Loser talk, forwards are fine, we’ll make the 8.

This.......∆.......100%

It’s a great interview. He’s got a new club, no hard feelings about the dragons, and a cheeky dig to flanno, which was just banter. He’s having a joke and looking forward to the season.

Yes I realise he was having a joke and that is why I said "I know a lot of it is bullshit taken out of context by the reporters". However, Hunt, Lomax and now Bird departed from the cliche answers given by players leaving their previous clubs. This then gives reporters licence to twist their words to suit a narrative. The main words to come out of the story from the JOKE were "they didn't want me" and "revenge". All moves towards a negative slant towards the Dragons. It was extremely obvious that Bird was having fun with Flanno.

I get the feeling something will give at the Broncos hoping a middle forward.

Corey Jensen maybe. Only one year left on his contract. Wouldn't be bad

Bird was never a smart interviewee. Remember the shot about the fans knowing f&$k all. See yah Jack,thanks for nothing.

Bennett really does believe he's Jesus!

I bet I live to regret that statement!

Preferably not by injection.

I disagree that not making the 8 is a failure
It will be disappointing but until our front row and go forward has improved I can not see us making the 8, similar to last year finish 10-11th
We have improved in the backs but halves combo will take a few weeks of NRL real games to click
What I do expect is better defence closer games etc and to be in the mix
We over achieved in some respect last year and things were masked by not that many injuries to major players compared to other clubs and some surprise teams that fell off a cliff like Wahs Broncos and Souths with superior squads
We won’t get that again to the same magnitude next year?
2026 it will be a non negotiable as I expect a slightly better squad again.

ok well let’s just tune in in 2026
No point watching next year

"things I can't understand
it's too hot to handle so I gotta get up and go'o
it's a cruel summer, leaving me here all alone
it's cruel summer......"

It's a great song by Banarama from the early 80's that's still on my Sony Walkman. Still being covered by many bands and genres to this day
