Jamie Lyon: So underrated...

[jason taylor]

Good player, though will always be Judas for Parramatta fans.

You are such a tool. Grand Final number 5 isn't it? 4th with Manly. grind your gears much? :lol:

No argument he's a fine player, just saying he's a merkin. Left Parra to go to the country to get away from 'city life' but then ends up in St Helens :lol: then back to Parra's bitter rivals, Moanly. Refuses to help out a needy Blues side.

 

[Light Reflections]

Not underrated. Everyone knows how good he is.

First post nails it.

 

[firechild]

Parra fans wouldn't be mad 10 years later if he wasn't such a good player.

 

[Dragon]

He doesn't buy the Origin hype, and for that gotta respect him.

He's above it all

Truly great players shine at rep level. This myth has severely underperformed in every rep game he's ever played in causing him to retire from the highest level of footy. At least he realised he couldn't cut it at the highest level and gave up before he embarrassed himself any further.

He's just not the complete package and that's why people don't rate him. He isn't underrated, he's regarded exactly how he should be. A good club player but that is all.

 

[Dave_]

Anyone wondering why he retired from rep duties needs to watch his performances and they'll see why very quickly.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Rep performances (i.e. State of Overhype) can eat shit.

Finals footy and GFs are where it's at.

And that's where Lyon has proven himself.

Brilliant player.

Suck it up, Dave.

 

[RHCP]

He has such a great instinct for the game. The bloke wasn't born to be an athlete, he was born to play football.

No signs of slowing down at 31 either.

Like I said, good club player. Just like Nathan Merritt. Good CLUB player.

 

[Apey]

Just like Nathan Merritt.

:sarcasm:

 

[Parra Pride]

Hate the merkin almost as much as I hate Meblourne, but f**k me don't I wish he had stayed at the Eels every time I watch him play. Best centre in the game by a long, long way.

 

[Parra Pride]

Parra fans wouldn't be mad 10 years later if he wasn't such a good player.

Parra fans are mad because he was a f**king good player when he f**ked off.

You'd be mad if Foran was 'homesick', f**ked off to England for a few years, and then joined the Dogs.

Like I said, good club player. Just like Nathan Merritt. Good CLUB player.

lol comparing nuffy Merritt to genius Lyon. You have nfi

 

[Usain Bolt]

Hes not underrated, he just doesnt wanna play for NSW coz he saw how shit NSW are and he didn't wanna get carved up from Inglis all the time which seems to happen to all the NSW outside backs

Lol, I know that wasn't fair! Seriously though, great club player who struggled badly at the highest level of rep footy. He's rated where he should be.

 

[Jason Maher]

He rarely gets much mention from the media...

They're obsessed with the flashy players when this bloke is flat out one of the best players of the last 20 years.

He is BRILLIANT.

And yet he doesn't get talked up like GI, Slater, Barba (last year) etc.

Rarely gets a mention my arse. You must not watch many Manly games.

 

[Tommy Smith]

lol

All I hear is Slater this, Inglis that ...

Lyon is on their level every day of the week.

And yet he NEVER gets the blow job love ins from the media that they do.

 

[Misanthrope]

Underrated? The guy gets fapped over more than any other NSW player that springs to mind.

Correct. But because this is not the popular opinion it gets poo pood.
