Bulldogs, dragons, tigers chasing Bird
Dragons can have him. Bung knees, 800k and all!!!Reported today those 3 and panthers.
It also says bulldogs and dragons are leading the way. Dragons want him to replace Widdop they said.
There is no way on this planet, that any induvidual would ask for a release from the final 2 years of their contract and throw away $1.6m, unless they have another employer up their sleeves who would pay the same or more for those 2 years. I reckon that is highly unlikely.Nah I think it’s reported he has asked for a release. Broncos at least stated this.
If that’s the case they might not have to pay a cent for bird.
That said no club with a clue will pay him 800k. He has all the ability to be worth that but until he puts a season on the field together he’s not worth anywhere near that.
Though bird might want to go back to Sydney and might be happy
With a deal for less and back himself? Not like he’s in Boyd situation where he has no chance ahead.
Dragons might be crazy enough to give him 600k+ too. Which might suit him.
I’d agree though he doesnt have two years.There is no way on this planet, that any induvidual would ask for a release from the final 2 years of their contract and throw away $1.6m, unless they have another employer up their sleeves who would pay the same or more for those 2 years.

Broncos like the Roosters are masters at pushing players out.
I would say the Broncos have leaked "Bird asking for a release" this to the media, to start there process on pushing a player out which they do not want
Wow, that's a damning statistic.Jack Bird has played 17 games in 2 years.
On current form or there lack of, plus the amount of games he has played in those 2 years he aint worth 400k.I’d agree though he doesnt have two years.
Was reported next year is his final year no?
Meaning 800k and nothing? Is part of that 800k incentives?
If dragons or panthers or us offer a 2-3 year 500-600k a year deal and he wants to return to Sydney that might be enough?
Let’s face it he isn’t getting 800k a year the year after and he knows that.
I heard something similar and completely agree with what your saying if true!On current form or there lack of, plus the amount of games he has played in those 2 years he aint worth 400k.
If he does have only 1 season left at the Broncos, he should stay there and prove himself for a new contract, unless there is a club dumb enough to pay big bucks for him
I am pretty sure Bird suffers from rheumatoid arthritis which causes the joints to sieze up, and he needs to inject himself on a weekly basis with a drug called Enbrel.
His playing career will be a short one due to the disease, and that is the main reason he went over to the Broncos from Cronulla to cash in before his body starts to shut down. It was a smart move on his behalf, but any club who recruits him on big money is taking a massive gamble considering the disease he has, along with his injury history over the past 2 years.
Keep in mind this disease he suffers from adds alot more time and suffering to his healing processes during rehabilitation for his injuries
Not at that price tagSaw an article somewhere last night that no other club wanted Bird, not one offer.
Worse than Chase Stanley...This is one big FUCK NO..!!
...he’s more broken than Fozzy...
