Quote: DSJ1983 "Lam interview sounds to me like we all expected from the off that he’s close to a new Leigh deal. On his future “We're working on some stuff and I'm not really in a position to comment on that too much. We're working on some stuff at the moment so hopefully we can clear that up in the next week or so."
If he was leaving I’d expect him to just no comment it. I’m glad we’ve seemingly shown some real ambition and gone for it but it was never going to happen so hopefully we can move on soon, hopefully the NRL merry go round at the end of the season might throw up a couple of players not previously though to be available. Think it really does need to be a 6 or 7 though, we need that bit of X factor.'"
To be fair you can read his interview one of a few ways and in fairness I wouldn't have expected him to say much different, a no comment would just add fuel to the situation.
If he comes its a huge signing but if he doesn't then at least the club are trying and it appears that a top half is on the list of priorities. It may well be why there is little in way of rumour on the last quota spots, if Lam signs we still have 2 free spots, if he doesn't we'll need to use one for a top class half especially if the rumour of Trueman to Wakey has some substance behind it.
