It appears that there may be a few hurdles to navigate before this is done and dusted.
From what Pom said today it appears that some of our coaching staff are still to be convinced that this is the right signing for us.
I’m also 50:50 on this one. Not sure it improves our roster if our man leaves for Manly.
My preference would be a subsidised Woods plus Josh as a direct swap for Curtis Sironen.

With the tragic events of today, I doubt Manly will be releasing any forwards.

what happened today?

One of Manly's players collapsed at training and later died.

I see quite a few Broncos supporters claiming he isn’t that good and that he’s a bit lazy in defense, if true I hope madge can turn that around

A bit like Josh Aloiai's effort on Regan Cambell Gillard
That effort was embarrassing
And after that
Manly is welcome to him
If Manly can't spare a forward
They might need to release a back that we could use
 
We need to jump on JO ASAP before its to late... People were concerned about his play this year need to remember Covid would not have help and also his coach was Seibold.. Not many at all played well under him and he was a SOO player the year before. He would be a MASSIVE upgrade on JA for me.

It’s out of our hands if Brisbane don’t want to release him.

I understand that but if we lose him because we want Broncos to contribute 25-50k more that they want to is madness to me.. Hard for us to attract quality players and he is one

This situation reeks of The Pom or some other insider coming on and saying “We had him. He agreed to sign, but the Broncos were just not willing to meet our price for what they had to pay”. You know it’s coming.

It's posturing to reduce the contribution for his new contract.

Yep, Walters says he is still in his 2021 plans.

I wouldn’t worry too much, Kev also said the below last month.

“Despite reports the Broncos were looking to offload his rich salary, Jack Bird remains in new coach Kevin Walters' plans for 2021.”
