Biography
NSW-born (Sydney) Townsville junior (Brothers) made his first grade debut for the Broncos in 2003. It took Sam Thaiday, a big, mobile, bullocking style of prop, several seasons to cement a first grade position but in 2006 he regularly started games in the back row. That year he represented Queensland in three matches as an interchange player and following Brisbane’s grand final win against Melbourne (in which he played second row) Thaiday made his Test debut in Australia’s 20-15 win over NZ in Melbourne – again from the interchange bench. His only other Test appearance in Australia’s successful Tri-Nations campaign was in Australia’s 23-12 loss to Great Britain in Sydney.
