What is Jack Bird's best position?

[Life's Good]

Oh this is good. Poor old Broncs having a cry. Greenberg will be on the first plane up there tomorrow to give out hugs and back rubs.

You reap what you sow. They had no trouble trotting out Mundine in a Broncs jersey when they poached him. Karma is a b*tch.

What are you still on about this? LOL I've moved on. Here's an idea for you Nice Beaver why don't you post something about football.

The irony of a bloke who dredges up posts from 10 years ago, telling someone to "move on".

On football related matters - the Bronco's eat bags of dicks

He reminds me of me when I went round. Versatile and strong. I still don't know what position I was lol. In the end I played five eighth but hit like a prop.
Birds a good buy.

Well there is a difference straight away.

Most of the talent from the Broncos has been produced by them. The notion of "Broncos raiding talent from other clubs" does not stack up considering they have more talent that is produced from their own backyard then other clubs have around the league.

Also as posted earlier Broncos matched the Eels offer for Corey Norman, but then the Eels topped their offer to Norman by $50 000 and the Broncos didn't have room to go any further. If Broncos lose a player "Broncos didn't know what they had" and if Broncos sign a player "Broncos don't have a salary cap" can't have it both ways.

Whats the backyard you talk about? QLD?

Hmm, so your illustrating cap fairness by pointing out your salary cap bending team, was outbid by a proven salary cap cheating team. Righto, seems a legit point to me.

 

[Nightward]

Lets not mention that not only do they have money but the entire Brisbane metro junior league talent pool to themselves. This is not through sound management but through a backroom deal done post Super League.

I see this comes up a lot around here.

You NSWers are aware that Queensland has roughly the same population as Sydney, right?

The player pool the Broncos theoretically have access to according to this is therefore roughly the same size as the Sydney teams have each.

Birds probably the best all round player in the game. Not to mention tough as guts and strong. You put him in virtually any position and he'll look good simply put

Time the nrl released salaries and tpa details so the stakeholders of the game can see wtf is going on.

This is such a no brainer that it can only be deliberate by the nrl.

The Broncos were trying to pretend bird went for $700k a year for 3 years for the honour of playing for Wayne and the smh and sharks outed them at $1m over 4.

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

1 million over 4 years? f**k! That's got to be the most lucrative deal in Broncos history.

 

[Knightmare]

Players just really, really, really want to play for Uncle Wayne.

The sweet deals on new cars, modern inner-city apartments, speedboats and paper bags that somebody has clumsily left wads of 100's in are all just a massive bonus...

Wait is it 1m under the cap plus TPA's or do the TPA's add up to 1m?

Check your facts champ. As at June 2016 Sydney had just over twice as many people as Brisbane. (5m vs 2.3m). Being generous I will exclude Penritg and Saints from the list of Sydney clubs as it can be argued they draw from a different population.

Where does that leave your argument?

Brisbane population is 2 mil, so luckily Syd has a population of 18 mil to service the 9 clubs

He said Queensland. The statement was correct.

The problem is the TPAs the clubs have 'nothing' to do with geberally.

I asssume it's 700k under the cap and $300k of TPAs. That way news ltd aren't technically lying when they say he signed for the $700

 

[Pedge1971]

He said Queensland. The statement was correct.

Yeah but the conclusion was not. The reality is Brisbane have a massive advantage in terms of the pool they can draw from in their own backyard (i.e. Brisbane) compared to everyone else and especially the other two Qld teams.

 

[Knight76]

Yep, of course I bet only 700k is counting under the cap. But we will never see any of this will we!

The NRL are happy with how things are and have no intention of fixing this crap!
