Got to say I’m not convinced at all by Lam. I don’t get the feeling that the players are hugely engaged in playing for him. There were one or two signs before lockdown that things may be coming together but we took a step forward then a couple back.

He may well benefit from the current situation and end up being here in 2021 but he’s still got work to do to convince me that’s the right call.



It looked to me that we just gave up yesterday, the players knew we were outplayed and out enthused in the forwards and our backs couldn’t produce a miracle.

Where is this great attacking play we were promised? We just don’t look organised at all.

Re: 2021 Coach : Fri Sep 04, 2020 9:22 am  
I struggle to listen to Lam getting interviewed, makes so many excuses.

First half of last year when we were losing games he kept mentioning - “we’ve lost Sutton, Bateman, Tomkins” - excuse

Scrapping a win after being in a commanding position against wakefield - came on sky after happy as Larry.

Addressing being 12-0 down against Cas - “we had some poor decisions go against us” - excuse.

And the quote I read about yesterday’s game worries me the most

"I can't believe we played that way to be honest, I can't get my head around where it went wrong”

Re: 2021 Coach : Fri Sep 04, 2020 11:40 am  
When we have played really poorly he’s always said I don’t know where it went wrong’. That is a crazy thing to come out with surely? He’s the coach, he sets the game plan, he watches the game and should know instantly what has worked well and what hasn’t and he should then work on fixing it. If ever there was a sign of how poorly coached this team looks to be, it has to be how many times we get caught in possession on the last tackle. It’s becoming embarrassing and when you have the leagues best halfback from 2019 in your side and a kid in Smith last night who is renowned at junior level for organising sides, taking good last tackle options etc it’s simply not good enough.

Lam will be here next season, I’m convinced of that and that is pretty depressing in all honesty.

Re: 2021 Coach : Fri Sep 04, 2020 12:02 pm  
I'll get shot down for this but I think people are overreacting massively. Yes it was a poor performance and clearly Lam's gamble with rotating players hasn't paid off. Personally I can understand why he did it facing the bottom team on a short turnaround though. Especially considering we are bound to have a fixture backlog at some point due to COVID. Wane did it against Widnes (away, maybe 2013?) and came unstuck. Maguire didn't do it and ran out of steam when it counted in 2011.

Even after last night we have won 7 out of 10 games despite quite a bit of turmoil with big signings (G.Burgess and Greenwood) massively underperforming, and our experienced heads injured/past it (Lockers, Leuluai, Flower, Gildart) forcing us to use a really young pack. Not to mention having to effectively start the season twice due to the break (I know that's the same for all teams).

I'm not necessarily saying Lam is a very good coach, but he's doing enough to put us in a play off position. That's enough right now for me in the system we have. As long as he can do that, I'm willing to judge him on whether he can win the knock out games, not whether we drop the odd one-off clanger in the league four games after the break (the first three of which we won!).
