Lyon Requests Release

CHAMPION centre Jamie Lyon wants out from the Manly Sea Eagles.

The Telegraph can reveal Lyon has agreed in principle to a four-year deal with the Gold Coast Titans.

He verbally agreed to the $2 million deal yesterday.

Lyon is due to meet Manly management today to seek an immediate release from the final year of his contract at Brookvale.

A Gold Coast source told the Daily Telegraph: “Jamie has agreed – he just needs the release from Manly.

If Lyon is allowed to go, it will ease massive salary cap pressure at the club.

Update: Lyon will remain at Manly for 2013.

  • Wow, I thought he would stay at Manly til he retired. Their fans would be filthy. Lol

    • wait......your actually surprised that he has dogged another club?

  • duplicate blog
  • Let's hope he handles things better this time round.

    Or not - who cares?

  • he didn't- he got the deal and is now letting manly know
  • ? Willie to join Esi at manly
    • No real problem if he does. He would actually be doing us a favour as he & Ben Roberts I think r the only 2 high profile players off contract end 2013. If he walks now, it would allow RS to recruit a quality replacement, potentially a quality Forward or Dummy Half, as we have a lot of depth in the 3/4 line.

  • Loving this post on the Silvertails forum....

     

    'can anyone else hear the Eels fans laughing at us?' - if not by now, you soon will boys...

  • I am surprised it has taken this long and I am surprised he didn't go to join Uncle Noel again.
