Wigan Warriors chairman, Ian Lenagan said:



You could say the pressure is on.....

Win nothing next year and its bye bye

He knows he has to win one of the big two and he has no excuses next year. It’s good that it seems to have been made that clear by Ian Lenagan. The steps taken at the back end of this season were very positive but they need to be a starting point.

Good call I think.

With a tiny bit of luck we would’ve been SL champions and he cannot be blamed for that. Prepared us well for every game bar 2 and we played some great attacking rugby. Our defence was also incredible 95% of the time which he’s done very well to carry through from Wane’s era.

Believe he’s also a big reason Hastings and French are sticking around so time for them to bring the SL trophy back for us next year.

Right decision to give him another year I suppose because we were very fine margins away from winning the Grand Final, but I'm definitely not over the Salford play off and Leeds CC losses. Only a major trophy will be acceptable next season IMO.

Not unexpected but with the squad he’s got at his disposal for 2021 and the nature of our end of season run in, he’s under huge pressure to deliver which is now an essential requirement to stay in post rather than desirable.

Despite the pleasantries the message is clear, deliver a trophy or else!

Good call, I was a lam basher but we seemed to have turned a corner after the challenge cup semi. Excited to see how next year turns out.

Lam would be the only coach to win his first Grand Final later than his second season at a club if he does manage it.

I’m pleased that Lam has signed a one year extension.
Our defence has improved and our wing to wing ball movement was exceptional. If we had a winger on the right wing in the Grand Final, I’m sure we’d have been victorious.
Bibby just doesn’t quite have the speed to finish off half chances.
I’m still worried about our props. They tackle well but apart from Bullock can’t make serious dents in the opposition.
I have read that Saints have signed two more big forwards from Australia so it’s not going to get any easier in our derby battles next season.

He deserves another shot after coming so close..but I suspect its win the big one next time or nothing for him.
