What is Jack Bird's best position?

[muzby]

Stick him at prop.

 

[God-King Dean]

2nd row

Centre a defensive liability

Awful fullback

 

[myrrh ken]

Not big enough for 2nd row/lock at the moment. Maybe later in his career.

Centre is best. His defence is fine.

 

[Starturn]

Got into rep sides because he was Aboriginal - well 0.000000001%.

 

[Starturn]

No short kicking game. Rules out the halves.

2nd rower. He is bigger than Wade Graham.

 

[Clifferd]

He played 1 age group above me. I've played with him a few times at Berkeley, very injury prone but even at 13-14 you always knew he was gonna make it big.

His preferred position back then was lock, maybe add a few more kgs and he'll be perfect for a ball type playing lock

 

[God-King Dean]

Don't buy into 'not big enough'
While I don't particularly rate him, Peachey handles it fine in the middle.

 

[betcats]

Peachey isn't a great example tbh he hasn't played much in the middle. Never seen him play a full game there for the panthers, he has shifted to hooker a bit to cover injuries during games, I doubt Peach could handle lock full time and be effective. Bird could probably handle lock but do you really want someone of his attacking calibre tackling props 30-40 times a game?

Put him the edge for mine, centre or back row is his spot.

 

[myrrh ken]

He is bigger than Wade Graham.

If you mean he's shorter and lighter than Graham, then yes I agree.

Anyway, I'm sure he doesn't want to play in the pigs now.

You would struggle to find a young rep player who ISNT injury prone...

Between their regular club games and the 2 or 3 rep teams they will be on, they will be playing at least 2 games a week from february until october every year.

 

[carcharias]

Peachey is no forward .
The sooner he figures that out the better.
Probably be a good 13467

Hooker at a stretch

 

[myrrh ken]

Bird has chronic arthritis tho so I think that would've affected him

 

[Patorick]

Right edge back rower.

Or right center.

I think he had 2 shoulder reconstructions by the time he was 16, and the ongoing arthritis issues. Yes he played club footy, school footy and in many rep teams but to me that still isn't normal.

I think between 16-18 he played not many more than half a dozen games (due to the arthritis) yet was still selected in all the NSW u16s and 18s teams. He was obviously one of the best juniors rated going around and it's even showing in the big league

Got into rep sides because he was Aboriginal - well 0.000000001%.

I hope you've got a bib for all that shit dribbling out of your mouth.

I suspect Bird made rep sides because he's an awesome player.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

.



no idea.
5/8

maybe

You reckon if Cronulla resign him he might play lock to take over Gallen?

Different style obviously, but he has the size and skills

You're insane.
