Poor Bugger...he would of made the team for sure...no Doubt but i would rather him 100% for Parramatta in 2004...We'll need him in the backline...You could really tell in 2002 when he was ruled out for the season on how much we really missed him.
We are not a one man side but without him next year...we wouldn't win the comp let alone make the 8...i feel some people this year thought Jamie was a bit slow off the mark and granted he was but what i saw too that he did a shitload of work in defense.
And then in the last few months he pretty much blew some sides off the park.
I couldn't believe my ears when Peter Peters said "Lyon hasn't done anything this year" when he was picked for Australia and then against Manly at the stadium when he stood up Manly fullback Brett Stewart and some people behind me remarked "Well thats the only good thing he has done this year"...i didn't really care as i said "He is the best centre in the world"...which he is...and no i don't think i'm biased in saying that.
Tell me would anyone in their right minds swap Jamie Lyon for any other centre in the world?
You can have your Walkers,Tates,Harris,Vaganas,Gidleys and Hughes but i would still take Jamie Lyon over all of them.
He is the best center i have seen since Steve Ella.
