Will a Challenge Cup win be enough to earn a contract extension beyond 2021?

Or does he need to win SL or both?

Many supporters said that he had to win either one of the two major trophies on offer this year given the squad but given the nature of our GF defeat coupled with Covid perhaps many of those were happy to see him get another shot at it.

For me we have to win SL League Leaders Shield and either the Cup or the SL title, preferably the latter.

All 3 would be great but the League and 1 of the big 2 for me is a must.

If he can secure 2 out of 3 he, should he want it, should in my opinion by rewarded with a 2 to 3 year extension.

Couldn't give less of a poop about the shield. In 5 years time nobody will be talking about us finishing top in 2020.

He has to win one of the two trophies. Nothing less will do.

And another +1 from me

Win one of the big two and he should be offered a deal for 2022. Don’t win one and it’s the exit door without any question.

To win the LLS shows we will have played consistently well over the course of the year. Surely fans want to see this?!

Obviously winning 1 or both of the big 2 is the goal but I would hate to go back to the days of seeing us play poor/dull rugby, qualify for the play offs and win SL. Personally with the squad we have I want us to win the LLS playing a quality brand of entertaining rugby.

Who cares what people will remember in 5 years time? I just want a consistent good season and that is one of the things I believe Lam has set out his stall to achieve.

We in the main achieved that in 2020 and I expect to see improvement next year.

I want to enjoy the full season, not just the last 6 weeks.

Being a traditionalist I actually prefer first past the post as a system, but they aren't the rules and as Saints showed in 2018, it means very little sticking 60 points on sides in the regular season if you can't win the big one.

As someone who hates losing of course I want to win all 3, but I don't see the LLS as an achievement if you then don't win the big one because as I've said before....you can no longer say the best side finishes top because although they will deny it, sides structure their season to come good when it matters.

As for enjoying the season, I haven't sat here since the season ended happy that we won 6 in a row or that we won the shield. I've sat here vexed off that we lost the final.

As someone who didn’t expect us to win the final at any stage this season I can cope with the loss.

To be honest last season I enjoyed more than most in recent years.

I’d be vexed off if however we don’t win 1 of the big 2 and the LLS next year looking at the squad we are putting together.

We have to win something, I just don't think the shield saves him.

No I totally agree.

We need one of the big ones but I expect improvement next year so LLS is the marker for that.

Win just that again no improvement and I think we will be looking for a change.

Personally I’m a huge fan of what Lam is doing at the club and I think he will deliver us a major trophy as well as the LLS in 21.
