| Quote: Last Son of Wigan "You make a fair point. However I feel the void between the players Leeds lost to who they brought in was way bigger. Sinfield was the brains of the team, at times it's well documented how took team talks at the discrepancy of McDermott. He was their leader.
Peacock was the heart and guts of the team, drove them forward with his own brand of leadership, add Kylie into the mix and they lost a lot of their identity.
If we'd have lost say... Lockers, Sam and Flower then it would have been a fair comparison.
I'm not completely slamming Lam, not at all. We're second, we're winning games and I feel there's level of optimism around the club which is most welcomed by all.
I'm considering all aspects of his performance as head coach in 2019 so far.
Still a good chance to be in and win the GF this season. If this happens... I'll up my score to 10/10 with a big smile on my face
Agree that the legacy left to Lam was probably not as severe as some might have made out - at least in terms of the squad. Something that Lam deserves big credit for is the way in which he's found a way to get us competitive using a (weakened) Wane team whilst trying to move away from Wane's brand of Rugby.
I was nervous about anyone replacing Wane, who had his fingerprints on almost every aspect of the club. A less canny coach may have gone too quickly in changing styles and run the risk of losing the good aspects of how we play whilst at the same time not having the players able to win whilst playing scintillating attacking rugby.
He definitely hasn't been continuity Wane, but he's been pragmatic and he's found a way to win with various selection issues thrown his way which any coach would've struggled with. I'm much happier having him in post than I was at the start of this season, so I suppose that's probably the best endorsement I can give him. 7.5-8/10 for me, full marks is we can win at Old Trafford!

I do actually see where you’re coming from. Big finals and big games are definitely refereed differently. But they’re also played differently too. Everything about these games is a world away from a run of the mill away trip to Hull KR for example. Thus the refereeing is, rightly or wrongly, bound to be different.

| The same argument is made about Origin games compared to ordinary NRL matches. And it's true there too.

"Edwards said he decided not to take over at Wigan because he questioned his experience for the role. “It was very difficult and it is best not to say too much. I said Wigan needed a more experienced rugby league coach than me and I was right. They are doing well under Adrian Lam and I think they will win the Super League again this year.”
Interesting spin from all angles, how was he right saying experience was needed when Lam isn't experienced? How does he conclude Wigan will win under Lam this year ?
