The plain truth is that during the last three years Saints have made huge strides forward and Wigan have gone backwards. Lam was a gnats whisker away from winning the GF but my first sentence would still have been true. The current gulf in class between the teams is huge and increasing. That cannot go on.
Lam seems a really nice bloke and was a great player for this club but the head coach job was unfortunately too big for him. I wish him well in whatever he does next. I want to remember him for being a great Wigan player.
