no
i dont have a fancy to support grubs that glass people
They certainly have. 3/4ths of forumites would have him back. Looks like I'm in the minority. There you go.....Looks like the people have spoken.
Yeah but if we're going to be sh!t for the next couple of years in any event because we can't spend our cap - I'd rather be sh!t without bird. I'd take the spoon without Bird over finishing 10th with Bird.Dommie, I am happy with the clubs decision too.
But most of the other "grub" clubs in the NRL were happy too, very happy and united behind the Sharks decision until it came time for them to have to face similiar music.
Then it was a case of ummm, arhhhhhhh, butttt, we will offer supervision and counselling to get so and so through this.. blah blah blah.
That is my point.
And it is the usual story, nice guys finish last.
Cheers

Geez Drakken, I can understand people wanting Bird back but to feel sorry for him has got to be a stretch. There's 1 bloke to blame for this mess and it's the bloke who had the glass in his hand, the bloke who tried to blame his mate, and the bloke who refused to talk to the club.The club has broken my heart. I wish they would take him back but would they? Would he want to come back after being treated so poorly by the club, the fans and the media? If they did what Melbourne and Manly did with their players then it would've been all forgotten about after a few weeks. I only hope I can find reasons to come back and support the club I supported for so long.

Ohh yep I've done plenty wrong, but I've also had to take my share of responsibility for my actions.Have you ever done something stupid before giving it thought? There are consequences for all our actions but I am positive he is regretting what happened. Doesn't anyone think he and Milligan should've been given support and offered counselling rather than just throwing him to the wolves?

Putting aside what happened to Milligan, do you think Bird (and manager) treated the club with contempt? I do. How could the club offer him support and counselling if he refused to even speak with them?
I think the club has tried to pander to the vocal PC brigade too often and I've been critical of the club over a few things, but I don't think they could have done much different with the bird thing at the time. Bird did not let the club rally around him imo, but I guess we just agree to disagree on this one.I don't know mate, like I said he made some stupid decisions and received poor advice. Who knows what really happened but I am sure he knows he went about it all wrong. I just think the club could have done more for their star player. Why he didn't want to talk with the club when Stuart was supposed to be a mate of his I really don't know. When it happened at Melbourne and Manly the clubs went straight into damage control and lock down. The officials, players and fans rallied behind their star players, but not in this case, not at Cronulla. Why??
geez, you guys still haven't gotten over bird. get over it, hes a tool and only had one decent season with us.
I don't think the Sharks ever got over it. Call him what you will but do you realize the sort of influence this guy had on the field? Think how Parra would go without Jarryd Hayne.
