Not convinced he'll sign for us, Hull, feel it's a bit of agent talk with the jobs he's been linked to in the last week or 2.

Maybe just trying to force Beaumonts arm?

Really weird situation all around to be honest. I really can't fathom why we have allowed him to get to a stage he's OOC in a few months, we should have renewed him last year after the euphoria of Wembley and making the play offs. We're now in a vulnerable position that Hull are exploiting who seems to have stumbled upon him after wanting Rowley.

For what it's worth, I think Lam's main goal is to coach in the NRL, hence him being non committal and referencing a 'poker face' rather than answer the question of his career. To be fair, I think with that in mind, I think he renews at Leigh with a NRL clause. The Hull job is a rebuilding one that doesn't put him in the shop window like the job he's currently doing does.

Lammy works on an ad hoc basis to which i think he will see this 5 year plan through for the Leigh Leopards to the end imo. The Hull job looks more dangerous for ones reputation the more & more we look at it. However, Asiata has hit the jackpot to secure his family's future financially. Our season has been so difficult with too many disruptions (due to injuries), and we've had to try and find our feet too many time so far. Can we get it together just in time to make the playoffs? In all honesty, I don't know.

We were rumoured to have offered Rowley a 3 year deal on 200k a year. It looks like the money is there for us to make an over inflated deal.

We've signed Briscoe, Asiata and Holmes for next year. If you listen to the rumours online we've made a marquee offer for Amone too.

Looks like we're raiding you guys. Which might he a coincidence as you've got a fair few OOC and our squad has a real lack of quality, but it's a bit strange to see us now linked with Lam

The rules for Marquee signings:
Club-Trained Marquee Players count as £50,000;
Federation-Trained Marquee Players count as £100,000;
Non-Federation Trained Marquee Players count as £150,000

For Hull John Asiata becomes the non-fed Marquee at £220K a year but only £150K counts to the salary cap
Tuimavave is rumoured to be on over £150K so he does not marquee status
and an attempt to lure Tom Amone at marquee prices would also not have marquee status

If Hull think they can compile the rest of the squad able to compete with less than £1.5M then good luck. I wouldn't trust Myler with my money.

Lammy has stated previously that he prefers to work on short contracts. His reasoning is that he needs to work harder to earn his next contract. I doubt he will sign more than 2 years but he is a man of honour and he loves the town, the club and his team.

Can't see Myler lasting long at Hull, to tell you the truth. Slimey and sly. Why would you want to work with someone like him. Burgess should have flattened him.

Lammy won't be taking that poisoned chalice of a job.

That's what i meant when i stated ( Ad Hoc) An ad hoc activity or organization is not planned in advance, but is done or formed only because a particular situation has made it necessary)) but, I think he will see the 5 year plan through imo.

More likely a move from the cry baby Derek.

Cokey I understand Ad hoc, I was merely backing up your statement.

On the contrary. Hfc have been unprofessional with leaking the signing of Asiata. Poor from Hfc

We are now seeing Hkr as a club who are going vey well, and in the right direction with a great chance of going to Wembley, and lifting the CCup, whilst Hfc are going in the opposite direction, and the fans are getting all giddy giddy like kids on Xmax morning.

Open sewer of a club at Hull right now. Not a good environment to put our player in.

Cheers Seppy. I must've mis interpreted it.

Sounds like I spoke too soon about Tuimavave, who apparently is being let go because he is 32 years old and injury-prone.

At this moment, it seems Lammy is fourth choice, as three others don’t want the job. So if I was him, I wouldn’t go anywhere near it.

There needs to be a decision made sharpish on Lam's future, one way or another. This, on top of the fact that about 20 players are out of contract is making the whole thing into a bit of a circus, and must be a distraction.

Absolutely, we need some positive announcements ASAP.

seems possible charnley o'brien retained martin from cas

In his press conference, Lam has pretty much said nothing will be done possibly for months. I'm not convinced that he's interested in renewing to be honest.

All seems really strange from Lam. Surprised how non committal he seems towards you.

He's obviously trying to get the best deal for himself. I think he'll use the links with us and Souths to get a good deal at Leigh.

Just can't see him leaving when he's half way through a 5 year plan.

How patient is Derek with coaches?

I get that he wants to get the best deal possible, but the longer it takes, the longer the circus continues and it is all he is asked about.

Just like they did with Asiata, the club need to make their best and final offer and if he accepts, great, if he doesn't, we move on.

Nature of the beast I’m afraid with players , managers and club owners.

You will never get a lifetime commital, and we shouldn’t expect one. Give them a contract and honour it. Once talks start , if they show no signs of signing then move on.

Don’t want Lam to leave but he can’t on one hand say 5 year project and on the other , stall on signing an extension.

If Lam doesn’t sign, and if I was Derek I’d ask Dawsons to make the biggest humble pie and ship it off to Worsley , to Rowley, and ask him come home.

I don't know what all the fuss is about now. DB said at the Cas match that we will have a top class coach and 3 marquee players and spend our full salary cap. Of the 20 off contract there are only a few I hope we keep and we will have more quota spots to fill. So we're going to have a very good squad. Plus, we'll still be in SL as all they will do is swap London for Wakey.That sounds bl00dy good to me. Let's get on with improving and hopefully beating Salford on Friday.
