Jamie Lyon to retire at end of 2016 season

[Apey]

Writing was on the wall after his try assist for the Knights.

 

[Briza]

Did watmough walk out on a contract?

That's debateable, he was contracted to Manly for 2015.

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

Great player but his decision to not play at a representative level when without doubt his State needed him will always leave a big asterix over his career

Ummm no there won't be. He made a decision and stuck to it. His state was in trouble no matter what you say. Queensland unleashed a once in a lifetime team of players no team were gonna stop.

Lyon was honorable in sticking to his word unlike some other players and fans out there.

I'm a Warriors fan and would in a heartbeat sign Lyon up to fix our woeful holes and get some structure with our backs.

I wish Jamie Lyon the best for the future and thank him for all what he contributed to the game we all love

Be glad to see the back of the sook.

 

[lafai]

At least he has a legit reason not to play Origin now

There won't be an asterisk (not Asterix -

) in my eyes. He's been a great player, and the best centre I've seen since the 90's. Origin is a series of exhibition games, and the outcome of these games really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

[Sphagnum]

Bye bye judas

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Cya fatty

 

[Shorty]

So much hate lol.

He is strange it never looked like he had a real passion for the game, he just played it because it put food on the table.
That's the impression I get anyways.
Good player though.

Only from Parramatta fans really. Hardly surprising.

Bloody fantastic player who has had an amazing career.

Thanks for the years at Manly, Killer. Huge part of a great era for the Eagles.

 

[El Diablo]

That statement says a lot more about you than it does Lyon. Of all the arseholes that have played Rugby League and Jamie Lyon's your most hated? You must be a right old prick.

Good bye Jamie, you won't be missed at all. Go back to England where nobody knows you.

 

[catweasel]

Killer Lyon doesn't that merkin, he always seemed to play for the financial rewards, not much heart in his game.

 

[Nice Beaver]

:lol:

An Eels supporter throwing out the old "sand" shit when talking about Lyon.

Priceless, you idiot. :lol:

You dills just about have a brain aneurism when his name is mentioned.

 

[taxidriver]

I'm no eel supporter and I think what he did was a merkin act

I also think he was a petulant f**k when it came to rep footy

One of the best? No chance when you cat out of putting your reputation on the line in the toughest arena around

Good club player though

 

[mave]

I truly dont think Lyon gives two shits what Parra fans think.

He is too busy counting his premiership rings, etc.

Excellent club career and has been an outstanding player for Manly.

 

[nomis88]

Parra fans are too busy crying about peaheart Foran now. So good to see.

As have other Parra originals for clubs other than the one they should have been . . . just about sums up the Eels

Lyon has always been the best Centre in the game and still is, his time playing is to be considered 'The Lyon Era' because he'll go out the same way he started
