LEIGH LEOPARDS head coach Adrian Lam insists that he has no interest in taking over the head coaching role at the South Sydney Rabbitohs. The Rabbitohs are coachless for 2025 with the sacking of Jason Demetriou whilst assistant Ben Hornby has taken charge of Souths until the end of the 2024 NRL season. A number of names have been linked .
Following the news today that South Sydney Rabbitohs have sacked head coach Jason Demitriou, Leigh Leopards’ Adrian Lam has been suggested as a name that could take the job.
The Souths have had a horror start to the season, currently standing rock-bottom of the NRL table, with just four point (two of which they earned through their bye week) and -136 points difference.
Last year, Sam Burgess left the club after falling out with Demitriou, and since rumours that he might be sacked started last month, Burgess has been a name linked with the job.

Last year, Sam Burgess left the club after falling out with Demitriou, and since rumours that he might be sacked started last month, Burgess has been a name linked with the job.
However, legendary commentator Andrew Voss has now suggested Adrian Lam’s name on his SEN Breakfast radio show.
He said: “I’m crystal-balling a little bit here and trying to put the pieces together.
“With Lewis Dodd of St Helens coming to Australia, and Mark Ellison, South Sydney’s football manager, flying over to England, it makes me think: ‘you’re not flying over for one signature’.
“I can’t help but think that Adrian Lam is in the mix to come back to Australia and if I’m joining the dots, those dots lead straight to South Sydney.
That doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t think that’s the logical outcome.
“I think it’s for a new coach and I’ll take a punt. If I’m walking to a casino and I’m playing the chocolate wheel then I’m saying I’ll have $10 on Adrian Lam please.”
This is of course, just speculation from ‘Vossy’, but what he says makes sense.
It’s a long way to fly from Australia to England, and with so much negotiation happening online nowadays, it wasn’t totally necessary.
