LAM? IT'S STILL ON THE MENU

Jury is out on Lachlan claim, but Leigh boss Adrian says: It's business as usual with Wigan next up

LEIGH LEOPARDS chief Adrian Lam has shrugged off the storm surrounding his star halfback Lachlan Lam.

And the head coach insists it will not be a distraction for Friday's semifinal showdown with Wigan Warriors.

The 27-year-old Papua New Guinea international is free to play despite an allegation of unacceptable language made against him by Wakefield Trinity's Mason Lino.

Head coach Lam says senior officials at the club will handle the matter involving his son "as it unfolds," with his sole focus on the knockout match at the Brick Community Stadium against the Super League champions.
