ADRIAN LAM is eyeing up a top-two Super League finish following Leigh Leopards’ superb recent form.
The Leopards have cast aside Wigan Warriors, Hull KR and St Helens in their past three games and face Warrington Wolves tomorrow (Friday) night at Leigh Sports Village, looking to return to within a point of second-placed Wigan.
With Leigh in such a rich vein of form, having a break isn’t exactly what the Leopards and Lam would have wanted, but he is keen to ensure that complacency doesn’t settle in.
“The concern is we’ve gone into a week off because you want to keep playing when you’re playing good rugby,” Lam said.
“Hopefully we can fall back into the form we were in ten days ago.
“My focus has been on making sure the team is concentrating on what we’ve done well to get to where we are.
“I still think we’ve got one or two gears to go as well, as we’ve been inconsistent this season.
“For much of the year we’ve found a way to win and that’s the sign of a club that has trust within each other.”
Asked if finishing in the top two is still attainable, Lam replied: “Yeah, why not?
“We are one point behind Wigan (after round 19) and there’s eight games to go. If we win all eight and Wigan slip up once then we’re in.
“As a club, we want to keep setting our standards high. We’ve never been in this position before in Super League.”
