Jack Bird

[Inferno]

I'm not worried, we'll get him back in 2 years time with the Donkeys picking up 1/3 of his freight.

He won't last up there.

I think it was peter Wallace

I think you're right. How could I forget Wallace..

 

[Griffoshark66]

That whole interview was riddled with contradiction and inconsistency. Much like his form this year. He really just needs to come out and say I did it for the money.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Wonder if his good mate Duges was in his ear saying "too good an offer to refuse Jack......you da'man"......before taking his spot at the premiers.

Meh, typical journo flogging the proverbial to whip up any semi-senational implication he can. Bird never said a negative word about the club or anybody involved with the club, including Flanno. Probably naive, but even then there's no context to judge that against.

He has never said anything bad or negative, but publicly broadcasting that your new coach will make you a better person and a better footballer is a sly stab at your current coach.
The same current coach that welcomed him with open arms when he ran from the Dragons after they didn't want to pay him.
The same coach that gave him a first grade debut, got him an Origin debut, got him a Premiership.

The same coach that made him a footballer that was able to sign a contract worth 1.2 Million Dollars a year.
I don't be-grudge him leaving, I respect athletes as they have a very short career without many prospects outside of the game after it.
But he just needs to keep it quiet and let his football do the talking, because IMO, he is very lucky to be playing Origin this year.

Indirectly he did.

Don't think Flange would be too worried about Jacks comments. If it was coming from someone who is intelligent he may have been offended.

The Maloney contact 'stories' are the perfect example of this...he hasn't even hinted that he's unhappy or wants a release, but they twist and embellish and come up with their own version of the truth. Fake news.

either fake news or disruptive fake news, media people with not just personal agendas but acting as invisible stakeholders and lobbyists for other clubs,. Konspiracy Theoree 101.

As for Creeping Jesus and his coaching supposive coaching abilities, we all know he enjoyed his greatest successes with virtually a State full of players to recruit from, when Brisbane was a one state football team. I think Bennett's greatest challenge came at Newcastle where the results weren't exactly spectacular and he did a bunk on them in the end to return to the comfort zone of Brisbane.

 

[spirit of league]

Indirectly he did.

That's one interpretation and why we would really need the context to know for sure. Bird may very well be as bright as your average NRL player, but I'd put more faith in that than a typical NRL journo's integrity

 

[sharknows]

I have a feeling Bird is pissing his career down the drain going to the Broncos. He won't have anything near the support group & minders he has here....hope he enjoys the money because I think that's all he will enjoy.

The amount of salt in this thread rivals the dead sea.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

He'll enjoy the party life up in brissy. His brother Greg bird might give him some tips

 

[snout]

wtf?

 

[Madsharkie]

Good on him. Can't knock the bloke for sorting out his future. GF champion as a Shark, we'll all always have that great memory. Good luck in Brisbane, just don't go too well for those merkins!

I've got no problem with him leaving, considering we've replaced him with an even better footballer in Dugan. While he plays with the Sharks though I'd like him to shut his dopey sounding mouth. It's obvious to me he's got a bit of an inflated ego, which should be curtailed till the off season.

1 of the big attractions of Brisbane, as you'd witness, he gets to take advantage of the hero worshiping.

 

[Quigs]

and even better cover ups.
