For the last few weeks Jamie Lyon has been telling anyone who will listen that he does not want to play origin football anymore. Basically he said he was retired from rep football. Much debate occurred as a result of this decision none of which made any sense to me. If the bloke doesn’t want to play no one can make him pure and simple.

Then a couple of weeks ago the bright sparks of NSWRL decided to select Lyon from the country team to play against city in the annual city v country game. Further debate occurred as to whether Lyon would play the game or stand aside sighting his “retirement from rep footy” statement as a valid reason not to play. He then defied all logic and played for country for reasons I am not sure of but can only assume he felt sorry for them.

Then today after his Manly side beat a dreadful Parramatta, Lyon made the following statement when asked if he would play for NSW in the origin series “If they pick me, I will play”.

You dirty rotten liar Jamie Lyon!!! You have systematically lied your way through your whole career and you continue to do so. You left Parramatta because you were “home sick” and then promptly moved to England to play super league. You then told your English team that you were retiring back to Australia and did not want to continue your league career anywhere so they release you and now you are back playing full time. And now you lie about not wanting to play origin and look who is suddenly on the cusp of playing. Jamie Liar!

I am actually hopeful he is picked and plays because I do not rate him that highly and think the Queensland back row will tear his lying lips apart.
