I had actually forgotten about him, but I do remember him at the Tigers. I didn't know he was troubled off the field though.
"Troubled NRL player Daine Laurie is in jail for serious charges including wounding with intent to murder, reports www.dailytelegraph.com.au.
Laurie, 32, went to Coffs...
Neil Henry has said he would be interested in Sam Thaiday. I really probably could see the Titans the only logical choice for Sam, if he didn't want to uproot his family to a different location and wanted to play on. Still a long way to go 2018 though and Henry expressing interest doesn't mean...
I'm not sure some of these players mentioned you can say they have 'improved' (Slater, Uate), maybe you could say they have found form again but they were pretty good before they struggled through form and injury.
Daly Cherry-Evans I can see how you can say he has improved though. A couple...
I'm not sure it was Bennett though, it could be just the Courier Mail turning it into something it wasn't. Thaiday hasn't attacked the Broncos but has attacked the media suggesting it's a manufactured non-story.
I agree media has a lot to answer for. It's been turned into "Thaiday is...
He has two daughters too, so he may decide it's not worth the hassle moving and wrap it up.
Still it's happened before Des Hasler playing for West Magpies and Ricky Stuart for the Bulldogs eeked out another season with a different club before retiring.
Thaiday hasn't ruled it out playing for a different club today. He suggested he would wait and see how the body feels before making a decision. Definitely could still find a team for his services considering he hardly is on his last legs despite being dropped from Queensland.
Sam Thaiday has been told he will not be re-signed by the Broncos after next year's season. I wonder if Sam will look for another club or gracefully retire like Justin Hodges and Corey Parker. The other option is Superleague he will be 33 by the time of next year so he could possibly have...
I know but it will have repercussions for the World Cup. I heard today thoughts of who will take his spot from Kodi Nikorima to Benji Marshall. I really can't see the Kiwi's being competitive, they were already struggling with Johnson, Jesse Bromwich, and Kevin Proctor in the team.
Shaun Johnson out for the season, and will miss the World Cup. As if things were not hard enough for Kiwis already after the cocaine scandal........

Because Shannon Boyd was out of form, he has publicly stated this himself.

Andrew Fifita is taking a hammering in the media for this story. The criticism is that he is not about the team and more about himself.
"The Daily Telegraph has reported today that Andrew Fifita wasn't happy with Laurie Daley's plan to start him from the bench for Origin III, forcing the coach...
I've been impressed the few times I've seen him play. Probably reminds me of a younger and healthy Anthony Watmough. I would have suggested it would have been harder for him to get a crack at NSW because the Blues have so much depth at second row. But because of the implosion this year there...
Wow. Just only couple weeks ago he was compared to Arthur Beetson, he was floated that his price tag was a million dollars a year on the open market. How things have changed in such a small amount of time.

I prefer to think of it in positions and Cameron Smith is truly the best hooker ever to play the game. No question. I also think the depth at Hooker is not amazing compared to other positions and Smith is well and truly in front of his competition ( Steve Walters, Benny Elias, Noel Kelly)...
Ricky Stuart is starting to let the media get to him............
"His side had just pulled out a season-saving golden point victory over St George Illawarra -but volatile Canberra coach Ricky Stuart wasn’t about to let his good mood get in the way of settling an old score.

Big play from the Coal Train to pull out the victory!!!! Actually Dave Taylor has only played four games for the Raiders this year due to injury and illness. Good to see him have a good game.
Brett Morris in his hey day at the Dragons was the best winger in the comp. The 'not that good' tag I think is a bit lame. He is slowing down quite considerably though, I think the problems at the Dogs at the moment has been a bit a of factor in his form dropping. Still to be retiring at 30 is...
Six of the last seven games for the Dragons are teams that are currently out of the top eight. There is still time for them for a good strong run into the finals. But a top four spot is probably out of the question.
I'm warning the media don't take the bait. It just encourages him.
"There's a lot of talk about the future of the NSW Blues and the best way for the side to move forward for 2018.
It's likely that Laurie Daley won't be coaching NSW next year, and several big names have already been thrown...
