Great news. Gives breathing space to enjoy his footy as a shark for 2016. Just fear we will all be having the same conversations this time next year.
I worry that it might not be a long career, considering his health challenges. He does seem to be a determined young bloke though.
When he matures a bit more he might realise it's not all about money.
if he wins us a comp and do whatever the hell he wants in 2 yrs time.
That's a given.
I don't think it is all about money for him, otherwise he'd have taken the 5 year guaranteed.
He will regret the 1 year deal if he becomes a victim of 2nd year syndrome. Still no confirmation from the club. This saga has dragged on like religion. He is coming though.
Dragged on? Mate it is December. He has been able to negotiate with other clubs for a grand total of 52 days.
He is a young kid that is exploring his options.
This has far from dragged on.
If he is still a free agent next August, then it has dragged on.
There are way more players, and better players than Jack Bird off contract. It's the media that has manipulated this into a back page story.
You haven't read about the 3 teams chasing Boyd Cordner yet.
At what point do you think the Dragons began talking to him?
I'd like to wager it was before the 52 days. However, I do see your point.
I don't care to be honest. 2016 hasn't started yet, the year or the season. I am not to worried about what he will be doing in 2017.
He was also negotiating with Manly and the Titans as well. He is a kid setting his future up. What evs. Take up a hobby and stress less about player movement.
Not shit stirring here, just passing on from a close personal friend of Jack's. He has made no decision as yet. This guy would 100% know, he spoke to him this arvo. As I said not trolling just passing it on. Think of this as you may. Have a good and safe Xmas
