What about Greg Bird ?

[Avenger]

Is Greg Bird off contract ? He has now made a great home for himself as a secondrower. Is a state of origin player and has that toughness that we need in our pack. I watched closely when We won against the Titans and he was the best player on the field. Has also put on plenty of size. I'd go all out for him.

 

[ParraSteve]

IM pretty sure he is and he has said that he wants to come back to Sydney

 

[Parraren]

He's listed as being off contract on the list I posted in the rumoured signings thread but I was sure the Titans took up the option to extend his contract?

If not, I agree. Go all out for him. Exactly what we need in the 2nd row.

Hindy, Reni & Bird would make a fantastic 2nd row.

id wait until after nsw gets smashed 3-0 in origin and his price might be lower

 

[Bigfella]

Is the type of player we need, and have probably never really had since price retired.

Genuine mongrel; can tackle; can bust the line and get over the advantage line.

Yes from me.

 

[Bigfella]

Our backrow, hindmarsh included, is absolutely powderpuff material with ball in hand. Without big powerful outisde backs, or even small nippy ones, working to assist, we just can't compete against a kicking game that turns our props around.

 

[Twizzle]

there are worse options around

Have a look at the list I posted in the Rumoured Signings thread.

He's the best 2nd row/lock available after Blair by a country mile.

We need another Glen Morrison type signing. Our 2nd row stinks.

 

[Craig Johnston]

he just activated a 1 year option he had to stay at the titans for 2012

 

[B-Tron 3000]

Glassed his girlfriend and tried to get his 'mate' to take the rap.

No thanks.

 

[TheParraboy]

Id rather Finch or Lyon...

 

[Eels Dude]

I just read last week he had a one year option in his favour to stay at the Titans and he's exercised it.

Oh well, time to close the thread.

Avenger, no offence, buts what about Greg Bird exactly???

at this stage of his career, SOO player or not (dubious at present day), i think we could aim higher maybe??? Although i'm glad we didn't sign that skirt from the Roosters Tom Symonds

Adam Blair is the one I would prefer. I however rate Bird highly. He is a mongrel type that we need. Another that I would also look at but only if they would release them is Jared Warea-Hargreaves or Simon Dwyer.

def....have rated Blair for years and i get what you mean about Bird, but think he might be winding down, but am happy to be proven wrong. Now Simon Dwyer, there is a likely-looking backrower!!!!
