Jack Bird

[ed-grimley]

Bird is a premiership winner at CENTRE, He played all year in 2016 at CENTRE. He played busted with one arm during the grand final at CENTRE.

Now, I’m no highly paid NRL coach like creeping, but I kind of imagine there’s a message in that

Let's get this right - Wayne should be playing him in the centres?

 

[Miller was a legend]

Only, ever, if at all

If this form of birds continues he would have to up there as the worst buy a in the last 10 years, perhaps more.

Making a joke is trolling now?

Mine was a dig at the same NSW selectors but never mind

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

This thread reminds me of when Ricky Stuart famously left out Jarryd Hayne from the NSW team the year after he won the Daly M because he said he's not a fullback but a five eighth and in the second game he picked him on the wing. Could they do something similar to Bird? Wouldn't surprise me tbh.

He's a f**king center, good speed, ok hands, big frame, good finisher. Always has been in my book. Good footy player, not worth 1mill though, fml.

Edit, should have read the rest of the thread but yeahj... Center.

His best position so far has been centre but half the problem is he thinks he's a spine and is being paid as such. Also if he's 'just a centre' you've massively overpaid as no centre in the game is worth over $1 mil a year

You could play taumololo in the centres and he would be would a mill.

He could play 2nd row down the track, he's suited to the edges. Blind Freddy can see it.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Won a premiership, played SoO, how is Blake doing?

Prefer at centre.

Yeah but he's not a 5/8 tho bro. I'm sure you said 5/8 was his best spot. Why did you bring him up as a great 5/8 prospect when you prefer him at centre?

I'd prefer him at centre too, or better yet the back row. But in the halves, he's clunky.

 

[Maroon4life]

I’d be up for selling the fat merkin to another club and footing half his bill.

Got better players sitting in ISC

For the Broncos or Queensland?

When you can tell the difference between the yabbie and the cooking pot you'll know the answer to that question ol' mite.

 

[macnaz]

Lol how quickly people are to lay the boot in

There’s nothing wrong with a diet of maccas & meat pies every day............


Right?

Works for Alien 20

Or when the wildebeest migrate south for the summer.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Made me laugh when the equally fat and useless Dean Ritchie picked Bird to play 6 for the Blues this year.

Not really, he started his career as an edge forward and was not nearly as effective. Taumalolo isn't worth that money if he's not making 15 hit ups and 150m+ per game, at that point he's not really a centre anymore

How the f**k did you come to that conclusion from what he was saying?

 

[Spade]

the f**king sook isnt happy his playing centre now apparently

Wango and the Champ will sort him out.

 

[myrrh ken]

Tell him he only gets his maccas vouchers if he plays centre

 

[Pedge1971]

For the Broncos or Queensland?

Ha ha. Both please.
