Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3574870, member: 9853"] Did someone say Lachlan Lam? [INDENT][I][B]Oscar Pannifex:[/B][/I][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][I]"So, what can we take away from all of this?"[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][I]"Lam got four different looks in this game and picked the winner on each occasion. He’s clearly got the skillset to dominate in these areas but it’s worth noting the importance of the pivot in each example. Laybutt and De Belin did a superb job of straightening the attack in this one while Lam proved efficient at converting those half chances into points."[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][I]"That’s not to say that Lam can’t succeed as a traditional organising halfback, but from the evidence we’ve got he’s clearly best suited to a sweeping five-eighth role. Partner him with an established half or ballplaying lock and you will consistently put Lam into positions to manufacture points."[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][I]"It’s easy to picture him linking in this fashion with Jamal Fogarty at Canberra, Ben Hunt at St George or even Shaun Johnson at the Warriors. I’m less convinced (at this stage, anyway) that he can be the answer as a primary half at, say, Wests Tigers or the Gold Coast Titans."[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][I]"It’s fair to say though that the NRL will be only improved with Lam back in the top-grade competition, and a strong showing throughout the rest of the Pacific Championships could be the stepping stone to Lam’s NRL return."[/I][/INDENT] [URL unfurl="true"]https://rugbyleaguewriters.com/featured/pacific-championships-re-introducing-lachlan-lam/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
