Wake me up when there are no more Jamie Lyon threads.
OK...I'll start one about how good it feels to finish 12th. :roll:
Some people feel that constant venting is like exorcism....don't read them if it bugs you.

It would appear, not as fickle as Jamie Lyon.

desidirata said:Do you here me dictating that i do or do not condone free speech? Or is just a fantasy that you concocted within your own absurd mind? And i find you highly hypocritical seeing as though you imply that i am not allowing other people free speech and it is my understanding that you believe jamie lyon to be a bad person or whatever for leaving parramatta, so i ask you: what happened to freedom fullstop? And may i remind you that free speech is not given directly as a right under the australian constitution, merely under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and is actually defined as freedom of opinion and expression.

But for me it runs deeper,
What more can any of us trade on than our word, and reputation.
My Word is that I will do something and if I don't my reputation may see my word not worth anything.
Jamie gave his word, and in the end said I have had a gutful of the City. For a poor country boy I can see that.
We start hearing rumours, partially put out from the 2GB continuos call "All Manly need now is a good outside back and I can see one of those coming shortly" - Blocker Roach round 8 this year.
Then he wants a complete release to play for Wee Waa, we offer a partial saying, if you want to Play NRL you play with us, anything under NRL that we are not into, suit yourself (basically)
Then Last week, he turns up at Brookvale, and at one time has a Manly Jersey draped over him.
So all in all, has the intent been true, or has it been Jamie going back on his word "I am only a country boy and want out of the City". I am sorry to say that manly is more city than Parramatta is.
The Truth may be that Jamie, Noel Cleal and Jamies Manager, orchestrated this from the middle of the off season, to have Jamie Playing for Manly in the middle of the year. It didn't work because we took Jamie at his word. We Gave him a shot at what I would think were Contra Deals at Penrith, Canberra and any other Outside of Sydney club, but no, he wants to be with his mates in Manly, and if he had said that from DAY 1 when he walked out, Fitzy's response would have been, You signed a contract, no way no how.
The Godfather said:Jamie does not want to be at Parramatta, for whatever the reason, bottom line is that he is not willing to give his all for the Eels.
Do we want
a) Jamie to see out his contract, but not put the effort in. Takes the big dollars, bludges, and walks away in a couple of years with a lot of money.
b) Jamie pisses off now, we use the money to get decent players and those juniors that are willing to give it their all for the Eels ?
