And what's your opinion of Jaime Lyon?
It was a different situation with Lyon. He walked out the Eels because of personal reasons and he did not get on with Brian Smith . His motivation was not about money. He only started playing again (for Wee Waa and then St. Helens) after given a clearance from the Eels.
On the other hand SBW wanted money and he had issues with his club and the NRL. When he walked out of the Dogs he already had a plan in place. The Dogs had not given him clearance to leave them and play elsewhere but he still went ahead and signed a contract to play rugby in France.
In SBWs time playing league I don't think he was one of the superstars. He had lots of potential but never went to the next level.
And what's your opinion on SBW and Lyon?
