Illawarra at Brookvale Oval. Green scored his first try for Manly (and the opening try of the game) as the Sea Eagles snapped a 7 game losing streak with a comprehensive 36–6 win.[11]

Green was released by Manly at the conclusion of the 2016 NRL season.[12]
