Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I'm happy Bird is staying. Thought he was useful when fit. Much better in defence than I expected.

If he is on the fringes of 1st grade, he's good depth. If he strikes form- even better.

Freshly married Jack Bird will remain at the Tigers next season. Bird was given permission to talk with rival clubs by the Tigers in August. However the utility has maintained he wanted to remain at the Tigers and finish his contract at the club which expires at the end of next year.

Bird had been mooted as part of a potential player swap with Manly forward Nathan Brown but that has not eventuated.

Bird, 30, played 17 games for the Tigers in his first season at the club this year having joined from St George Illawarra.

I am not shocked as he was less than useful this year,it is always harder to remove a dud than sign hin which is something we never seem to understand.

Agreed. He sucks.

No....while we cant predict the future this young fella has a wise head on his shoulders and i think he could.go far

Yeah, nah! Any one that has that slime bag as a manager we should steer clear of or get rid of. It’s just not worth it, he obviously is only using the club to get his players exposure. Then sends them to a ‘better’ club! Don't need the tea leaves to work that out!

He is a pounce that needs to pull his finger out.

And if he does pull his finger out he might make you look like a goose Tuck lol.

England international Owen Trout wants to come to NRL, is he any good? Might be worth a look at for us on the hunt for more forwards

if i was a present day player , i would sure as engage moses/the devil to conduct proceedings ,
The end of the day ,its up to the player
A cap takes a lot of juggling
Takes some time for an ego to occasionally live up to its pay packet

Bird is getting old , hope he go's out on a high
and doesn't dog it here

Playing for next contract in 26..with a new wife
Pressure is on

They asked Bird to move on about three quarters of the way through the season …yet there he is obviously unwanted anywhere else and back here next year to wander the NSW Cup on $400k…. How many times does that happen at this club when others clubs get players to move on at the drop of a hat …? Just another of the NRL mysteries ,,,

Keeping Bird we obviously couldn't get rid of him.

I don't know think it will take a miracle for his form to turn around and what was with the weight loss, it's normally the other way round.

common sense doesn’t fly here mate

Don't forget we had to pay a wooden spoon tax to get these guys on board originally.

Just saw a pic of Royce Hunt on Insta. He’s looking much leaner and I mean MUCH. Think he could be in for a big pre-season.

I jumped on his story to have a look and he is ripped!! Benji has lit a fire in him, hopefully continues over the xmas period

Okay but our spine is still worth 3+ million. With the amount we are paying them we should be a lot more competitive then what we are

The roster isn’t going to improve much over the next few years

Our spine has no halfback ATM [like the other top sides].
But we do have our fingers crossed!
