Haven't seen a thread for this, but as most pundits are forecasting Jarrod as a role on the bench, we should discuss:
The lesson here is don't make outlandish statements and realise you don't know everything, no matter how much you think you do.
Let's get one thing straight, claiming that Wallace wouldn't start a game for Queensland in the middle of 2016 was not an "outlandish statement", in fact most people agreed that he would never play rep footy when he left us.
With that being said, he's been very good for the Titans, and I may be proven wrong in years to come, as will many people, including Wayne Bennett and the Broncos hierarchy who decided not to re-sign him before the Titans swooped.
Regardless, you aren't getting rid of me that easy.
Broncos wanted to re-sign him, just couldn't match the money the Titans were offering.
I for one thought that Wallace was a good chance of playing Origin at the time of your statement.
Right you are Danoz.
Here's the full context for those curious...

If I remember correctly (and I may not) it was one of the things that started my mancrush on you, our backing of Wallace.
We definitely were pushing his case in '15, especially after the GF performance.
