It's not so much a fuss, but if we're going to have a top level coach as Beaumont says, and it isn't going to be Adrian Lam, the sooner the club can start to identify that person the better.

Lam says that the uncertainty won't affect the players, or negotiations with players, but I struggle to think that could be true to be honest.

Most importantly I hope ALam stays for another 2-3 seasons after this. Longer even better but I think Aus beckons in his future.
As difficult as the current situation of uncertainty with him and players is, I see it as a part of our evolution I’m afraid. We will retain some, say thanks to others, and lose some we wanted to keep but on our terms. As we continue to build the club and playing staff level, we will move away from the numerous ins and outs each season to a few key moves here and there.
I will keep the faith as always and be happy in the news that we will fill our marquee spots.
I believe Derek values Lammy highly and that he will sign.

I would think when we are trying to extend players contracts, one question would be who will the coach be. I think privately Lammy has told them we’re he is most likely to be and sell the five year plan we are half way through.

VL is the voice of reason as ever, as no amount of "he says/she says" on here will affect any outcome. Keep the faith.

Now Lachlan being linked with a return to nrl from next year. Three clubs, Bulldogs, Titans and his old club the Roosters. I’m sure he is under contract for another two years, so a big transfer fee would be wanted surely.

The suggestion is that Lam and O'Donnell have NRL clauses in their contracts, so could easily lose both of those, as well as Asiata and Amone. With Brad Martin being the only name linked as an incoming, it's not looking great.

It's all paper talk, click bait. 2025 season we'll be in SL with a top coach and team. I think I'd have taken that when we were in the Championship in 2022. Stop panicking and enjoy the season, especially Matt Moylan's classy skills.

Indeed, if I were conspiracy theory minded I'd wager it's just the old boy soooper dooper league clubs trying to unsettle little Leigh aided by their client journalists.

If I was conspiracy theory minded.

Just let things play out, especially on the field

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…Dream on

During the game last night I noted the commentators mentioned in passing that Willie Peter's contract ends this season.

Another antipodean coach who's done great things at a smaller club with a solid set of players and core work values. Not heard any speculation about his future

Leigh must really be the one shop club, the eBay of rugby league

Peters is contracted to next season.

The rumours on Lam to Hull aren’t going away. Needs sorting because the longer the circus continues the worse it is for the club

First and last time I pay attention to commentators.

That did not look like a club in turmoil tonight.
If Moore had actually forced Salford to get onside and not @allowed the constant lie on at the tackle, it would have been a cricket score.
Media will be media, players will move on, Hull/Myler will continue to leak info and spread rumour like to try to appease fans and upset who they see as an immediate threat, and social media will jump on every fools gold nugget
BUT
The team and most importantly A Lam look like they are focused and ready to push for the top 6.

Lamms contact extension done ?? Dereks latest post on X is obviously to get us thinking , does the champagne give it away , the Bentley in the background is intriguing

https://leighleopards.co.uk/adrian-lam- ... extension/ Done deal. Thank goodness for that

The most important re-signing the club will do this season, or indeed in any season.

Yes, more players may leave this year, and I may be sad to see them go, but this is news that is cause for huge optimism. I cannot wait to see who we have lined up to sign for next season.

Really, really chuffed!

Too right. Think his signing also aids more players staying and getting in the needed players too, makes the club more attractive to play for

The best 60th birthday present ever !!!
Well in Lammy. I hoped for two and he committed to three


Well done Lammy, Derek, Chezzy, and Duksy. That combination, with Lam as the bait and focus for incoming players, is going to see us a very strong club moving forward.
I thought he did a Stella job his last year at Wigoon, with an injury ravaged squad and both star players sidelined almost all season. When can to us I was over the moon. He’s not disappointed and we are going into some really good times now.
Happy, happy Vancouver er Leyther

Happy Birthday, Vanners!

Cheers Bongser.
So nice of Derek to get me such a great present.

Can you imagine saints and Wigan fans celebrating a 3 year contract for a coach who’s taken his team to near the bottom of SL?

No neither can I

Ok troll features. What we can imagine is Stains winning nothing for 3 years, and Wellens getting rid of just like Cunningham was. We can also imagine that bottles of beer will not be served to disgraceful Stain fans when they visit the LSV due to maniac fans throwing them in anger. #stainshavefallenlol

Happy days. Great news. I would like to see Amone extend also. Happy birthday VL.

A big ask, but he might just do that now !!
