Yeah nah Barry I'm going to have to disagree with you.

I fail to comprehend how bird in a matter of days could snare any tpa's up there, period. Let's be honest, how marketable would he be amongst qld'ers???

Call me stupid, naive or gullible, but if the broncos aren't initiating/securing tpa's, then I have no fcking idea.
Hi naïve.

Call me stupid, inept or some other adjective but how do you multi quote from two different pages of the thread. It always deletes my draft when I change page to get second quote

You can hit the little disk which means save or just wait longer before you go to the next page and it will save automatically.

It doesn't require them to have TPAs ready for Bird. The simple fact that they have may have valuable TPAs for the existing squad means that they have more on-cap to spend on outsiders.

Not only that but they just offer to provide TPA opportunities when Bird gets there. And because Broncos players always seem to end up with TPAs Bird trusts that he will too. Whereas we can offer to introduce prospective players to TPA providers and they (or their managers) know that such offers are worthless because ours don't pan out, especially now.

I don't think he's over-rated; but he's one of those players whose utility value goes against him. He's not a better half or five-eight than Norman or Moses - but he might be a better allround player than either of them. He'd probably make a fantastic old-style lock-forward.
Agreed, he's probably a better footballer than Moses or Norman but he's not the player we need. We need a half with a good kicking game and someone capable of leading a team around the park. Hopefully Moses is that man because Jack Bird isn't.

With respect to the 2018-19 agreement, Moses may have waived his right to renege, but the NRL may still insist on waiting for the standard cooling off period to expire before they register the deal.

Moses waiving his rights is a private deal between him and the Eels. The NRL don't have to recognise it.
Think they do, its a contract & NRL don't have the right to pick and choose what clauses they accept and what they don't.

I don't understand why Cronulla as a whole is so upset about Bird being poached by Broncos.
Did they not do the same to Dragons when they poached him before St George had the opportunity to play him first grade few years back. Didn't the dragons also develop him before they signed him?
