Jamie Lyon the best centre I have maybe ever seen. Behind Hayne and Hindmarsh he is our best junior. I remember seeing him in NSW CUP and he lit up the field everytime he touched the ball. The whole crowd was standing out at Penrith stadium. He was absolute dynamite and couldn't be held back. With 2nths he made his NRL debut.
I'd go as far as saying had we kept him we win a title.
Don't think Lyon, Hindmarsh were Parra juniors

Bulldogs supremo Phil Gould has landed a double blow on local rivals the Eels by staving off one poaching raid and executing another of his own.

Bulldogs winger Blake Wilson has turned down an approach from Parramatta for next season.
The Eels are on the hunt to replenish their outside backs and identified Wilson, who made his NRL debut for Canterbury in 2023, as a possible target.

Parramatta’s pitch was on the basis of informal talks and with no official offer extended.

A player of promise for the Dogs, Wilson scored six tries in 11-games for Canterbury having joined the club in the pre-season.

Meanwhile, Eels SG Ball winger Cody Parry has been released by Parramatta to join the Bulldogs for 2024.

A promising outside back, Parry represented the Australian Schoolboys.


Granted i didnt see much of our SG Ball team, but we are in a position where we should be releasing junior rep level wingers when our outside back depth is so poor?
Parry couldn’t get back into the team that won the SG Ball competition. Given that most members of any given SG Ball side will never play first grade, how good could he be? Most likely is the Dogs have signed him to make up the numbers in Jersey Flegg; another grade where most players will never play NRL. The clubs are aware of this, but they are required to field a Flegg team, and there aren’t enough 21 year olds with NRL potential to go around. So they sign the likes of Parry, Lenaz and Noah Reed to round out their squads.
