You’d stand a chance of fans accepting it if you were at least honest about it and stopped talking like we should expect the Harlem Globetrotters any week now.

We’ve been waiting two and a half years and it looks further away than ever.

I agree on Lam's attacking team claims but even if we were the Harlem Globetrotters I would take turning it over <5m from the line above a 7 tackle set on the 20.

I agree, I’d probably go that way as well, especially when doing anything else has seemed a real struggle for Smith and Hastings but I wouldn’t claim I’m ultra attacking and have a desire to entertain. It’s that which is hurting Lam more than anything for me.

Should Williams come back I’d change my mind by the way. He would have free reign to take the attacking option close to the opposition line whenever he saw fit. There aren’t many better around the world than Williams at dabbing those kicks in to the in goal.

I do want Lam out after this year but I can understand why we are playing pretty boring rugby at the start of the year with an injury crisis in the backs. We played some alright stuff at the back end of last year when we had backs available.

I think even with a trophy this year Lam's had his chance and needs to go

The general consensus, at least on here, seems to think that way too. There will always be those who are happy with Lam has done & that's ok, but for me he's out of his depth. I think the most telling part of this is - we're top of the league and 7 from 7. If that can't mask the unhappiness and uneasiness of the fans, nothing will.

I will say however, that I'd love to see him be a coach (in the traditional sense), or an assistant to a proper head coach. That will never happen here, but I'd love to see it. If he went back to the Roosters and worked under Robinson, he'd do some great work imo.

Not everyone can be a head coach, but it doesn't mean they don't have a use. Look at Kearney as the prime example. He's back at the Storm, so they must see something in him, despite his failures at Parra and the Warriors.

Anyone follow Moley on Twitter? He's said it will be announced soon where he will be signing.

One positive out of this mess is that it may well deter future NRL raids, or at least make them think twice about approaching our players.

The messier it gets for Canberra and the more mud that is slung at both Williams and Bateman who seems to getting dragged into it the better.

2 players who were getting smoke blown up certain parts of their body by all the media in Australia one minute now getting slammed the next.

Hopefully Sutton and Rushton get out of there ASAP. Even if it's not back to Wigan I hope they find a better club in the NRL that looks after its players.

Apparently Newcastle have offered him a contract until the end of the year to play in the championship
