Quote ="Binosh"Having mutual friends with Lam it was a shame how he was treated at Wigan, he loved that club and hung out by Rads & Lenegan, they were constantly interfering with signings, re-signings and player issues that should have been Lams responsibility and meddling on playing matters.
For all his faults Derek has given him free reign, even before he agreed to sign as coach for Leigh he had a meeting with Derek and gave him some advice on young players who had potential (Ipape being one) next minute Derek has gone and signed them, that’s what tipped Lams decision to join Leigh, can you believe Wigans hierarchy wouldn’t sign off the signing of Ipape and he initially came over on peanuts.'"
Did they interfere with the signing of Burgess?
