Probably will for about 5-6 games, then fall back into old habits. Repeat process.

I'd be happy with 5-6 games rather than his once a month routine.

Oh, no doubt we will see a reaction ! Years ago there was a jolly joker called Jackson whose outward demeanour hid a conflicted soul. Thaiday is a similar guy but I don't think it's for the same reasons as Jacko. Thaiday is a proud man underneath the bluster and he is undoubtedly a determined guy too but his free spirit needs to be constantly challenged otherwise complacency quickly takes over again. This kick in the nuts will shake him up, you might not see it outwardly but I reckon he'll be feeling the end uncomfortably near. I think he will turn up in Canberra ready to show the world he's angry and ready to say ' **** going quietly into that good night '....

I'd be happy to see a repeat performance from a couple of years ago when he made JWH his bitch in that game against the Roosters.
He was challenged to perform in that game and answered in spades .....

**** yes, that was a performance for the ages. JWH was being touted as one of the best but out of nowhere Thaiday absolutely produced. Impeccable timing with his fierce contacts, bloody brilliant. I too think Thaiday is a lazy **** but if push came to shove and he had his gameface on, well there'd be few more powerful and inspiring. That's also the Thaiday quandary, how to get his best time and time again. That's why a person like Locky or Smith are regarded so highly, because every performance was either good or great but never poor. Thaiday, for all his potential does not have the burning desire that hallmarks these future immortals.

Great players have their fair share of shockers, Lockyer is no exception, for example his debut for Australia in 1998. What makes him or others like him truly great is how they respond and move on and he did with arguably one of his best performances in his career against the North Sydney Bears.

Benjis record against Raiders is impressive:
"The New Zealand international boasts 16 wins from 17 matches against the Raiders and he has been a part of history in the process. Marshall helped his former club St George Illawarra break a 14-year hoodoo at GIO Stadium in 2014, putting on a clinic to secure the Dragons' first victory at the venue since the year 2000."

Moose will be fine. Gillo and Boyd (possible injury) certainly need the weekend off.
