Well by the looks of things Lam was appointed in 2016

That's even before Shaun Edwards!

I don't recall any glaring errors, but the 50/50s, and, indeed, the 60/40s, all went Saints' way. Wouldn't have altered the result, though. And as Ted rightly says, the refs in the NRL GF hardly covered themselves in glory. That’s one game though,most drool over the NRL ref standards don’t they? I ...
