Do you want Jamie Lyon at Parramatta?

[stiffmeister]

I voted yes btw.

I've always thought that the power of forgiveness and the chance of atonement for an individual should be greater than that of hatred and loathing.

Suity

Suity, you speak wisely

 

[stiffmeister]

I voted yes.

He is one of the best players in the world.

At some stage we all need to move on and get over what happened.

People make mistakes, they grow up and they change.

Fish, I'm pleasantly surprised

 

[stiffmeister]

He made a mistake get over it. If you did something crap & you want to make good, would not you want forgiveness?

 

[fish eel]

mind you I wouldnt be sorry if he went elsewhere!

 

[Parra Guru]

It's not as simple as 'get over it' for some of us Stiff.

I can understand why people want him back, but I don't. That's just my thoughts.

 

[stiffmeister]

Agreed, but while there is that opportunity for him to come back, lets not shut him out. he is a rare talent

 

[Parra Guru]

I don't really think the club would take my opinion into account, so if they re-sign him I'll just have to deal with it.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I'd have Jamie Lyon, if we didnt have Ben Smith, Brett Delaney and of course Timana Tahu.

I forgave Jana Pittman a week ago...look where that got me....

And personally, i think wanting to come back, isn't looking for forgivness, it's looking after himself still.

Putting your hand up and saying "i was a selfish little prat, who thought life revolved around me and didn't consider how my actions affected the lives of others", that may be grounds for forgivness, but in two/three years, i haven't heard him say that yet....

put it this way, Lyon can probably write his own cheque at some clubs, but he can't at ours, the acid test is? is he willing to part with some money to try and pay back what he owes us?

we'll soon see.

I think there is a lot of things we havent heard Jamie say.

Looking at the whole thing from a distance, a few people have said things like 'i'm sick of his excuses....first it was this...then it was this....now he wants this etc etc', but to be honest, we havent really heard that much at all from the horses mouth, so to speak. Its almost been a big game of chinese whispers for a couple of years.....

plus he is the only signature i am missing from the 03 strip

I'm sure he would of been missing in alot of 04 strips too...;-)

If you did get it mate your jersey would be reduced to nothing more than toilet paper!

 

[Kornstar]

I voted no, not because i don't want him back, i just don't think we need him.

I know people make mistakes and if we were in need of a centre then i would say yes but i would hate to lose Inu, Delaney, Hayne, Farrar or D Williams because they went after Lyon.

I also think he is untested as a 5/8th, as someone said, if he was that good at 5/8th, St Helens would have him there now week in week out.

Who said we are going to lose them??

There will be other players leave who will free up plenty of money.

It isn't necessarily the money though Suity. It's the first grade opportunity. Lyon coming back is still young, as is Smith, Tahu and Delaney if they stay. It is inevitable that some of these kids will leave for their futures sake.

 

[Stagger eel]

I think we will need to sacrifise some of these kids mentioned for Lyons signature, it's inevitable.

If that is the case definately NO NO a thousand times NO!!!!!
