To my knowledge Bird played most of his juniors at 5/8. When I first heard of him, he was playing 5/8 for one our junior rep teams and there were some big wraps on him. He also played 5/8 for most of his rookie season and played very well there too. I do agree that he is over weight to play 5/8 now.http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/be...a/news-story/1d9226c4d3e2b28f99f1c1eb068c9a14
Now I'm not one to put S**t on players that have left the Mighty Dragons, however, I will always laugh at Dugan getting hurt for the Sharks and not playing.
Now Bird.
It's quite obvious he is carrying extra weight this year, now I'm not sure why master coach Bennett thinks Bird is a half of any description, but when he turns up looking, conservatively, 10 kg over is normal playing weight you kinda have to admit there may be a problem.
I always laugh at Dugan getting hurt for Cronulla and not playing for them too. I told the Cronulla fans on their forum to get used to Dugan being injured and then lol after it.
