Not to mention that we weren't actually charged with breaching the salary cap, but the spirit of the salary cap because we found a loophole that was perfectly legal.

Stop letting facts get in the way of some more Wigan bashing ha ha ha

Sorry

Exactly NK. The point regarding the playoffs is of particular interest as Lam has insisted that he would have done things differently had he knew he had more than one year at the start of last season and that they had addressed that this time around. I assumed that the way our forwards went about their business was one of those things as it has clearly become past it's sell by.

I don't want this to come across as Lam bashing though. It's really just about this one selection which I feel he has got wrong. I do, however, take on board the point about turning up late for training though, if that is true.

On that point, it would be really disappointing of Bullock were that the cause. It's not as though it's difficult to turn up on time. If he's a poor timekeeper just aim to arrive an hour earlier. It's not exactly rocket science, is it? It would be such a shame if he hamstrung his own career for such a trivial reason. I shudder to think just how stupid you'd have to be to allow that to happen.

As someone who's always had difficulty raising my head from the pillow in the morning, I have some sympathy!

Hardaker just referred to Bullock as ‘Mr Always late’ on a social media post. Either he’s being wound up over the rumour of his time keeping which is going about or it seems to have legs.

If it’s true and it’s hindering his chances of getting picked then Bullock really needs to have a word with himself. It’s a pitiful way of risking career progression.

If Bullock's always late then it's up to Lam to get it sorted. He's the coach so man manage!
Anyone who's been in management has had someone who's always late. You just have to handle it right and make sure that the individual still is able gives their very best to the job.
If Lam has a problem with Bullock over time keeping then Lam should get it sorted without it impacting on the team's performance.
If Lam is preventing Bullock from doing the job he can do then that is just not good enough.
IL/Rads need to have a word with Lam and tell him to get it sorted, and quick!

Wane had a problem in that regard with Sam Hopkins when he signed from Leigh, Wane handled it by sending him back. Do you think Lam should do the same with Bullock IF it's true. None of us know if it is though do we?

Not sure how the finger gets pointed at Lam on this one? Quite simple really - you turn up on time or you don't play.

There's interesting articles flying around about the current LFC team and now they are all in an hour early for training as they are driving standards between each other.

I don’t know what more Lam could do than leaving him out of the first team if this is down to lateness. I’m sure if it’s come to that there will have been words had, fines handed out and so on and if they’ve not worked then time in the reserves seems fair enough. As Rogues says nobody knows the if it’s the case or not but if it is then there’s only one man to blame.

On the flip side if it is down to just issues with playing performance, then it’s bonkers for my money.

Absolutely

Where has it been said other than a comment from a supporter that Bullock is turning up late for training?

There was a post from Zak on social media labelling Bullock “Mr Late” (or something similar) apparently.
