Because of course he would come and work for Chris Chester

Nobody on here is saying it will happen but he may be interested in working WITH Chris Chester if the money is right. They are friends.

I have to agree his coaching approach to playing is boring. But in his defence he was coaching a pretty poor Wigan side. Yet in his 3 years he got them close to a Grand final and that was a very average Wigan squad.

A look at Lam’s win percentage in his 3 years at Wigan show him to have the second highest in SL.
His career win percentage at the end of the 2021 season is 63%. Only Christian Wolfe has a higher percentage.

I would have Lam as the new Leigh Head Coach in a heartbeat, yes Wigan were quite boring & yes they also scored less tries than Leigh, but we were absolutely dire in defence & ended with a worse season than 2005 with (on paper) a much better squad.

I will take a bit of boring for a return to Super League

We were champions wen he took over. He made us that bad. Trust me, he isn't a good coach. He does have ability though. When you make players like Hastings look bad you have some talent. Appoint Lam and you won't be back any time soon.

Lam was not the problem at Wigan, it was the decline in the level of squad.

I think that's a fair comment

The squad doesn't look that good next season either !

Maybe its time to revisit Paul Rowley to see if he would reconsider?

Thought?
