Hmm. Jai Field averaged fewer than 4 games per season in his four years in the NRL. Bevan French couldn't get in the Parramatta squad and played for Wentworthville Magpies the year before he came to W

Hopefully both true just what Saints need. If Hurrell retires also as rumoured another chance to add a bit of pace to the backline.

Sailor was coming to Leigh until Reece Walsh got injured all sorted then Brisbane decided that they wouldn't let him leave, needed him as cover.

Leigh's definite loss, Saints gain.

True, however all things happen for a reason and it allowed us to sign Armstrong instead

I don’t know enough about either Armstrong or Sailor to say who’s got the better signing. I think they will both go well though as both are the type to do well in SL good players with something to prove.

For what Leigh specifically need(pace to finish and defend linebreaks, height for a kicking target), I think Armstrong is more suited. Sailor is probably more suited to what Saints need(pace and creativity to add more variety to their attack), so I think both clubs will believe they've got the right man.

Lee Briers is by far the more important capture.

Personally, I would rate Armstrong the better player.  Neither has managed to crack a regular NRL spot but for me Armstrong looks the better player - Sailor has too many errors in him.

Yep. He’ll be massive for our attack in particular - with the right players!

And probably to take over from Wellens particularly if they don’t win the GF this season & start next season poorly

I'm not sure there's anything new in that article though? Yes, he probably will end up there, given the offer on the table, but journos in various publications are rinsing the story for as many articles as they can muster.

Have you any idea what the offer is, more or less than Asiata's £660,000 over 3 years?

I think the general consensus is that it is more than Asiata's contract.

That being so puts his Mr Lam in a quite difficult position, as his club's coach he should want to keep him and get the club to legally challenge the contract that is claimed to allow him to go to other SL clubs if they are confident it to be in their favour or get a recompense in the manner of a transfer fee for him.

As his dad he should want what his best for his sons financial future if Leigh  either can't or choose not to match the offer.

But can't blame Lam junior if he thinks that he could not attract a better NRL contract over three years - if that is the offered contract duration - for taking it if offered.

Initially I thought if he wants out of Leigh let him go now, but giving it some thought, I doubt the dressing room will feel bad towards him if he can get that kind of money and security.

I think Lam Snr is 'officially' staying out of it, and leaving it to Chester. Though he will no doubt be giving his son some advice. Whether that's listened to or not is another matter.

Not sure how such a dispute can arise. It's either down in writing that he can only talk to NRL clubs for next year, or it isn't. If they've put a clause in with a verbal agreement that he will only talk to NRL clubs, then that is incredibly naive.

Maybe the naivity comes with misguided trust, "he is the coaches son, he won't go to any other club in this country" as long as his dad is here!

That would be an odd approach for the club to take though, as when Lachlan signed that contract, Adrian was only contracted to the end of this year anyway.

I personally think that something should be said in relation to this saga.

Its now beginning to grow a head of its own..Someone from the club needs to disclose the position  they are at.

Once this has been done then rumours and conjecture will really slow down.

The Asiata saga was a little regrettable and it flat footed leigh.Lets not make the same mistake with Lachkam Lam.

 

 

If the lad is unhappy and wants a piece of the action same as Asiata then let him go. However if his contract says he can only go to an NRL team then also fine  ,but just put this matter to bed.

We are being plundered like a Spanish Galleon off the coast of Tortuga. I say let's go looking at players from clubs we can plunder..

 

Everyone has a price.Everyone ...

 

Come on Derek this is your domain splash the cash and demonstrate what top super league clubs do..
