Worst kept secret EVER!
I think too many people have put Lyon on a pedestal,yes he is a great player but not as great as some are making out.
Last time round he was playing with Vinnie Anderson as his inside 2nd row,he was often put into situations by Anderson that left him one on one with a defender.....any good centre should do well one on one.
Not knocking Lyon but the love affair the second time round isn't usually as good as the first.
Also,people are automatically assuming he will play at 3....what about Gidley? What about the fact since his return home he has played SO?
Variables people,variables

If he's only coming here in 2010, I'd expect Gidley to be passing him as they fly between countries.
I'm not Jesus Christ, I've come to accept that now.

Isn't Gidley only on a one year contract? So, is likely to retire at the end of this season.
Lyon didn't play SO. They wanted him in the 'training squad', but in true Jamie Lyon fashion, he told them he'd rather stay at home with his wife and kids. The Aussie press didn't really get that one as far as i remember.
