Adrian Lam happy to be "on edge" over Wigan Warriors future

Adrian Lam wants to stay on at Wigan next season

The coach – on a one-year rolling contract – wants to stay on for 2021.

He hopes to speak to chairman Ian Lenagan and executive chairman Kris Radlinski in about a month about their plans for next season.

And while such uncertainty may be annoying for some, Lam says it is keeping him “on edge”.

“We’ve not had a discussion and we probably won’t, and I don’t want it any different than that,” said Lam, who originally joined for 2019 but extended his stay after Shaun Edwards’ U-turn.

“It keeps me on edge – there’s pressure there.

“I have an agreement with Kris and Ian that we’ll talk when it’s the right time, and that’s probably in the next month or so.

“Hopefully we can win a Challenge Cup and then negotiate!”

Wigan, whose season finished a win short of the Grand Final last year, are 80 minutes away from a Challenge Cup Final and currently level on win percentage at the top of the Super League table.

“I’m really pleased with the position of the club,” added Lam. “Coming in there was a transitional period and we lost a few senior players, and I brought in a lot of youth to try and up-skill them, and I think the club is in good hands.

“I’d like to be a part of that, whether I am we’ll have to wait and see, but I think the club’s heading in the right direction.”
