As someone who grew up with Greg, played footy with and against Greg in juniours and someone who is still a close family friend of Gregs, I can say that the action you saw him perform is in no way indicitive of how Greg really is.
Not to excuse what he did, but what you saw uesterday was the result of inexperience and frustration. That said, I felt pretty sickened and ashamed by what he did.
What a load of bullsh*t, i also have had dealings with Greg Bird, and while he is a decent person off the park , this is the same bloke who ran 40 metres in a GRAND FINAL for MAITLAND in juniors to King Hit a bloke and in doing so cost himself a chance of playing for the Knights in the FLEGG GRAND FINAL.
To make matters worse, he played against the rules of the Knights Jersey Flegg for his local club Maitland in the SAME GAME, when he was not supposed to be even doing so ONE week prior to the Knights GRAND FINAL.
