I think Thaiday's ongoing inclusion in the team will actually depend on how the team goes. If they are winning regularly, he'll be carried, if they are losing regularly, he may be one of the first out if he continues his decline.

Hey, it's a bit much to be calling it a hateful thing to voice a well reasoned opinion. It takes some courage to make a call and receive the consequences, most of the people here forecasting a fall from grace for Thaiday also have great respect for his many and important efforts.

Is this for the Titans trial?

You may well be correct but Thaiday has always been a second rower covering prop. Sure he may have covered other positions in the past but he has never seemed to me at least, be a genuine out and out front rower. Taga on the other hand did become one although he was a different player years ago. I think it was just plain luck that saw him signed, depth and experience on a budget. I don't think WB ever intended to sign him prior to December last year but now that he did he looks like a perfect candidate to replace Lodge or Sims when required, similarly to his role last year at the Sharks.

As much as I love Sammy if he's not making as much of a impact as the younger guys coming though are he shouldn't automatically deserve a spot.
Like Bennett has said he's got to put the best players on the park because the broncos need to win a premiership.
Being such a club man I'm sure Sammy with all of his experience would understand that better then most. Towards the back of last season he was struggling to make 100 meters

Agree, it's not a hate thing. With Moga it was a hate thing. With Thaiday it's a disappointed thing.

I find it very strange that Peter Wallace at halfback with the side we have got now... doesn't seem so bad

I’m not sure, he’s still in the broncos system but it’s as if he has fell right down the pecking order

We'd be stupid to not at least enquire about Nathan Cleary, you never know, maybe he wants to be coached by Wayne Bennett. He's currently under contract for 2019, but as we all know, contracts mean nothing.

Jacks isn’t the worst choice.
failing that the two young halfbacks we have on the books, Boyd and Paix. let’s hope their form this year pushes them to be considered in 2019. They are 18 this year I believe and if they find their way into ISC sometime this year it will be interesting come 2019. They might do a Cleary he was only 18.
I think nikorima will a job no doubt he has the skills but I’m not sure he will do THE job long term. just don’t believe he will be our halfback in 2-3 years time

I'd like to think that if Paix or Boyd kill it in the lower grades this year that one of them would get a crack.

I've heard the answer from an ex player and all is not as it seems, in more ways then one...
