Rugby League Update: Leigh Leopards Coach Hints at Lachlan Lam’s Future Resolution After Wigan Warriors Clash
Leigh Leopards coach Adrian Lam has suggested that the uncertainty surrounding Lachlan Lam’s future will be resolved after the team’s crucial local derby against the Wigan Warriors on Tuesday. The half-back’s contract status has been a subject of speculation, with reports indicating a potential clause that could allow him to explore options with other Super League clubs for next season.
Lam was instrumental in Leigh’s recent win over Castleford, which has kept their playoff hopes alive. However, the coach remained coy on the specifics of the situation, stating that his focus is on the upcoming match against their local rivals at the Brick Community Stadium.
“There’s nothing from me to add, it is what it is at the moment,” Lam said during his pre-match media conference. “My focus is on this short turnaround and making sure that we give our best performance against Wigan. We’ll deal with that first.”
Lachlan Lam, the Papua New Guinea international, had previously expressed hope that the matter would be resolved within a week. “It’s a tough one for me to answer as well,” he said. “We’re working through some stuff and I’m not really in a position to comment on that too much. We’re working on some stuff at the moment so hopefully we can clear that up in the next week or so.”
While Hull FC have shown interest in acquiring Lam, should he be able to find a way out of his contract with the Leigh Sports Village club, the Leopards are determined to retain his services.
The Leigh Leopards’ clash against the Wigan Warriors on Tuesday promises to be a riveting local derby, with the added intrigue of Lachlan Lam’s future potentially being resolved in the aftermath.
