Big decision for the club, we could take the stand of the LA Lakers who did no sack Kobi Bryant when facing rape charge, they could have cut him loose and seen what would have happened, but he was innocent.
The club could meet with first grade players and see what they feel, there is no use keeping Bird, if the players dont want him, these things need to be sorted out.
Should the NRL deregister him, and he is proven innocent would that not allow Bird to sue the NRL for lose of wages.
French rugby union might have another player on its way
