Lam's kids are all grown up back in Australia and he's in a relationship with a Wigan girl and has been for some time.

Then if he settled here and prepared to commit and Lenagan and Rads think he’s worth it, I hope we tie him down on a longer deal when the time comes. Until they do that he still feels like a caretaker in my mind.

I’m sure I read somewhere on here one poster possibly Rogues that IL has an informal policy/understanding on awarding contracts on trophies won.

I think it was more an understanding between coach and chairman.

1 trophy is 1 year, 2 is 2 year, 3 is 3 years.

I'm definitely an IL "happy clapper", but IF that's true then it flies in the face of almost every successful sports team in recent memory. The majority of successful sides seem to be the ones that have stable managers and sides. The all time great sides go even further and have the same manager for 10+ years.

I genuinely don't know how having a manager on rolling one year deal is a benefit? I'm sure I read in the week that the Storm are having issues with their 2022 recruitment as there's uncertainty over who will manage them next year. If a team like the storm, with their players, are having issues then surely it must be a hindrance to us too?
