Jack Bird

I'd say Bird has not been offered 1m dollars by any club. At this stage in his career he is probable worth between 600k and 700k. Lose Widdop and Lafai and you have the coin necessary. Problem is, how much money is left in the cap after re-signing/upgrading our squad.

To get bird we may have to cut deep into the list of players still unsigned. Send Millward on a holiday to mother England and sign Bird while he is away.

Jack Bird deal would be a similar deal to Hunt 5 years for $5m - money well spent and 26 yo when his contract is up.. I'm telling u we are in there for him

Jack bird has yet to sign w Sharks .. His mgt is waiting for 2 clubs to give them their final level of interest - Knights and Dragons ( I don't care what Millward is saying Dragons are in there)

Herein lies the biggest issue.
Birds mgmt is waiting (speculated) for both Knights and Dragons and of course Sharks.
So, its $$$ not club that's his focus.
Gone are the days of playing for prestige and history and you can't blame these youngsters either, football is only short term, they need to secure their futures beyond the footy

To play fullback or five-eighth - he has stated this.
To increase his salary.
To re-join his friends at the Dragons.
To wear the big red V again.

Dugan is Bird's best mate. Signing Bird would probably cost us any chance of retaining Dugan. What a cruel twist of irony.

Why didn't we just offer Bird the guaranteed first grade spot he was after?

The Sharks/Flanagan did and he decided to leave us...

Do you honestly think anyone really gives a toss about the Red V these days? It has lost it's pull.
Shame really.
Yes it is a shame.
Unfortunately Doust & management team have seen to that.
We are the already gone broke laughing stock of the NRL.
Thank the corrupt Board & the Doust job for Boys, for our current state.
Until they're terminated nothing will change.

No please do it quietly Mills as we don't want to disturb all the soothsayers who have got every man and his dog coming to us.
They even had Mann at the GCT and today they signed Copley.
They soothsayers need as much peace and quiet as they can get, to see if they can get 1 prediction right so as I said no lol'ing please.

If Widdop and say Lafai moved on, surely that is Birds salary.
If Dugan accepts the Dragons offer surely that is the end of the matter.
The salary cap is going up significantly in 2018 however, the exact number is not yet known.
