He should already be there... I'd certainly have him over Kodi.
He's been performing like this for a while at the Jets.

Yeah I don't think I could argue with giving Parcell a crack at bench hooker, he seems the goods.

Was thinking about this the other day. Has there ever been a bigger potential/quality gap between a player and his 'career-ender' than JYY and Dylan fucking Farrell? I guess you could throw Locky v Kneale in there, but he was finishing up anyway.

Yeah pretty spot on, and even though I know it's unfair to blame Farrell it just gives me yet another reason to hate souths. Long live the human highlights reel that is JYY

I have it on good authority that Thaiday will not be a bronco next year. We are also chasing a NZ backrower to replace him.

As in an NZ Warrior? Or NZ in the way that SBW is a kiwi?

Who cares if he does though. He has shown quite a few times over the years that once he gets a new contract he goes back to being lazy.

Well Paul White gave Thaiday the kiss of death the other day.
Paul denied the rumors about him moving on to the Titans and said that he would like to see Thaiday finish his time at the Broncos.
So I guess that means he is almost certain to get the chop now.
Bennett is pretty tight with the dollars (not that its necessarily a bad thing) and I think he sees Thaiday asking too much and offering too little. I'd say that was the same reason Hannant was also let go .............. and we all know Barba was on crazy dollars.

I don't think Wayne had much say in the Hannant deal. Ben was already on the outer before Wayne got to the club and by the time he arrived, Hannant was already gone.
I also don't buy into this notion that Sam only plays well when he's playing for a contract. That's a pretty big accusation to begin with but completely dismisses any of the good games he's had from 2012-14 which is plenty, the problem is he hasn't strung those good games together to really call it a run. For a statement like that to hold weight, his best years would had to have been 2011, 2009 & 2007 when he re-signed which they weren't.

I don't think it's disrespectful to say Sam can and has been lazy at times for us.
There have been plenty of times where he has made very few hitups and simply made tackles, not to mention he seems to play with a lot more enthusiasm for Qld than he does for Brisbane - probably because there's a greater chance of him being dropped for Qld than there is for Brisbane, up until now at least.
Depending on his form between now and the end of the year and the money he's chasing, I'd consider offering him a two year deal but as a benchie. If he's not happy with that, the Titans are welcome to him and so long thanks for the memories Sam.
