Daily Telegraph/Rothfield BIRD TO THE DOGS

[blueyedsamurai]

Played 8 games in 2018 and 9 games in 2019.

 

[bradyk]

He's reportedly on 1m. I don't see Broncos willing to pay more than half. For 500k I'm not sure.

 

[TABOO]

Bird was a class player 4 years ago.
No thanks, milford please, his kicking game when on is the best in the nrl.

You're a funny guy

 

[TABOO]

If we were to sign him, I am done.

 

[Moedogg]

I thought we were tryna get out of the current mess that we're in?

 

[steeliz]

Foran 2.0

 

[Noeasyday]

I really like Jack Bird as a player, the bloke has had enough bad luck but I don't know... How many tampons per team?

 

[capt obvious]

Burton please

 

[Family Guy]

Fuck no

SHOOSH

Having already signed Nick Cotric, the Bulldogs are now considering an approach to injury-prone Brisbane Broncos star Jack Bird to switch to Belmore next year.

They don't have a starting position for Johnston if JAC comes so unless he wants to play reserve grade on close to minimum wage Rabbitohs can't fit him in the salary cap. At that point Johnston's best interest is to move on (playing NRL and money).

johnston is the victim to fit Addo Carr.

i wouldn't mind Johnston at the dogs IF we move on or lose one of our wing plebs in Okenbor, Crichton or DWZ. DWZ most like for like player.

No room atm for him. We need a Fullback.

 

[DogsOfWar1704]

Already paying Foran to sit on the sidelines can’t afford to be paying him aswell

 

[doggieaaron]

No thanks way too injury prone now

 

[Mr Shhh]

another one that will keep the physiotherapists busy

 

[B-Train]

Surely not. Chase Stanley is less injury prone than this dude.

 

[GreenTurd]

Fmd At least he’ll keep Foran company in rehab

 

[Baby Blues]

Honestly prefer to take a punt on Albert Hopoate and his 3 ACLs than Bird

Albert is definitely one we should be targeting. Somebody on here said he might be about to do his Mormon mission though

 

[Dogsville]

What a joke, spend some money on a young prospect, this is a backward step. We need a veteran half to show some leadership, and some forwards with heart, why would we want another injury prone player

 

[Jabba the Mutt]

Agree totally with what others have stated - Bird is a huge injury risk.

Here's a brief synopsis from Wiki :

"2018 - Bird would have a horror 2018 NRL season, only playing in 8 matches for the Broncos because of his shoulder and sternum injuries were still ongoing during the year.

2019 - Bird suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee injury during the Broncos 26-10 win at Suncorp Stadium. Bird’s 2019 NRL season was cut short, finishing with 9 matches...

2020 - On 11 March, Bird was ruled out for the entire 2020 NRL season after suffering an ACL injury at pre-season training.'


17 games in three years is a pretty damning statistic.

We should be spending our money elsewhere.
