He will also coach the Roosters national under twenty's side. He is a formerPapua New Guinea rugby league football player.Lam had a fertile career with 14 State of Origin football matches for the Queensland side, including a man-of-the-match performance in the third game of the 995 series.

2000 Rugby League World Cup he also played 1 match for rest of the world VS Australia.Lam is one of only a few players to have played state of origin for Queensland and for a country other than Australia. He is also the only player to be captain of a Queensland side and captain of a national team other than Australia. The reason he was allowed to do this was due to the super league war, Queensland were in need of a half back due to the fact Allan Langer had signed with super league. Although this decision was not popular with many, Lam has always believed him self to be more of a Queenslander than Papua New Guinea in everything but birth right.
Adrian Lam gained some notoriety when a personal home video he had made found its way into some 'adult' video stores.
