Has there been any further news on Lochlan Lam?

I could well imagine we'll line up something like:

1 Hardaker
6 Williams
7 Lam

9/Interchange Tommy/Powell.


I’d take that all day mate! Listening to all the interviews last week, Adrian Lam made comments about bringing in players who will fit into his style of play, Lachlan being one of them. I just hope we have the cap space to do it.

I honestly think we could end up with that. I agree with your comment re a 7, neither Powell or Tommy are the solution, we need a signing.

I like the way Leuluai has gon about his business this season. He’s taken us around the park very well and shown why NZ kept picking him at 9 and not 7. He’s far more effective as a hooker and a spine of Hardaker, Williams, Lam, Leuluai and O’Loughlin is excellent on paper.

I agree. Suits 9 way better. Only moved back to 7 recently due to Powell's short comings in the position.

Williams has stated he will 100% be at Wigan next year. It is his dream to play in the NRL, but not yet.

Just read the report on the Wigan Today site. It would be a boost to know we’ve got him for at least a couple of years to help get this new era up and running.

His head needs to be in it though.

What I found most interesting is his comment about who is moving on.

My first focus is getting the send-off for Waney and Sam and Batty and all the players moving on,”

We know about Sam, Batty & Sutton but does this suggest there may be others? Perhaps I’m reading too much into it.

Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.

There's usually a fringe player or two. I'd imagine some (or all) of Field, Higginson, Bretherton, M.Davies and Worthington may go.

Acoording to the Mole, Roosters have signed another half back for next year (Brock Lamb). That moves Lachlan Lam even further down the pecking order.

All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Fri Aug 17, 2018 6:29 pm  
So he's not seen as good enough for the Roosters yet Wigan fans are pinning their hopes and dreams on him, At least if it goes tits up we'll still have Williams for the rest of the season so we will still be able to watch great rugby :DOH:
