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.

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.
