Wow. Its hard to look past the outrageuos natural talent that Lyon had, he had more ability to do something unbelievable out of nothing.

When you sit back and look for consistant contribution, though, that's when gidders claws it back.

Lyon is on a pedelstall and tbh, in the past, I've struggled to decide who I'd rather have from his time at Saints, him or Iro. Now I've got Gidders as well - jeez we're spoilt.

Can we add Iro to the vote, please ski??

If a mod will do the honours

Gidley for now, but I'd want Lyon in the future when Gidley retires.

I was going to abstain, though on second thoughts, Lyon's goal kicking sees him get the nod off me.

I'd like to have seen Gidley at the age of 23 to truly compare the two.

Both outstanding players.

Gidley is fantastic but Lyon is faster, scored more trys, could score from long range from nothing, provided every bit as good a service to his winger, could kick goals, better tactical kicking in regular play and every bit a good a defender as Gidley.

We have been spoilt.

Could we not have Gidley on the right and Lyon on the left ?

i suggested this when gidley arrived, the timing is a little late now, and the other teams would take their ball home anyway

its a dead heat so far

Overall I'd have to go for Lyon based on his goal-kicking ability, otherwise they are dead level.

Its the age thing. They are both fantastic players and would be first on the team sheet for every game but if i had to choose it would be Lyon cos hes the younger.
