Lyon not coming back
Jamie Lyon will not return to Rugby League, according to an article in the Sydney Morning Herald today.
The Herald article quoted his manager as saying: "I think you can pretty much say it's over. He's given me no indication he has changed his mind."
"Jamie is adamant he's had enough. He's sick of football and he's sick of Sydney. They were the reasons he gave in the beginning and they are still his reasons. He's going to stick to his word."
Lyon text messaged the Parramatta team before and after the victory against the Broncos last weekend, but coach Brian Smith told the Herald that "means he cares about the people here and what they are doing, but not necessarily that he wants to do it himself".
Interest in Lyon's departure from the club has not died down. In the Sun Herald last week, it was reported that his uncle called a radio station to flatly deny that his walk-out had anything to do with the Parramatta club. That paper's Last Word column also claimed that Lyon's decision to quit, stemmed from the fact that his partner had a miscarriage.
