Bird Contract

[Ghost of Popper]

Well, hopefully he'll win two premierships with the Sharks. This news is no good for the ol' ticker but, as they say, when one door closes another door opens.
How's young Rogers coming along?

Big chance Bird turns into Ben Barba 2.0 in Brisbane. Can't see him getting a precious spine position and there are some massive egos up there for him to compete with.

Don? Nah, he's rubbish!!

 

[carcharias]

Flano should show him how Bennett operates...and drop the ungrateful cock smoker to reserve grade or whatever hoseshit name it's called these days.

 

[shark dressed man]

Good luck to him. I'll be supporting him so long as he's wearing Sharks colours. Hope now that the contract is done he just rips in for the rest of the year.

 

[ghoti]

honestly stoked he went. We can build a much better squad without him, and all that squabbling about being bored in the centres etc will hopefully lead to someone who puts in and is excited about pulling on our jumper every week. Also can't wait to see him stink up the broncs! Felt bad when Newcastle were talking of pumping a mil into getting him...

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Reading the Club statement on Bird I reckon if Townsend doesn't seriously reduce his asking price he'll be out the door.

Can't see the Club making Chad the highest earner at the Club.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Be interested to see how he fits in up there.

Boyd is a better 1 and Milford arguably a better 6.

Is he going to play 7?

Will likely wind up in the centres. Just like Mundine did 20 years ago.

I think we all new this day was coming, remember he was leaving us before he even joined us from St George. In his whole time at the club there has been constant speculation about what position he wanted to play. Massive EGO matched by massive talent. Move on Jack your time here is done.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Doesn't have an adequate passing or kicking game to play in the halves.....cant see him anywhere but centre or running back-row/lock. Will be interesting to see how it pans out - particularly if it turns to shit and he's away from his family.

 

[Weaponhead]

He has talent with limited output. Hasn't scored a try in ages. Doesn't make the players around him better.

 

[Arnold]

Popper rogers failed and left. Playing park footy I think

Apparently lock but who the f**k knows?

I find it odd he doesn't want to make a statement. A thank you for what the club has done for me would be nice Jack.

 

[Eion]

I like the f**k you statement by the club and flanno in particular.

Unfortunately the 'we have the best structures, coaching staff' etc line is the best we've got against the TPA riddled likes of the Broncs. We jagged benny, Lewis, Ennis, jimjim through some very astute purchasing mixed with a couple of young guns coming off and old heads who like the joint.

I can cop bird going for coin at the Knights, but he gets to go to the Broncs for coin and opportunity.

But we'll never even know the f**king TPAs that have doubtless propped this deal up.

I blame Greenberg the festering useless turd.

 

[Generalzod]

Is there still a cooling off period

He's nursing his broken heart back together

 

[carcharias]

1 line break this year
Maloney makes one per game

Exactly. With that money comes huge expectations. Perhaps we get him back in 2 years on a subsidised rate.

 

[Generalzod]

Didnt even have the guts to talk to the media, but I bet he was always feeding the media information that he was always bored playing centre.

 

[Feej]

At least with him going to QLD he can play the "homesick" card when he doesn't get to play in the position he wants.
