OFFICIAL Jack Bird #299

I just asked my cousins who are dragons fans if bird can still run… one responded “slowly” lol and the other “no”

Btw my cousins sponsor Zach Lomqx and are dragons fanatics so they would know
Now that's a player we should've signed, Zac Lomax

He’s closing in on 30, but his body is closing in on 40. He’s a year to year proposition from this point on.

I know this is minor, but once again Richo tells us members will hear from the club first only for it to be all over the media for a couple of days before a “members” communication.

Is it me or does this media release seem very short? It doesn't contain a lot of the usual stuff like quotes from the player etc.
 
2 years @ $400k is a reasonable roll of the dice for Bird … they got to sign someone and the list of available players is not a long one … I would prefer him as a forward , but considering Olam and AD concerns at least he provides some cover there
Turuva will likely play centre too based on the Montoya talk so he's likely to be 2nd row as a replacement for Bateman
 
Okay. So Camel. You have Adobe Carr and Kiraz on our wings. And Turuva our centre. Now I'm beginning to understand why fans buy membership.
 
When he’s not broken he’s a decent utility … but how often is he not broken?

I’m 50/50 on him
Eh Bird played 14 NRL games this year and last. Had an ankle injury this year and played 4 games in NSW Cup. He was available for the majority of the season. I think his injury issues are slightly overhyped. 18 from 24 games isn't a bad turn out.

He obviously has to manage some things with his body, but he seems to be able to get himself out onto the field for
the most part.
