Not his go - Greg Bird

[myrrh ken]

5 yr contract @ $540 000 a season at age 31.

Honestly where do they get the money from?

 

[gUt]

Bummer, though he might be the NRL's face of Rugby League in 2017.

Oh well

It's a huge opportunity missed

 

[jim_57]

Rumoured to be 3 years playing with 2 years on the staff, starting as Assistant coach of the Under 19s. Bird Captained them earlier during his brief NRL exile, he obviously made his mark and seems to be highly regarded over there.

 

[NrlVader]

Allez Birdy!

 

[POPEYE]

The French are patient people, they made Taylor and Carney honorary VIP's, no reason Birdy can't confuse them for a year or two

 

[Lambretta]

Bird played there previously after the glassing?

So they know he's a quality human being then
Sheesh

 

[Mr Angry]

Onya Birdy, well played

 

[ed-grimley]

Catalans don't seem to learn though do they?

This Carney is a f**kwit, get rid of him
This Taylor is a f**kwit, get rid of him

Now who should we sign????

I know, Greg Bird is available. He's not a f**kwit is he?

They want footballers not accountants.

 

[myrrh ken]

Then why choose Dave Taylor?

 

[Lambretta]

They want footballers not accountants.

Exhibit 1 - Cameron Smith. An accountant

You know how to pick your examples lol

PS. If they'll spend $500,000 on Greg Bird, maybe an accountant is EXACTLY what they need

Every time Greg Bird scores a try, the loudspeakers at the ground should play Surfin' Bird.

 

[davi]

I've never liked or respected Greg Bird, but what this player (Jamie Action) did to him is not called for either. Reports are Action is going to face a long time on the sidelines.

 

[Perth Red]

Just making sure his airway was clear, wouldn't want him choking.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Pretty ordinary stuff, regardless of what you think of Bird.

 

[seanoff]

The big thing i took out of that video was that there is no head injury assessment.

He was out cold and played on. Lol.

 

[Canard]

Not great, but hardly a Danny Williams king hit or a Trent Waterhouse dog shot from behind.

 

[Frank_Grimes]

It's absolutely worse than Danny Williams.

Bird had no chance to do anything to defend himself and was already out cold. He's a merkin, but no one deserves shit like that. One of the most cowardly things anyone could do on the field. Acton should be run out of the game forever.

Not for mine, but each to their own.

Be interesting to see what the English judiciary handdown. Ironically enough Bird is on a charge also (not for that incident however)

Trent Waterhouse dog shot from behind?? I assume you mean when White won the one on one with Steve Price and Trent Waterhouse got sent off for F-all? Or are you referring to another incident?

If remember, Justin Poore did something very similar to this Pommy git once White knocked Price out. That was a dog act for sure. As was the hit Thirdman put on from behind on Choc Wotmong in the same game chasing QLD's thug-kick at the end.

PS Ben Creagh is a soft cock.

Crash tackling someone from behind whilst they go toe to toe with someone is a probably the one of the lowest acts in League history. Just cowardly scum.

Justin Poore, whatever happened to that thug??
