Great servant to the game (and he bought me a pint in 2008)....

[Oxford]

I thought he didn't have that same quality about him but I saw him in games where the team struggled!

 

Excellent center and team player!

Best Aussie import to the UK in Superleague times definitely.  He was fantastic for Saints.  Manly will miss him for sure.

Good old "Killer"

Is it true that when he left Saints and the UK, he left he "Man of Steel" Trophy in the house Saints provided him?

Great player, ordinary bloke.

I assume now he's retired, he'll be allowed out of Shontayne Hape's pocket?

Top top player Jeff.

Not sure that makes him an ordinary bloke, just someone who isn't bothered about individual plaudits.

 

Worth a read - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/league-enigma-lyon-has-regrets/story-e6frfgff-1111116815549 Interesting bloke with some strange decisions but he seems to be comfortable with them; who are we to argue? Brilliant player too, best import I've seen in Super League ignoring John's 3 games for Wire.

 

I meant it based on how he left the Parramatta Club and handled breaking the contract he had signed with them.
