Only 100k on the cap isn’t it? Given he’s non quota?

So all about how much of the overall wage budget you feel he’s worth.

Yes of course forgot about that, getting Lam for 100k cap would be amazing, we will also have to compete with more attractive clubs, so say Catlanas offer 200k, we need to offer 250k.

If the rumours are true about the 300k contract, there is no way he’s getting that anywhere else, that’s top level aus money never mind super league and he ain’t getting a gig in aus

Of course it's not true.

That FC Fandom account is embarrassing. I can't believe anyone thinks he's worth taking notice of.

Not sure he has got a rumour right yet, only gets it right if he repeats what other people are saying.

Two options that I can think of. 1) There is a standard NRL clause that is badly worded and taken advantage of, or 2) Leigh have simply messed up the contract, probably as a result of back and forth between them and Lam's agent.

I'd say the second option is most likely. But wouldn't completely rule out the first.

So he’s effectively committed to a bumper contract extension for one year with the option of a second year entirely in the players favour? They’ve then used that so Hull make him a big offer then Catalans match it and he gets a big pay rise again no risk? Fair play his agent.

Is there talk of it being contested your end or is it accepted that it’s legit?

To be honest, I've no idea. All I've read is that the club are adament that the clause is only valid for NRL clubs, as used by Kai O'Donnell, and that it may go to an independant tribunal. But that is from the reports from Dan Tomlinson and Aaron Bower. Not seen any actual quotes on the matter from Leigh. Both Lams were pretty guarded about it when asked about it in their post match interviews.

Still think he will stay at Leigh.
