8082_1359018606.jpg I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8082.jpg |

| 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.

| Dan now reporting that Sam Eseh is coming for the rest of the year. Another big body can’t hurt.

If he was genuinely leaving Leigh the likes of Saints, Leeds and Wire would have been all over him due to the quota situation alone, we wouldn’t have even been in the conversation.
Decent players often come available late on, hopefully we’ll be in a position to pounce when they do, it looks like we genuinely had a marquee package available for Lam so hopefully one comes off soon.

I can't say I've been impressed with him with what I've seen of him for Leeds.
Desperate times though.

| For us old enough to remember it's the fairy tale of John Woods. Same club, same hopes and same outcome.

| So if we fail to get Lam it's clear that we have money to spend as it's rumoured we've offered 325k.
Therefore why not go and try get Mikey Lewis...
Yes he's under contract, but that doesn't seem to matter these days. And let's be honest he's a black and white fan!

for me no comment would have meant he was moving on.

| So what are we looking like for 2025?
1. Walker?
2. Briscoe
3. Chamberlain
4. Hardaker
5. Martin/Barrron
6. Turueman/ new signing
7. Abdul
8. Herman
9. Cust
10. Sao
11. Lane
12. Cartwright
13. Asiata
14. Ashworth
15. Aydin
16. Holmes
17. Burough/Balmforth
Now people will call me negative because they can't process the reality of where we are, ut to me that still looks like a bottom 3 side. No pace in the backs, no strike out wide, ageing/ injury prone players. No surprise lam wants to stay at leigh.
We really need another 3 quality addiction if we're going to be anywhere near competitive and a massive improvement in fitness, conditioning and our defence

| I think the signing of 2/3 top quality players (Lam being one) would turn that side from a 9-10th place side to 5-7th

| We were in a similar spot last year when people kept saying we need to make good use of the last couple of quota spots, we were linked with Clune ,Watson, Blore amongst others and ended up with Okunbor and Brown, hopefully we don't end up with two more duds next season
