Clean swap
I’d be for it.At his best Bird is a gamebreaker

Bird has been out of the game for a long time with injuries however if it was a straight swap with both teams covering the same salary they are now I think this is worth a shot.

Plus Bird only has 1 year left on big money compared to Mbye...

Man,Ivan and co signed some wild contracts
 
I just saw Madge up here on the North Coast on holiday with his fam , he was nice enough to stop for a selfie and a few words , he is ever so happy with Tamou signing .My missus said to him tell Benji to give it up and he said the bloke wants to keep playing and I respect his decision
 
Can I just say if Cam plays on and we somehow keep Grant and from there do sign Suaalii.... we’ll potentially have 2 of the biggest prospects in the NRL setting us up for future success building the team around those two players could be devastating for the opposition
 
Mad let’s sign suaalii a young kid who has only ever played Harold mats who was twice as big as everyone and never proven himself at any level wants a get out clause every year of his contract no thanks

So you have seen the contract he wants or are you sprouting what you read in DT which is the the Souths official mouthpiece?

Very good point, Momo. The media has their fingerprints all over this and may yet have *some* influence on the outcome along the line... Souths are relying on seriously compromised vested interests from outside the club that could very well cause it to implode when Wayne sails off into the sunset!

I am sure i read somewhere that Birds injury problems stem from a rare form of arthritis,if that is the case he wont be coming good as it was supposed to be very difficult to treat

I think I read that as well. I'd probably still do the swap... with Bird only contracted for next year, it's a win for sure.

It would depend who else we sign, right now Mbye is our best fullback and is a first grade standard player in several positions.

$1M for a centre with ongoing injury issues with arthritis and a chest bone problem coming off an ACL sounds desperate to get rid of Mbye.

Mbye was good for 14/15 games he played last year. He always deserved a spot in the team and we might have done better with Doueihi at 5/8 and Mbye at fullback. Madge gave Doueihi a good run to develop and take ownership of fullback and we were also short on centres and had too many (almost first grade) 5/8s.

Mason Lino could excell with a consistent starting spot.

I'm not sure why the Knights didn't try to turn him into a hooker. It would have disrupted the team less than using Kurt Mann and he is their best goal kicker.
