Quite right but if he is the outstanding 20 year old then there are 15 other teams in the NRL he can go to before coming here.
Perhaps Lochlan Lam can use Super League experience to develop and improve his career, a step up from a feeder team rugby and an opportunity to have some life experience playing some big games while gain life experience living in another country. This very transition to new life would be made far easier if his father is also in the same country working with him at the same club.
Many NRL players have raised more awareness to their careers with a spell in SL, and then later gone on to be a success in the NRL, our very own Blake Green for example.
If I were in Lochlan's position, I would be very interested at hearing what such a move can offer.
