Lachlan Lam is the first player to represent his state through the father-son Origin rule
THE Maroons have taken a future State of Origin star from NSW. He’s a Sydney-born teen who has never lived in Queensland.
And the Blues can’t do a thing about it.
Adrian Lam’s son Lachlan, born and raised in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, will play halfback for Queensland’s under-16 team in the curtain raiser to the 100th State of Origin game this month.
Lachlan is the first player to represent his state through the father-son Origin rule, introduced last year as part of revised eligibility laws.
