Every forum has a sacred cow and a scapegoat.

Beale has been scapegoat so far this season. So Bird is the sacred cow.... Not sure. He has talent, is played out of position and is on the wrong side of the field to get any ball. He is doing OK in a ridiculous structure. Not quite sacred cow status in my book.

Bird is being asked to do things he shouldn't be doing (kicking). We need to be careful with him. Play him as a running 5/8 or a centre. Don't have him covering your halfbacks terrible kicking game.

 

[bad boy bubby]

The kid can play he's not in the right position

 

[Surely]

He went well tonight

He's going to rip apart a few teams with a little bit more experience

 

[island pro]

I think he is great. A 5/8? nope.

Is Murphy that bad?

 

[Surely]

Give him time he will be a very good 5/8 , wasted in the centres the way we play

Murphy would have trouble talking to his parents let alone a football team. We need his kicking game desperately though

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Almost as good as Friz.

 

[Bastard Squad]

Well he'd be better at centre or 2nd row, but he's the best we got at the moment.

 

[millersnose]

Moo

A duck even thinks feathers would work in SOO

 

[PHaTMaN]

Whilst probably not his best position, I reckon bird would be an ok 5/8 with a more able/creative halfback. Everything we do is so slow, and it starts from the comps slowest halfback.

 

[carcharias]

Interesting see him and Maloney have that little race

I thought he was gonna catch him.

Grandpa Jeff was the main chaser wasn't he?

Yep
He pulled up I thought
He could have got to him ...maybe not stop the try but at least had a crack at the ball.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Would have been interesting had they gone to the video ref on the try. Back on topic.... Don't think Bird should be judged too harshly based on playing out of position and outside Robbo. Needs quick/early service to be seen at his best. Think both Chad and possibly Maloney could be good for Bird in his preferred position of centre.

After yesterday we need Maloney, I think he would so much to our team. Give him $750000
