OFFICIAL Jack Bird #299

[jrtiger]

welcome, Birdy.

there's work to do mate.

 

[Suzie-Q]

Hey don't give away the secret about how good it is up here

On holidays up here for a couple of weeks. It's beautiful 😍

On topic, I'm pleased to see the Bird signing because it's a short contract, on reasonable money, and he should fill a gap. Not a hasbeen on a long contract on overs. Looks like the days of being bent over are gone 🤞

 

[Tiger Stripes]

How many of the games he played in was he 100% fit…50%?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And how many of the others were 100% fit?

 

[Donny Brasco]

whats the nearest maccas to the training ground?

 

[happy_tiger]

I saw one article Bird was called a SOO great

Seriously ......

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

At least he played in that arena. Most haven't.

 

[Buttface]

whats the nearest maccas to the training ground?

Won’t Bird want a chip shop?

 

[Donny Brasco]

Won’t Bird want a chip shop?

a few years ago, 'Star footy player Jack Bird eats so much McDonald's his teammates have given him a new nickname - 'Burgie'.'

I hope he doesn't eat as much these days, surely its not great for a professional athlete?

I'd hang on to Charlie... Handy depth player

Good point Ink and one I mentioned to a friend the other day. You want to be calling on guys like Staines and Montoya as your depth with 2 starting wingers ahead of them.

 

[hank37w]

I'd take 2013 Joel Reddy or 2014 keith Lulia or 2017 Idris or 2021 James Roberts over Faataape 🤣 anyday haha

Not sure what it is about him but I think Faataape has got something and could well be a very good player one day.

If you want to talk about the abilities various players had at different times in their playing careers, maybe we should talk about 2026 faataape.

I've been reluctant to comment on the Jack Bird signing because I haven't been sure what to make of it..

He's been injured and underdone for a long period of time. It hasn't clicked for him at the dragqueens.

The fact he's moving for less money indicates to me that he has something to prove.

If he hits the form of old, or 70%, he end's up a great signing.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

So you're pretty sure now?

 

[mtd#2]

So you're pretty sure now?

Did I say that

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

No you didn't. I just made it up.

Not great for anyone, and a regular takeaway shop burger has got to be better?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Their days are numbered.

 

[mtd#2]

Bird has said he looks forward to the challenge and that he will play a bigger role in the club than he has at any other club in the past. I think that's a very mature approach. And he's not coming for money

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Stef is leaving for less also. We need to put that in perspective.

 

[Tiger001]

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.

I heard that it was the player's people that released the info early.

 

[BalmainJnr]

I heard that it was the player's people that released the info early.

I’m sure Richo said he wouldn’t do deals where those involved didn’t maintain confidentiality?
