Lam linked with Leigh

[Andrewj]

As a Leigh fan I can only see this as a positive appointment for Leigh (even with the Wigan link) .

He has had a dodgy couple of seasons at the Pie Palace but comes with vast experience..hopefully it comes off !!

Good luck to Leigh if they do go down this route. He plays a pretty dull brand. This was Lam as he finished up with Wigan last year.

That's not Wigan, the stands are too full!

He wouldn't have to move house

But they’re standing up ready to leave 

[Just Browny]

Sounds like Lam has found his station in life.

[WN83]

Not sure I've seen a coach as out of his depth as he was with us this season. He hasn't improved a single player in his 3 years with us and the standard of rugby has been simply appalling. 

 

To sum up-I'd probably look elsewhere if I were Leigh. 

[Sports Prophet]

No idea how he jagged a head coach role in the first place.

Simple - his name & rep as a player

But he did take an average team to the top of the league & within a whisker of a Grand Final win the year before.

He did however lose the plot in the second half of last season but what little quality Wigan had he lost a lot of it,I’m not sure many coaches would have had success with Leneghan’s & Radlinski’s inept recruitment/retention policy.

It would be a really strange appointment by Leigh based on his couple of years at Wigan.

We do have a railway station.

Is there a media source to substantiate the Lam link to Leigh

A disastrous appointment for Wigan IMHO but that's now history.

Gaffer is away on Jollys so media are making up storys as we await the squad and coach updates prior to preseason starting next week. We had Wane lined up if we had stayed in SL - a huge contract I understand. These Emirati Princes like throwing cash about.

Marshall in the frame too allegedly

[Father Ted]

Difference between Marshall and Lam is that Richard was very successful at Halifax as Head Coach. He knows the division and what is required. Lam's only stint as club Head Coach was at Wigan where he was an unmitigated disaster.

Between the two of them there's only one sensible appointment to make and it isn't Lam!

Cash is SO sordid and yesterday. Its all electronic these days, but I'd steer away from OneCoin if I were you.

Imagine finishing within an inch of a Grand Final win and fourth place in Super League being an "unmitigated disaster". You lot don't even know you're born.

Whilst true one has to ask if you saw any of Wigan the last six months? If my club appointed the man who oversaw that I'd be appalled.

He got to the play off semis and Wigan had one of the best defensive records in the league. A bit harsh 

[The Blues Ox]

People often seem to forget that Fax did not offer Marshall a new contract despite how "successful" he were.

Yup, I was going to say were Fax/Fax fans not somewhat underwhelmed? I mean not Lam-levels of underwhelmment but still not great.
