Greg Bird *Discussion*

[innsaneink]

I've got a question, is his wife the sheila that he glassed a few years back?

No, that woman returned to the USA shortly after he was found 'not guilty', she couldn't get out of OZ quick enough**, is his new bride related to the Knights player Robbie Rochow**?
Yeah his sis apparently I saw same question asked elsewhere

Thank you Ink…I didn't think it was that hard to understand...

What you're saying about the journos has no relevance to people getting attacked for only reporting what they read. Why should they been insulted for only repeating what they had heard?

Oh goodness….'attacked' and 'insulted'? Wow, there really are some precious little flowers out there. Sad really.

Tell me about it. Just like the precious little flower whinging about animal cruelty in this thread, who if it wasn't the biggest racing day of the yr, probably wouldn't have said a word cos he wouldn't have had an audience.

Bird's official Penalty…

The Board of the Gold Coast Titans has approved sanctions to be imposed on Greg Bird and James Roberts as a result of significant brand and reputational damage suffered by the club arising from recent incidents of unacceptable public behaviour by both players.
>
In both cases the players breached the Titans Code of Conduct and the NRL Code of Conduct which they are legally bound to comply with at all times under the terms of their NRL playing contracts.
>
Titans Chief Executive Officer, Graham Annesley said today, “Whilst the circumstances of these incidents are serious enough alone to warrant club imposed sanctions, the details pale into insignificance compared to the damage done to the club’s standing in the community at a time when the Board and management are doing everything possible to rebuild the Titans brand and ensure the long term sustainability of the club.
>
“All players need to accept personal responsibility for their actions and recognise that incidents of this nature not only damage the reputation and commercial prospects of the club, but also bring the image of the NRL and the game of Rugby League into substantial disrepute”, Annesley added.
>
The Titans Disciplinary Committee gave both players the opportunity to explain their actions and whilst Greg and James expressed remorse, the committee formed the strong view that the damage inflicted on the club and the game leaves no alternative but to send a clear message that any reoccurrence may place the continuation of their contracts with the club in jeopardy.
>
The Board has approved the following sanctions:
Greg Bird
• A fine of $15,000 To be deducted from his 2015 salary
• Ineligibility for selection as team captain effective immediately
• Formal notice that any further breaches of the NRL Code of Conduct during the remaining term of his contract may be viewed as grounds for termination by the club
>
James Roberts
• A fine of $3,000 To be deducted from his 2015 salary
• An independent assessment to determine any required rehabilitation programs
• Formal notice that any further breaches of the NRL Code of Conduct during the remaining term of his contract may be viewed as grounds for termination by the club

Looks like the Titans are starting to get serious about the behaviour of some of their NRL players…

Hope other clubs follow suit.....

 

[foreveratiger]

Maybe he needs one of these :laughing:

 

[pHyR3]

if a club fines players 15k out of their salary, does that mean it takes 15k off the salary cap?

 

[TrueTiger]

pHyR3, I don't think so,it is a personal infringement and should only affect his own salary,but the way the cap works,who knows…

 

[Flippedy]

Maybe he needs one of these :laughing:

Is that you FT? :laughing:

[sheer64]

He was a bit grubby today as well. Had a few cheap shots on Teddy.

 

[steve-o]

I agree he was grubby today. I thought the look he gave teddy when he scored his try was poor sportsmanship too

 

[Fade_To_Black]

Well he has the domestic abuse bit covered. Hasn't been caught weeing next to a cop car or been accused of being a coke mover or user. has been outed as a salary-cap fraud though so it is a dead heat ATM between Bird and Inglis. Problem is one of them is being touted as an Immortal. Go figure.

 

[Demps]

Yeah, defo think he was a grub.
Defo playing up.
Didn't like some of his efforts.

 

[southerntiger]

Inglis was the difference. Without GI we win. The rest of the noise is just sour grapes.

But you can't say that Demps, it not PC enough. He is fantastic ie his 'intrgrity' etc that has been spouted this week in the media. Trent Barrett belting this dog in Origin and exposing his glass jaw was a highlight. Should be more of it.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Great player but anyone who hits a woman is scum.

Please ! Their pack matched us but Reynolds and Inglis put them well and truly above us.
