Jack Bird

[Spot On]

Seriously who the f**k is in charge of Nutrition at the Broncos?.. Sam Thaiday ? I don't think has ever been a more obese side...

Bennett controls everything at the Broncs butvisnt responsible for anything that turns to shit.

I think Jack Bird broke a mirror walking out of the office signing that Broncos contract. Seriously it's awful he has now endured another season ending injury. I doubt he will continue with the Broncos after this year, he was already shopping himself around but no club was willing to match the price figure. It will be interesting what becomes of him, but there will be no redeeming himself in a Broncos jersey and will end a very disappointing chapter in his career.

Season over: Scans confirm another ACL tear for Jack Bird​

​

Brisbane’s Jack Bird has suffered another injury setback two days before he was set to begin life as the NRL club’s new fullback.

Bird was gutted as he limped off the training paddock on Wednesday after hurting the same knee that was operated on following an ACL tear last year.

MRI scans later that afternoon confirmed the 24-year-old had suffered another ACL tear with the club saying surgery was “the most likely option”.

IMO his career is over. He may come back again - but his body isn't up to it.

Another great signing from the master coach.

A couple days out from the season opener, that would hurt.

Bloke just can’t string it together. Best of luck.

Sucks for him, would be devastating. I saw Cameron King did another major injury also, some guys just gave zero luck with injuries.

Broncos have said they will provide him with everything he needs.

Bit like Sam McKendry.

Chase Stanley was another.

EDIT: It was Kyle Stanley who had all the injuries.

Gee there’s some blokes who are just cursed with injury... Bird, Cameron King etc...

At 24 you’d think Bird still had more footy in front of him than behind.. I hope he does. Some guys can come back, some guys can’t.

Worst run I ever knew of was Brett Papworth for Roosters in the late 80’s. He copped everything from broken jaw, busted shoulder, knee injuries.... in 4 seasons he played 7 games before retiring.

Kyle Stanley I think was a better prospect and hit harder with injuries but yeah poor old Sammy Mack.

I think his rheumatoid arthritis will significantly shorten his career. No idea if it relates to this injury but im sure it impacts his ability to train and stay at peak fitness

Almost. It was Kyle Stanley who was made of glass, held together by tissue paper.

Jack Bird - poor bloke. Hope he is able to get back on the field, you never like to see such nasty injuries(that goes for Cameron King, another who walked under a ladder).

Shit, and I thought David Woods was unlucky.

Apparently we won't have too. I read on another forum that he has another year left after this year that is an option in his favor. If Bird is intent on playing on then he most certainly would exercise it. Whether he want's a change of scenery or not he doesn't really have that luxury in being too fussy now.

Usually I'm all for a good chuckle at the Broncos expense, but this one is pretty sad. Hopefully he can come back from this. On the positive he at least made some great coin & has a premiership. Kyle Stanley or Greg Waddel would have loved to have had the chance to get what Jack has already achieved.

Chin up Broncos fans. You still have Darius.

Poor old Greg Waddel. I knew there was a Penrith kid who had the worst luck.

Poor merkin could play too. Best back I've seen coming through since Freddy.

David woods at parra would have been close if not worse , was an absolute gun and we needed him on the field In the 90s.
