With the game so much faster and exolosive now these guys will be getting injured even more regularly...look at the roosters and cowboys for example.

Massive risk , pangai Jr or hass for me
He could be our version of Victor Radley at lock but he could also be another Foran. The risk is too high but if he stays fit he could be a great addition. It would depend on how much you could get the Broncos to throw in before you’d seriously think about it.

Broncos aren't releasing Pangai or Hass
Then they can keep their “bird” in the broncos cage as well

Swap them tolman, Montoya and holland for Pangai and Bird. They get 3 players, We get 2 players + the 4th tackle back in each set

We don't have to take anyone I think Bird could be a good buy at the right right price.

I would stay well clear of Milf he's so lazy and inconsistent.

Bird at up to 450k would be worth the punt for 2021, if he works, you get a star, if he gets injured, he is off the books after the year anyway.

I agree... play him at 13 and he can play like a Radley through the middle with ball playing ability.

I think he needs a year back in the centres to ease him in but after that you could try him out at lock or even 5/8.

I honestly think this will eventuate. Brisbane has stated that they will forgo $500k of his $900k contract. I’m CHN would have been around $400k a season and so that’s the fit right there. A fit and firing Bird is as good as any player in the comp. he’s had a good season off and been in rehab now so surely he’d be primed to go next season.

Milford is fucking terrible
Milford Looks fat and over weight and has looked this ever since they lost the grand final to the cowboys. Most over rated player in the comp right now

I don’t think Barret would want him to be honest. I hear they like the look of Oliver goudart the english test centre

just read that the broncos would potentially be willing to pay up to $700,000 of bird's $975,000 deal for next year if he goes to another club. im not fussed on signing him but do you think a one year deal worth $275,000 would be a decent grab if he can stay fit?

Would be an astute signing for that much man and worth a punt. For $275k you wouldn't even be bothered if he got a season injury again lol

yeah i agree, on his day he is an elite player. my only worry is we may be carrying too many outside backs. if they choose not to re-sign montoya and holland and give lafai a deal for next year that means we could potentially have lafai, smith, will hopoate, cotric, meaney, dwz, averillo, bird. not to mention the talk about signing curtis scott and albert hopoate. plus schoupp next year if hes ready. would hate to lose an up and comer like averillo to fit in jack bird for a season

At that price, its hard to say no.
Hard to see what the Broncos get out of still paying that much to save $275k but if its true, then that's their problem.
At $275k, its definitely worth the gamble, provided we aren't required to pay more in following years (I dont know when his contract expires).

He’s got this year and another year in his favour. He’d be stupid not to activate that offer
