In a remarkable turn of events, Leigh has secured a golden-point win over Hull KR in the Challenge Cup final, according to a report by theguardian.com.
After years of struggling and facing numerous financial crises, Leigh has emerged as the center of the rugby league universe.
The team's history of playing in front of small crowds and enduring a lengthy period in the wilderness has now become a thing of the past.
Lachlan Lam's left boot played a crucial role in securing this historic victory.
The triumph marks Leigh's first time winning the sport's biggest prize since 1971.
Despite being mocked for their rebranding as the Leopards, Leigh defied expectations and clinched the Challenge Cup.
The match was settled in extra time, with Lam emerging as the match-winner.
This victory has put Leigh back in the spotlight and has become the talk of the rugby league community.
Lam's performance as the team's scrum-half was fittingly instrumental in securing the win.
His father, Adrian, who coached Leigh 21 years ago when they won the final against Bradford, kicked a drop goal in that match.
Lachlan was present then, witnessing his father's historic moment, and has now created his own legacy.
Adrian expressed his gratitude for having his son play for his team and acknowledged the incredible story that has unfolded in rugby league.
