Thaiday one of the most likeable NRL identities of all time - what a legend

[@Bloodrocuted666]

Just FYI Kempy Dan Baker lives in Bali with his missus these days. Source: His niece is my misso. Great episode! Go Broncos!

[@Jay-ux5eo]

Sam Thaiday & Nate Myles were the best 2nd rower pairing QLD ever had.

[@w0lfm4n43]

That's a bit harsh on larson, axe, lindner, tallis, gillett (n then injury shorted his career.. he would still been in qld team for a while if he not injured).. (Just to check.. by pairing.. do you mean on field at SAME time... or just 2 second rowers?)

[@bpswank429]

@@w0lfm4n43 wtf do you think pairing means ? Smh

[@quincy3719]

My all time favourite player thank u soo much kempy for this

[@jackdaley5884]

Fantastic poddy Kempy! Sammy was one of my fav players growing up and he is still one of my fav players to this day. The most down to earth ex player I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet a few years ago at a broncos game. Absolute legend! Plus I love how he remembers everyone’s full name during his whole journey!! That’s respect 🙌

[@hellagood67]

Love ya Sammy. My favourite memory is Sam packing into the opposition scrum. I think it was against the Dogs. (Don’t remember the opposition actually….don’t care either really). Broncos supporter for life 💪💪💪💪 17:10. 1:09:50 have never watched a replay of that GF. Hurts still.

The man that can do it all Sammy T 0:00

[@damosanchex]

I remember serving Sammy at a bottleo in Kawana with a bunch of his cousins, never sold so much in one sitting.

[@damosanchex]

No disrespect, this was like 2011 and he got every cousin he was with a drink of some sort. And I was like, can I see your ID? and he showed it. Mad lad.

[@rodneymatthews1891]

Great interview, i really enjoyed the watch.

[@Toohot619]

Great pod Kempy, love your work mate.

[@Jimbrew]

Awesome episode

[@flipderba3737]

How good!!

[@dazware4443]

Good yarn bala

[@scowy_sg2125]

I am so happy that slammin Sam pulled the beak up on his old man whistle. It’s been creeping in lately and no one has called him out. Did he become a dad and just wake up as an instant old man. What is doing !?

[@CoastalFishingNZ]

Hahaha great episode

[@TheBlockedContent_]

Kempy would 100% be one of the PlayStation boys in camp, just pounding Quake 2

[@NuriiG]

Baulko represent✊

[@kundanpanday1988]

Champion Queenslander 🎊🎉

[@deanbilton]

Havent heard from Third Man Thaiday in a while....

[@user-bs2oe8us6g]

Willie mason actually says ogre used to put deep heat on his head

[@EightsYT]

on your post about who wins dally m, your top comment needs to be relooked at, bloke is calling all warriors fans and anyone who thinks payne haas shouldn’t win dally m Autistic and making a mockery in your comments

[@locky466]

Where???

[@ethanwillis6970]

That's nothing to do with this podcast. Instead of complaining about unrelated things keep your comments relevant to the podcast here to thank Kemp for his hard work in providing this content.

[@samwisegamgee6941]

Kempy loves to promote the idea that QLD pick and stick but Thaiday said QLD gave lockyer the ultimatum that if he didn't win he would have been booted. Proves him wrong. QLD has the privilege of having some of the best players ever which made picking and sticking easy. It's easy as piss to pick slater, Thurston and the rest of their team they had. Doesnt take a genius.
