He sounded like he wasn’t convinced he’d be here next year when he spoke to Jenna Brooks last week on the Sky podcast. I’m hoping he’s been told that we had to win a trophy or else he’s gone because after not reaching a final last year, it would be the only thing to save him now for me. The team are devoid of ideas, relying on individual moments to see them through and the only thing that seems to win us games is a steel that’s been instilled in to these lads over a decade by other coaches.

Lam came in as a caretaker and it still feels like he is one. Ian Lenagan hasn’t got much wrong in his time at Wigan but the call to wait 12 months for Edwards to take over was one hell of a blunder. He either wanted the job or he didn’t and if he didn’t want it straight away, he shouldn’t have been considered. We need to have a clean break from all that nonsense for next season and get a new man in who we believe will be here long term.

Bar the last month we must of been watching two different teams as we have been poor in many matches and obviously choked big time in every big game.
We still look like we don't actually have a game plan or set moves, but its all opinion's i suppose.

I cannot see Lam being given the heave ho. Despite the circumstances he finished top of the pile and that counts for something. At last the defence seems to have been organised to allow the rest of the team to play. In the forwards we can all see that we are one dominant prop short and someone need to carry the can for the George Burgess fiasco but probably not Lam. Other than that we look as good for next season as I can remember. The backs worry me because I like to see pace outside and our wingers all seem to be broken.
I think that we look better balanced when we can go with three forwards and a back on the bench so seeing Clubb, O'loughlin and Burgess keeping a single seat warm is a really frightening prospect. A real test of Lams leadership qualities will be if he can say to those three "Sorry lads but you have not done enough to warrant inclusion".

Of course you can.

Some coaches work out, others don't.

Look at the appointment of Ian Millward. A total success at Saints, a disaster at Wigan.

It's never as simple as you guys who are constantly (and pointlessly) lobbying for the chairman's removal always claim.

Adrian Lam is here because Ian Lenagan made one mistake: trusting Shaun Edwards. Line that up against all his trophy wins and he doesn't look like so much of a catastrophe..

This GF semi is the big test for Lam. If we win then he's safe. If the team perform as they have done in the past three semis under his coaching then he will go. Perhaps not for 2021 as IL could well sign him for a year which will give him 12 months to find a quality coach.
Come 2022 and it's the club's 150th anniversary when all expectations from everyone associated with the club will be a trophy (s). Having a coach in place in 2022 who can't win semis is quite simply not an option.
So this GF semi is massively important for Lam.

With the 150 year anniversary, are we forgetting the few years in which we didn't exist?
