Now Lyon may return
Less than 24 hours after news was published that Lyon had decided not to return to the NRL, another news report claimed he may.
Asked about playing bush footy, Lyon told Barry Toohey at the Telegraph that: "Mate I am loving it - probably even a bit more than I thought I would. I love being back out here. The footy has been good and we have been winning a few games."
He was then asked if he would return to the NRL at any stage. "Maybe next year, I don't really know. I haven't really been watching too many games. But I still think I wouldn't mind giving it another go down there.
"Whether it is back at Parra or somewhere else I don't know. I'd have to get a full release [from the Eels] to play somewhere else. It all comes down to how we [the Panthers] go at the end of the year and how I'm feeling at the time. I haven't really talked about it with anyone yet."
