He's probably after an improved offer on his contract with Leigh.

Yeah, that's how I'm seeing it atm.

Don't think it's about an improved contract. He goes into the last year of his deal and can be negotiating that anyway. I think he just wants out. Possibly sees his job next year becoming very difficult with Asiata and O'Donnell either side of him.

If he is allowed to go to another SL club, then it is an almighty cock up on Leigh's part with his contract.

That's a good point, but we don't know who is coming in yet. It could also be the case for him wanting to better his contract, to maybe match, or bring in line with other high earn players i.e. Moylan, Armstrong, or any others who are coming in.
Apart from last week, his form has not been the same as it was. This needs ironing out asap.

After saying that, Lam Snr looked quite happy and relaxed in his pre-match interview yesterday. The club like to play cloak & daggers too. Watch this space i guess.

He might want an improved contract, but there are ways to go about it, and having a contractual dispute with the club isn't it. He could ask for a contract extension, and if he was willing to not have any clauses effective till the end of 2026, he'd likely be paid handsomely given his fed trained status and marquee contract.

I'll be very surprised if he is a Leigh player next season, and if this is the way he is going about it, I'm not bothered.

I agree, and this news should never have been outed, unless it's a bit of a tease, or even fake news. Lammy's 1 hour delay to his press interview due to a serious meeting, said to Trevor Hunt, that he would speak to him about it later with a smile on his face. In all honesty, I'm trying not to overthink it.............Que Sera, Sera.

Can't help but think those lovely agents are at work here, like John wilkin said the other week, agents don't get paid unless they are negotiating or renegotiating contracts

I agree. This is his agent after more money. I bet Saints and Hulls ears have pricked up.

He won't go to Dull FC... he's still ambitious

Don’t know what to make of this
Not been his best this year but still a vital player for us

Kicking game seems to be an obvious flaw in his game, but not to say it can’t improve
Always thought the NRL would come calling and he’d be destined to go back.
But if a superlegaue team has come calling and activated his clause then would be disappointing not kto keep him, especially with his dad at the helm, must be a big hitter or big big cash
Only thing I’d note, no where in there a mention of the club in question, if the clause had been activated surly the club would have been leaked with the story, hull havent excatly been able to keep this sort of thing quiet, but could be saints? But without a club there in name I do wonder if it’s a ploy for better terms, or if it’s genuine, time will tell but imagine it would have come as a shock to the club and especially if he’s pushing for a move in England

Would surly hope we had been very clear in the clause being NRL only

Without being disrespectful, I'm struggling to think of an NRL club that Lam could nail a starting spot at in 2025?
Saints look the most likely club in SL to poach him as a replacement for Dodd. But that would involve a transfer fee

Perhaps at a time when some SL clubs are already announcing new players for 2025 that Leigh will announce Lam's contract extension very soon?

He is contracted until the end of the 2025 season. He will either go back to the NRL before the end of that contract, or stay at Leigh until then. Personally, I think he will go back to Oz before the end of 2025. I hope I'm wrong though.

Here we go again with Myler and his club. These guys poking the bear and causing unrest with a player that is under contract.Has he no morals. I had an idea it was these guys when the story broke, as it was from a publication from the other side of the Pennines. Lockie needs to say something and quickly and put this to bed.
