Well played Sir Miller of Crooked Nose :lol:

Tru is a gentleman and a scholar.

.....And a raging alcoholic and a masochist and a severe heavy cigar smoker and a.....
And a bloody good Saints man and a bloody good bloke.
He'll do me for mate and this place is better for having him here.
Glad you're back buddy.

Classic :lol:

On Jack Bird, apparentely saints tried talking him into walking out of the contract he signed with the sharks and return to us.
He was actually willing to do that but wanted a gaurenteed start in first grade to return.
If that is really the case, then it goes to show this guy has no loyalty what so ever, not a good trait to have when so young and still starting your career.
You can have all the promise in the world, but to ask for a gaurenteed walk in start in first grade? Yeah thanks but no thanks.
Good luck at the sharks.

He maybe just wants the dragons to match what cronulla have offered. Im assuming it is more like first crack at centre in first grade. People change companies on the regular in order to chase larger roles and promotions. I dont blame Bird in this instance.

When the kid from the mail room wants an executive position without earning his way to that position ,he can get nicked in my book.

Lets hope Saints play their cards right and it is a Beau Scott situation. Serves his apprenticeship at the Sharks and IF good enough returns to the Saints.

How long is he at the Sharks for?

tbf. He was probably our stand out jnr. over the past couple of years. But in saying that, I'm pretty sure the club offered him a spot in the 25. Prob our depth in the 2nd row didn't help retaining him either, i.e Merrin, JDB, Friz, Thomo, Ah-Meow, Matthews.

Now there lies the problem. Au Meow will never improve where as Bird has potential. Pretty sad knowing that a witches hat like Au Mau is taking the spot of a promising junior.

Hard to see Au Meow featuring next year. If he does we will be in for another long cold winter.

Jack Bird- what a cheeky fella he is. Saw him at a cronulla cafe yesterday with the whole team, and he strutted around in there like he owned the place...and the hot waitress :crazy:
