Greg Bird to miss 4-6 weeks

[Vic Mackey]

Charged with a grade 3 dangerous tackle

Smith and skater charged but will escape suspension with an early guilty plea.

Imagine the outcry if what happened to bird happened to a qlder. 'conspiracy' 'anti qld agenda' and so on.

 

[BunniesMan]

No Bird. No Pearce. Finally Daley will be forced to pick someone other than his band of consistent losers.

 

[Usain Bolt]

Bird brain. Didn't he see the clamp down on lifting tackles? Someone tell him a bloke broke his neck due to this. Tell him to ring his mate to take the blame for him

 

[Tommy Smith]

Absolutely ridiculous.

Along with Jarryd Hayne, Greg Bird has been NSW best player over the last 8 or so years. He always raises his game for Origin so this is a massive blow.

Grossly over the top charge.

 

[Vic Mackey]

didnt put his hands between the legs, bloke landed on his back....fail to see why he has been penalised so harshly

I agree that this should be the real focus of the Bird tackle.

 

[nick87]

Yeah im no Greg Bird fan, but he ALWAYS steps up at Origin level.

Past offences, I would imagine. When you keep on playing Russian Roulette, eventually, you'll shoot yourself.

 

[Patorick]

It'll be reduced on appeal.

With some Titanic sooking to all the media that will listen for added effect.

Back-row really isn't a worry for NSW, so it's not that big of a deal IMO.

 

[Hutty1986]

Absolute f*cking joke. Yet the qlderp f*ckwits will still claim there's some magical NSW bias. Teflon Smith & Slater were always going to get off, regardless of what they did.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

What a load of bullshit...... ridiculous

 

[The Pelican]

That's a disgrace. Absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Canard]

Where the official information?, what is his current loading for prior offences etc.?

 

[Usain Bolt]

Yeah im no Greg Bird fan, but he ALWAYS steps up at Origin level.

And how many series has he won by stepping up?:lol:

 

[Canard]

He is the Wally Lewis of losing.

Mate, 10 more elbows onto Ballin's bloddy face and Smith would have copped a warning.

No doubt.

 

[goodplayer]

those poisoning canetoads fear the bird

 

[ellskimore]

And how many series has he won by stepping up?:lol:

I know he has been awarded man of the match on at least two occasions in Origin.

 

[hineyrulz]

No way was that a grade 3, and surprise surprise the protected species get off scott free.

 

[Mr Saab]

Yeah in dead rubbers. Bird is a fine player, but he aint the be all and end all to NSW winning / losing
