Okay now.... the way I see it .
Bird has been cleared in a court of law in a democratic country. I can live with that. A lot of dickheads have had their day in court and have either won or lost cases. That's life.
Now to be a bit democratic here again.
Recent rugby league names that come to mind..... Ingliss, Whatmough, Stewart, Lockyer, cutie, the east bloke, the ex Tiges bloke, the this bloke, the that bloke.
Been quiet a few of them in dispatches over the last year or so.
Most of them stayed and played on the field for their respective clubs, with the blessings of the NRL.
So now that Mr Bird has been cleared in a court of law the only offence that we as a club can hold against the Bird is the fact that he kept his guts and didn't say a word.
Is that a hanging offence. I have strong feelings about it. If I was the coach I'd be real pissed off. If one of my leading players couldn't and wouldn't confide in me about the incident then I would not want him in my team. That is my opinion on the matter, but in reality, and in light of how all the other transgressors were dealt with, and upon some of their return to top league level and to be dealt with as the return of the demi gods.... then f**k the lot of them.
Bird should be playing for the Sharks next year.
If he doesn't want to, and the Club does not want him then so be it. But if the league is fair dinkum in anyway shape or form, and I strongly believe they wouldn't know how to be fair dinkum if their nuts were on fire, then they should direct that the Sharks have first say.
Again judging by the NRL's double standards, and the fact that our Club has lacked balls for years and years and years.... then I think old Birdy will be moving north of the Tweed.
Can't blame him, other dickheads from the Shire have moved north .... eh Coastal?
