Inside phone call flurry around shock late omission as ‘optimistic’ coach gives update on star
on Monday night, Lyon said it was a “delicate situation”, but assured Saints supporters Membrey was receiving “really good ongoing care” and that the club was “really optimistic” the player would be “in good shape again in the near future”.Lyon then explained the chain of events upon hearing of Membrey’s unavailability to play.
“Then it was ‘we’ll bring in Caminiti outside the 26, we need special consideration’ – and then you’re flagging AFL, Giants – we went that path. In hindsight, maybe we would have played Howard, Cordy forward just to be able to contain all information and protect the day, our players. But because we didn’t do that, once there’s an oil spill, media release, communique.
“One player said today ‘it’s just a bit confusing just trying to figure it out’, but that was the situation we’re in. So unique, no rule book, but just try and be as honest and get the ability to reset. Lyon said he sensed days before the game his playing group wasn’t as relaxed as they usually are, adding he’d done a lot of self-reflection since Saturday’s loss.
