Dont think for one minute that Lam will come here but you have to ask yourself would it be worth it knowing its highly likely he would do exactly what Clifford did

Unfortunately that's a risk with most NRL signings these days.

For some reason NRL clubs don't see to fancy Lam (also Croft), be better than Dodd, Seizer, Hutchinson and Gamble.

If he could do what clifford did he'd have done it by now but looks like no one in the NRL is interested. Let's be honest, he'd be cover at best for an NRL side

Absolutely. If he signs which is unlikely and he has a get out clause he'll do to us what he's doing to Leigh and it's back to square one.

He wants to go back but no one is in for him at the moment but he's biding his time.

In the meantime there's a loophole in his contract which Leigh have overlooked that allows him to sign for a SL club. He's invoked this and we and maybe a couple of others are offering him a better deal. He has another good season and an NRL club comes in for him and It's Clifford all over again leaving us scrambling around for a replacement.

That's the way it is sadly.

I'd be happy to take Lam for a year as long as we had plenty of notice of him leaving.

Depends what he wants from an NRL move too. Does he want to be first choice, like Hastings or is he happy as a 3rd choice like Clifford.

Unfortunately though if a player wants to move, you can't really do much

Even if a player doesn't have a release clause if he wants to go home you can't do much about it.

Clifford gave us plenty of time and that worked out well

Clarke and Smith not in charge of recruitment any more.

Jenna Brook on Sky Sports:

"Lachlan Lam: it looks like Hull FC have got their latest man"

Tomkins hat trick and Sky man of the match next week nailed on.

I'll wait until the club announce anything in regards to Lam, if it comes off it takes our recruitment up several levels but I'm still pessimistic, would hilarious to see Degsy have the meltdown of all meltdowns.
