They must have had a crack sale down at your local store yesterday, Bird is our best player, end of story.

Methinks Gallen takes that honour.

The cops have had plenty of time to withdraw charges etc.

If they have gone ahead with both charges, I'd say they must be confident of having some kind of case.

As I said before, they have massive intellectual resources at their disposal they can fall back on.

Due to its high profile, it wouldnt surprise me if they had a QC or SC looking at it at some stage.

Some of the best minds of the legal profession are out to nail him ...as peoples reputations are on the line all over the place.

Never underestimate the cops.

Thats right and a case like this really deserves a QC to be looking at it, backed with enormous resources to boot.

Don't want to look like idiots by having to withdraw charges do we.

Meanwhile the guy that murdered my mother 12 months ago still hasn't had a psych test yet, and the case has been handed from one low level prosecutor to another. Go figure !

Yeah hope you are joking.

In regards to the comment about Bird no great loss. I agree that we can better use his money elsewhere (whether he is guilty or not)

Current Second rowers for next season.
Gallen, Tupou, Weirdo, Anderson, Milo, Bukuya?, Douggie?, Green?

Than you compare that to our backline (which still has simmons!!!), and is without any big names.

Are we not better using the $300-350, on a player like cutie

Anyway I know a bit off topic, but, I just find it interesting that people see him as such a severe loss when we already have a rep back line without him, and which would leave great players in reserve grade if he does come back.

Geezus f**k.
I was saying how incredible it was with Birds charges being so different just a few police stations away in Sydney.
Mate, if you are in QLD, I can only imagine your anguish & frustration.
Very sorry to hear that.

unfortunately i am.

Well I don't have the words to write.

Very sorry to hear this sort of thing about one of "our own".

ummmm

I feel for you Surely. I have no idea what it must be like except the obvious. Unpleasant and ire provoking. It's bad enough losing a loved one from natural causes let alone having them stolen from you.

ummmmmmmm

Im dreadfully sorry too Surely.

All this Bird stuff is all bogus crap compared to your situation.

If you want share any of it, or how you are feeling, even to get a tiny bit of it off your chest, just PM me mate.

Youre pretty courageous to put it that way Surely.

Puts things into some kind of perspective.

It must be almost unbearable for you to have to listen to players of the likes of SBW whinging on about their miserable lives and being ungrateful about their circumstances.

And theres mentally ill people out and about everywhere.

I'm sorry for your loss Surely.

Don't want to hijack the thread and turn it into a debate on mental health, but I recall at the time you mentioned that schizophrenics had a high murder rate, do you recall exactly what that was?

Reiterating the pair's determination to stay in a relationship, he did admit Ms Milligan remained in the US for now.
thus avoiding any attempt to serve her with a subpoena to appear as a compellable witness for the prosecution.

Condolences from my family to yours Surely.

Having had a fair bit to do with the legal and mental health systems in Qld in a previous job, I now first hand how f*cken slow they move. It's a shattering experince for the families.
