I think the big difference is that Lam Snr was out of contract at the end of the year, while Jnr has instigated a contract dispute, which rarely ends in the player staying put.
I’ve no idea where he’ll be playing next year, wouldn’t surprise me if it’s Catalans, Hull or Leigh to be honest. But it’s far from certain that he’ll be staying at Leigh imo.
Have to say I agree with you on the differences between Lam Snr & Jnr. As you say Snr was out of contract so totally different scenario to being under contract and activating a release clause and going in to a contractual dispute. Seems a very very high risk play even if his dad is the Coach just to get a better deal, as you’d normally expect behind the scenes discussion to up your deal rather than go into dispute.
It could be that Degsy caves in works things out and ups the deal Lachlans on or could be Degsy stands his ground and they agree a mutual termination of contract or buy out fee of remainder of said contract.
I’d be amazed if the deal offered by Hull as rumoured is huge money that his dad wouldn’t advise him to take that kind of money if it’s on offer especially working under a coach of Cartwrights standing and if the idea is to build a team around him.
I just don’t think it’s as cut and dried as many think.
