Did some solid recruitment for us then stole our best player and my favourite at the time the player the club was building around Jamie Lyon and that derailed us for a long time.
So Crusher can get stuffed
Crusher didn't steal Lyon, Lyon was already gone. He just took him in at Manly when he was there. Crusher done an amazing job in recruitment while he was at Parra.
Make no mistake, Lyon leaving was Brian Smith's fault, and doesn't sit with anyone else.
That's the past, if he stays does that materialise into a title? No one knows
Brian Smith was the sole person responsible for Lyon leaving. Cleal was still at Parramatta when he left.
Jamie Lyon was a fuckwit. Brian Smith was never the problem.
It happened that long ago i cant remember the details ,anyway this will help Lyons former Eels team mates weren't impressed that makes him a fuckwit by all accounts in my humble opinion.
Cleal was at Manly in 2004. Want to have a guess when Lyon started to get "homesick", only to fly to the north west of England (which is only a bit closer to home than Parramatta) before linking up with Cleal at Manly.
Yeah I was gonna say I must be having a brain fart as I thought Cleal was gone and was obviously the orchestrator of his " homesickness " . The way I always remebered it was Cleal got fucked off so took his bat and little fuckboy with him ( Via a stint rooting pigs and running his contract term out in the UK ) .
They started the Brian Smith rumours , everything from Brian wouldn't let him have a week off after his mrs miscarriaged to Brian fathering her child 😂😂 .
Didn't really rate him that much and what he did at Parra wasn't great. When I think of Eels greats I think of the Thornett bros, Kenny, Sterling, Price, O'Reilly, Ella, Cronin etc..
