fair enough but all if he does come and stay for two three years say, what is gonna happen to the likes of foster etc a great shame that we are going to prolong their opportunity to play for the club.

again don't get me wrong lyon is an absolutely fantastic player and played really well for us saved us at times, but the reaction of some people on the other thread calling him a god, messiah etc is a shame also were we really that much of a one man team when he played we haven't won the super league since his departure but still two challenge cups not bad if you ask me so the other players around him must have been doing something right.

also in my opinion gidley has done as much if not more for the team than lyon but the words legend and messiah havent been mentioned after his name

3 - Foster/Lyon
4 - Lyon/Foster

I'll be pleasantly surprised if Foster is ready for a permanent first team spot next season.

chris dean?
tyrer on return?

I wouldn't be surprised if we offer Gids another one year deal.

Gidley and Lyon... I'd be happy with that.

would love it if he did come back

It would be great if we could keep Gidley and take Lyon as well.

Surely they could provide valuable support to our young centres.

Gidley and Lyon in the same team would see a river of seminal fluid flowing from various fallices around KR, myself included

I would have Lyon back now, but its likely he will be a direct replacement for when Gidley moves on. Lyon could teach a lot of youngters the skills of the game.

Its a fair point to make in isolation, but it is contradictory to your original point as Lyon isn't average.

There are plenty of other imports to choose from if you want to question whether youth should get a chance.

If we blindly put are youth players forward, then we will no longer be a top side. Don't forget in 2 years time we will have lost the spine of the last super league winning team. You need quality and experience, to let the youngster come in and grow.

If we had Gidley AND Lyon we wouldn't need the other 11 players, so we'd save a bit of money.

First pre WCC interview with Lyon on Sky text.

What is it about? Build up to Sundays game with Quins? How Manly are going to stuff Leeds? No

How he loved playing for Saints and that he will be back over here playing "when his contract is up in 2 years"

Saints will have first refusal because he loved the club and the fans.

ahh Roguey you never fail to let us down.

I am slighty disappointed you havent worked out the average the Saints squad will be in 2011 if we sign Jamie Lyon though.

SSN says he wants to see out his contract at Manly and then wants to return to Saints.
