Bird Contract

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.

I'd suggest the media release was aimed at Chad as much as Bird.

Sad to see Bird go but I can't begrudge him, he's got a limited lifespan in the game, probably more limited than most.

Good luck young fella...thanks for the heroics of the grand final....it was Johnny Sattler-esque!

Disagree DS. I think it shows the club places more importance on retaining the train driver than the carriage.

This reeks of us losing Dylan Walker in 2015...

Wanted to leave and play 5/8 from the centres

First year in plays 5/8 and can't handle the role

Next year moves to centres and kills it

I don't actually care that Bird is going.

I recognise him as a quality footballer but only in the Gidley play him anywhere mould. Jack of all trades, master of none.

I'm with Gal.

I know some people have got a lot of love for Jack Bird, but I just don't care now.

Any bad form, and I hope he gets dropped.

Look at the way Kalyn Ponga is being used at the Cowboys. He looks a better prospect than Bird. We shouldn't be developing Bird in order for the Broncos to benefit. Let Loz pick him from Newtown.

Bracing myself now for the barrage of abuse...

No barrage from me.

I'm just pissed he went to Brisbane. They can't sign anyone else now or it's total bs.

Flanno with use him at centre, just as he has been. How is that helping the bronc's?
I only care that Bird plays at his best this year, next year he can turn to shit, who cares

We did give him everything though.

Debut. Origin. Rookie of year. Premiership.

He hasn't repaid any of that.
